Thunder that accompanies lightening is like a sonic boom that can be as loud as a gunshot or jet taking off. All in all, … Continue reading “In A Flash” →

Mark Twain once said, “The report of my death has been grossly exaggerated.” Well the report of the death of Dave’s BLOG is a bit exaggerated.  It may have been on life support, but it seems to have a little breath left.   When I stopped the writing, I just didn’t have much left in the tank. … Continue reading “Finishing Strong” →

I’ve given a few talks over the years. At times I could sense that the audience was “with me”…laughing at the right spots, weeping at that special moment, poised for the coup de grâce.
