I think so many people are surprised that there is so much to do in Reno. Most people just associate gambling with the city, but there is so much more. I have been to Reno a few times on business and plan to return again soon. Hsa Atlas Travel… Continue

1) When it comes to social networking, there are only events. If what you're selling isn't an event, make it into one. 2) Interesting photos or videos tell more than your boring words ever will; not only do we want the info–dates, times, etc.–but we might pay attention if know what being there is going to 'feel' like. *Stylish examples of these will always get you more mileage. 3) Comments are your friend–ALWAYS. Inspire commenting. 4) Pretty girls make the world go 'round. 5) Repetition seals t… Continue

If there is any sure takeaway message for the week, it's this: Obama needs to understand once and for all time that the Republican party just isn't that into him. They don't want to play bipartisan any more than they want to date Fidel Castro. Well, perhaps we should excude Larry Craig from this. But, really, can Obama get over this? Any hope of gaining bipartisan support for the health care reform bills circulating through Congress lies only in guaranteeing the right wingnuts that the current… Continue

It's been a week of dreams deferred and dreams answered. I'm just grateful that I've got a great crop of heirloom tomatos coming along as it takes the sting out of the dreams deferred ... healthcare reform denied until at least September when Congress reconvenes. Here's the bottom line. They'd better damn well get it done by years' end, or it won't get done at all. I have my doubts, because I believe the summer recess from that 'special needs' school known as Congress, will give the finge wing… Continue

“I think the Republicans would like to see us fail.” Majority Leader, Steny Hoyer, D-Md. That's the latest in wisdom to leak out of the steamy backrooms of Congress, as the Democratic cousins fight amongst each other like sweaty, bored kids in the back of the family station wagon. They're missing the salient concept here of course ... yes, the Republicans would sure like to see a huge, resounding failure of any effort toward enacting a modern health insurance system. Don't think… Continue

This week's Wrap begins with some thoughts from the road ... as in bicycling along Reno's beautiful backroads, and highways. In as many weeks, I nearly bit the dust for a second time ... uh, asphalt, actually, as a car pulled out in front of me. I had turned from McCarran, south on Talbot Lane. I saw the older man in the big SUV sitting in the driveway of some commercial offices on the right, preparing to enter the street. As is my custom, I raised my hand in a friendly gesture, to indicate… Continue

Can we all let Michael Jackson rest in peace, and perhaps get a little peace ourselves from the biggest, wierdest funeral of the new century. You'd have thought Elvis, the pope and a brilliant, young new president had just died by all the media driven hoopla. I felt really sorry for his kids, being tearfully paraded on stage. That was obscene.

Nevada2010 Pope Benedict XVI calls for more international regulation of the U.S. economy

The results of a survey conducted by Rasmussen Reports finds that 59% of American adults believe international organizations like the United Nations should have less influence on U.S. economic policy, not more. This survey was conducted in response to Pope Benedict XVI’s call for more international regulation of the U.S. econo… Continue

This week ended on one of the cheeriest notes that I could imagine: Sarah Palin is resigning her post as governor of the state of Alaska. From what I've heard from erstwhile 'conservative' Alaskan friends, she won't be missed ('don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out...."). Alaska Governor Sarah Palin announces that she will step down from state's top post. "Once I decided not to run for re-election, I also felt that to embrace the conventional Lame Duck status in this par… Continue

Well, this week certainly tried its best to end on a down note ... so to speak, with the deaths of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. We are all diminished by their passing. Michael Jackson left a legacy of wonderful pop music that will live on for many years, despite the turmoil that was his personal life. We could use a lot more good pop music today. Farrah Fawcett leaves us a lesson: cancer must be diagnosed early. May they rest in peace. My longtime friend, who also lost his own wife to… Continue

What a hectic, but rather nice week actually. My boss told me today that I was the highlight of her day ... ontime and underbudget with a job. How cool is that? Monsieur Agbenou left for Africa on Tuesday, and arrived home safely, having successfully negotiated the airports enroute. I was a little concerned that getting on in Reno would be a problem when the agent looked at his passport and discovered that it only listed as year of birth, no day or month. I explained that in Africa, in 1945 suc… Continue

Well, it's been a hectic week between working a few more hours than I anticipated, having the entire outside of our house painted and then having to nip over to San Francisco to put in a Visa application at the Indian Counsulate bright and early on Friday morning. It's a long story. I'll explain another time. The house painting thing is interesting. As a designer and fine artist of some considerable experience, I'm not afraid to use color. It comes as almost second nature. But after the painter… Continue

Once again another week has flown by like an F-18 on afterburners up my 6 o'clock. For those of you who aren't aviation or military savvy, that means pretty damn fast. Between work ( and crazy hours that come with the territory of putting together a huge software startup ... hey, it's tomorrow in India ), entertaining Papa Agbenou from Benin, the usual cleaning, cooking and house repairs ( everything seemed to go on the fritz this week) it's been a forehead wiper. Monday morning dawned, and I… Continue

Okay, so I'm not exactly in front of the 'power curve' this week with my posts. That's just life. I'm immersed in an exciting but highly complex and huge project at work, plus I took a quick trip back over to Salt Lake City to visit a couple of old friends. Not real conducive to keeping a blog au courant. (Remember, I have two french speakers around the house right now.) The take away here: got to prioritize and live in the moment. I try too hard to be everything to everybody. My trip to Salt… Continue

The great turtle naming contest has really taken off - about like the turtle when he spots somebody heading toward the pond. So far, we have Romeo, Prince and Stretch. Two of which are from my faithful Libertarian commenter. Now, come on Progressives, Dems and Repubs - get in there and fight for bragging right and a Peet's Coffee & Tea gift card! The contest, which will be decided by the amateur judges, AKA family members, here at Maven House, ends at midnight, 31st of May. Natacha's father… Continue

Well this has been an interesting week. I'll start my weekend having a cardiac catheterization - getting a very small camera shoved through a slit in my femoral artery into my heart. That's why I got all my gardening done today - no lifting or exertion for a few days afterward. Thank heavens for cable, Kindle and Sudoku. Friday is National Bike to Work Day, and I'd participate but well.... Boredom in the hospital is always impossible, since they wake you up for a vital signs check and blood dra… Continue
