The Thunder and Lightning over Arizona Air Show

This air show is near and dear to my heart. I watched it from my home while growing up. I attended when I was an A-10A Crew-Chief in the 80s and as a Flying Crew-Chief on the C-9A in the 2000s. I even attended as a VIP in 2014 when my staff and I, from my local magazine, were invited. I have loved this show for years… but we missed it this year. YouTube video…

SWOT the heck am I doing?

I find myself examining markets and communities while developing a plan to open some food-related businesses. As usual, I am focused on the neighborhoods and communities surrounding the proposed concept and evaluating what will and what won’t work. While I have my own ways of doing this, there is an academic word for it called “SWOT.” It stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. It has been around since the 60’s when some Harvard’s brains…
