One day, that anything happened to be my bro-in-law’s fishing rod. It just happened that an really old couple across from us…

Same aerodynamics that lifted the planes…same desires to work, earn, rest, play and go home to their families. We all do.…

________________ Technology helps easy access to information, but it cannot help with transformation. For example: the Taliban are collapsing those lego pieces built over the past two decades, while in New York, the Governor resigned – after 60- years worth of institutional course-correction (sociall mores ).
