My wife and daughter do most of the work on this site and pass on good information to me which they discover. The blog was my Christmas present from them.

As we work on keeping the office up and running during this economic pinch, it has been important to keep looking forward and setting new goals. Your enthusiastic efforts have given us some fresh new ideas to discuss and share.

Thank you.
I am going on a major bike ride in September around the Cascades, folks are joining us for a day or a weekend along the way. Maybe you will consider partaking? We are posting the schedule this week? Just a thought.

Thank you for your extremely thoughtful introduction. I especially like how you shared your experience with the blog. Your frame, precision, and depth reflect a seasoned and organized mind.

My blog is a perpetual work in progress, so it’s great to see your take on things. It sounds like the key theme of “standing on the shoulders of giants” resonates. As much as I like sharing my lessons on the job, I also enjoy sharing wisdom of the ages from books, people, and quotes. It’s an endless supply of insights and actions.

I like your focus on your blog. Several of my friends are avid cyclists, and biking was one of my favorite passions growing up. I spent a lot of time exploring the roads, and pushing my limits. I also like the idea of renewable energy and I’m a fan of renewal. My Dad worked at a company that pioneered early solar energy reuse, and one of my Uncles re-engineered inner-cities to reverse decline and promote growth and revitalization.
