Shell Game – Brilliant, Probably Unintentional

~ Dan Wallace ~ 5 Comments

Like much of America, I anxiously awaited the results of the Mueller investigation with some hope that it would find evidence that Trump cooperated with or enlisted the assistance of Russia in order to gain the presidency.  I had that hope because I’m in favor of anything legal that gets him out of office. Just … Continue reading Shell Game – Brilliant, Probably Unintentional

Chickens Crossing Roads

~ Dan Wallace ~ Leave a comment

Years ago, I received a humorous email containing made-up answers to the classic question, “Why did the chicken cross the road?” My favorite was attributed to FBI Agent Fox Mulder of the X-Files: “You saw the chicken cross the road with your own eyes!  How many more chickens have to cross the road before you … Continue reading Chickens Crossing Roads

Start Your Year with a Smile – 2019

~ Dan Wallace ~ 2 Comments

Welcome to the 8th Annual edition of this post. I started 2018 in Key West, which is an interesting place, and one that left me with a couple of things to report, but for which I wasn’t able to get a picture. Actually, the first of those happened in Miami Beach.  Katie and I were … Continue reading Start Your Year with a Smile – 2019

The Most Non-Partisan Thing You Can Do

~ Dan Wallace ~ 6 Comments

A friend of mine keeps sending me emails staking out his strongly-held conservative positions, attacking and ridiculing liberals and Democrats.  I feel very sad about this, but not because I think he’s necessarily wrong.   Like any of us, sometimes he is, sometimes he isn’t.  I’m sad because it’s like watching someone trying to hit an … Continue reading The Most Non-Partisan Thing You Can Do

Ducks, Spades and Psychopaths. And a Little Anonymity to Boot.

~ Dan Wallace ~ 3 Comments

When my clients are trying to solve a problem, one of the things I lean on them to do is get really clear what the actual problem is.  Part of that is learning to use clear, unambiguous language.  To call a spade a spade.  To stop talking about “Centers of Influence” because that’s fuzzy.  What … Continue reading Ducks, Spades and Psychopaths. And a Little Anonymity to Boot.

What the Pope Could Have Said

~ Dan Wallace ~ 4 Comments

I’m not a Catholic, far from it, but I want to like this Pope.  That, however, is becoming increasingly difficult. Here’s what he might have said upon his arrival in Ireland this week, but did not: “We are here to serve our flock.  It is not the other way around.  Nothing could be further from … Continue reading What the Pope Could Have Said

Second Chances – Part II

~ Dan Wallace ~ 6 Comments

In response to my post a few days ago about the general misunderstanding of Second Amendment, I was steered to this CNN story, that simply presents the text exchange between two sisters, one of whom was trapped in the high school. https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/15/us/sisters-texts-florida-school-shooting-trnd/index.html?sr=twCNN021518sisters-texts-florida-school-shooting-trnd0853PMStory Please take a moment to read it.  If it doesn’t move you to … Continue reading Second Chances – Part II

Second Chances

~ Dan Wallace ~ 5 Comments

I’m a little tired of this.  I’m guessing you are, too. We’re living in very strange times.  I’ll have more to say about that – from a big picture perspective – soon.  But for now, let’s stay focused. There have been eight school shootings so far in 2018.  Taking out weekends, when they don’t happen, … Continue reading Second Chances

Start Your Year With a Smile – 2018 Edition

~ Dan Wallace ~ 8 Comments

Welcome to the 2018 Edition of my photographic year in review.  A couple of modest themes will show up later on, but for the most part we're just going to dive right in. Sometimes fusion works really well.  Like with cuisine. And jazz. As a retail concept, though, maybe it can be just a bit … Continue reading Start Your Year With a Smile – 2018 Edition
