Happy New Year and More

By Steve | Published: January 29, 2012
Well here we are almost through the first month of the new year. How are the resolutions coming? Hopefully you are still on track. But even if you should waver a little, just make the necessary adjustment and keep moving. Don’t stress over whether you are or are not staying true to your goal(s). Make the fix and keep moving.

The Olympian: An American Triumph

By Steve | Published: December 29, 2011
Muhammad Ali. Jackie Robinson. Dr. John Baxter Taylor, Jr. The first two names need no introduction. The latter, Dr. Taylor, may not have been a three-time World Heavyweight Champion or dominate in six World Series, but his accomplishments are stunning: Dr. Taylor was the first African American to win an Olympic Gold medal. Dr. Taylor is little known; his obscurity perpetuated further by the fact that the great Olympian Jesse Owens is often accredited with Dr. Taylor’s landmark Olympic achievement.

Relapse – A Brother in Battle

By Steve | Published: November 2, 2011
So if you haven’t heard the news, my buddy Ethan Zohn’s cancer is back.  I found out earlier this week just before the news broke to the rest of the world. It’s maddening… and frustrating. I have faith that Ethan will once again kick the crud out of his Hodgkins Lymphoma. And I keep finding [...]

By Steve | Published: October 22, 2011

What a Difference a Day Makes

By Steve | Published: August 29, 2011
Well, I am glad that is over. I am happy to report that we successfully made it through Hurricane Irene. Although our area was pretty badly hit, we personally made out very well with minimal issues.
