Are you a boss or leader, or neither.

Someone recently asked me what's the difference between a boss and a leader. Of course, not being an expert I had a ready answer.

A boss creates conditions that people are expected to obey, while a leader shares a vision that people choose to follow.

Do you agree for disagree? Is one better than the other or is there a place for both?

Would rather be a boss or a leader, or neither? Do you really want a piece of this?

Let me know.

Dating, besides being fun, can also be a challenge. We look for a meaningful relationship but don't want to waste our time on trash. Some of us may want someone who is wealthy or extremely attractive. Others may hope that the date is clean, healthy, reasonably sane and willing to put decent effort into their life and a relationship. 

When I was in high school, a girl invited me over for dinner. I thought it was a very nice gesture and, being a guy, was never one to turn down food. I was looking forward to the chance to learn more about each other.

Spilt ketchup - darn it!

As a kid, I was always inclined to dump ketchup on any food item in front of me. The food could be hot dogs, french fries, hamburger and eggs, or more. If it was edible, it was meant to be drowned in ketchup.

We all know that the first thing one does, before pouring, with a ketchup bottle is to firmly shake it to make sure that all the ingredients are evenly distributed in the bottle before dumping it onto the food. One day at the dinner table I customarily shook the bottle and the ketchup flew out everywhere across the table.
