Comeback
Heard a good comeback from a Senior to a Millennial. The young was mocking the older in saying “You know nothing about games, apps, or browsers.” The older said, “Yes, but I can read cursive, tell time on a clock with hands, know how to change a tire and how to write a check.” Want […]
Things To Do Now!
1. Google yourself and check what people are saying about you. 2 Get a signature file in your email. Sending out business emails without a signature file giving contact information is like giving out a business card with only your name. Don’t know how to do it? Find a 10 year old kid. 3. Go […]

UCLA Versus The Tar Heels
A Moment of Reflection The Bruins will be playing North Carolina in the Sweet 16 this Friday. In 1968 they met in the NCAA Championship game at the Sports Arena and UCLA won 101-69. Wooden’s fourth title. I was at the game with my 6 year old son Danny. The more interesting game was the […]
We Should Check Our Spam Regularly
This is something I constantly forget to do. Recently I checked and there was an email from my office that the computer thought was spam, some important information from NMLS, and a newsletter from Tristan Ahumada. Those should not be in spam. Also, I have some categories entitled promotions, updates, social and forums that I […]
