The New York Post has this delightful article about a couple who uses their will to impart some final vengeance. The great thing about this article is the wealth of practical information you receive about the legal process. First, it is truly tragic that more people don’t take an opportunity to create their wills, as… Continue Reading

GM Recall
General Motors is recalling nearly 1.5 million vehicles because of a defect that could cause the oil to leak into to the engine and cause a fire.
The Triple-A of Business Success
Small business owners and entrepreneurs are a different breed. Inside each small business owner is a young adventurer, who waits to discover and risks it all to get there. I love the idea, and that's partly why I like to assist small businesses. I believe there are three keys to helping your business grow. I call… Continue Reading
Surprising Statistics
Here’s two surprising/not-so-surprising statistics about home ownership in Oklahoma: Oklahoma is the 4th most expensive state for home closing costs; Oklahoma is the 3rd most expensive state to insure a home. The 2nd statistic isn’t that surprising, we’re in "Tornado Alley." However, despite the surprisingly low home prices, Oklahoma only trails New York, Texas and… Continue Reading
Become a “Fat Pig”
There's an old saying that goes, "pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered." I guess (because I've never been a pig farmer/owner, but I do enjoy their meat) the idea is that pigs can wallow their lives away, while a hog who is greedy, becomes fat, and soon becomes the bacon next to my eggs and… Continue Reading

A Little About University Textbooks
Here's something interesting from the Balkinization blog that passed my comment regarding college and university textbooks. Apparently, and now you'll see my ignorance in this category, a new federal law requires all colleges and universities that receive federal funding (which pretty much includes every institution) to provide students with information about the costs of their textbooks. As the… Continue Reading
When Dogs Attack
Dog bites and attacks in Oklahoma are common. If you’re a dog owner, you need to control your animal.
Today’s Dilbert – True?
One of my favorite comics to read is the daily Dilbert comic, written by Scott Adams. Today's Dilbert is, in my opinion, one of the best yet. I think this comic accurately plays on the fears of most employees, and "anonymous" surveys. I hope your company isn't anywhere close to this, and if you are,… Continue Reading
