This is a blog that I have been waiting over a year to write. A little more than a year ago, I decided that it would be best for me to terminate my law partnership, sell the office condominium that my partner and I own, and reset my career path. At that time, I was uncertain as to how that new career path would look.

We love to play Connect 4 and have several versions (including a  “Captain’s Game” that replicates the old game played at sea). We’ve had our travel version the longest.

Over the years, pieces have been lost and we are getting precariously close to not having enough markers to play to the end of a game that uses “all”.

Some great news from Michigan, created by high school students.   From msn news: A Michigan high school has decided to stop crowning homecoming queens amid bullying issues.  

  Do you have cash in your wallet? I’m not asking how much just whether there is anything green in there. I’m pretty sure the answer is generational.
