James Donaldson Book Review: A Terrible Glory by James Donovan ****

James Donaldson Book: A Terrible Glory by James Donovan ****

I’m not typically a fan of “shoot ‘em up westerns” (because they can be so predictable), but I found this book fascinating as it kept my attention throughout and felt as if “I was actually there” at Little Bighorn myself.

 

The author did a wonderful job in conveying what Custer and his men must have been going through, yet portrayed the victors in this battle… not as savages (as they’re depicted way too often), but as thoughtful, strategic, intelligent men who won a battle.. fair and square.

 

A really good read for those who appreciate history, yet like the truth to be told as much as possible about both sides of the coin.

 

 

Monday Morning Mentoring

What a great way to start my week! I met with one of my dear friends and mentors, George Toles, here in Seattle on a gorgeous, beautiful Monday morning.

George keeps me on the "straight and narrow" with his mentoring and leadership in the "His Deal" www.hisdeal.org men's group that he leads in downtown Seattle.

Have an awesome day everyone, and find a great mentor like George Toles!

Golf Anyone?

I'm not a big time golfer by any means, but I did have a great time playing golf in Beijing recently. Here I am with my lovely caddie! (Smile!)  She can almost fit in my golf bag! 

Former Dallas Mavericks Center Comments on the Latest Dallas Maverick "Center of Attention" Article - August 2012

Every couple of years, the Dallas Mavericks go on another search for a true center... and, yours truly comes to the forefront. (smile!)

We had great teams and I had the chance to play with (and against) some of the greatest players "back in the day" that the game has ever known!

Chinese Women go to great lengths to protect their delicate skin article

I just returned from China last week and you see this everywhere you go.  I even saw some women on the airplane on my flight over and back to China, wearing their facemasks.  I've been frightened and shocked a few times already (smile!). 

 

I do love the beautiful parasols and stylish looks that so many of the ladies wear this time of year!

Chinese Women go to great lengths to protect their delicate skin - http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2018844276_sunmasks04.html

This article is so true, especially now that it's summer in China.  I just returned from one of my many visits to China last week, and even on the airplane, some women were wearing their face masks.  

I have to admit though, I do l love the the beautiful parasols and the stylish look that so many of the women have just about everywhere you go in China during this time of year.
