Living life to its fullest – without do-overs
Living life to its fullest – without do-overs
My column that appeared in this space a couple of weeks was, at least in my opinion, kind of deep. In it, I talked about being in or close to the golden years – the late fall or early winter of life as I called it – and how quickly time passes. 02/18/2022 12:00 AM

Does your business have an exit strategy?

He was not from a founding family of Texas. He was not a politician, a Texas Ranger, a lawyer nor a war hero. His career enterprise was located in Louisiana and New Hampshire was his birth state.” 02/15/2022 12:00 AM
