Conversations
This is something I have wanted for a long time. A place where we can talk to each other.
It began as a place to ask questions about MasterLube, like “Why don’t you use coupons?” and “What’s your training program about?” but it quickly grew to include more interesting subjects.
We will have conversations with Rod Davidson, Terry Palm, Cali Freier, and Abby Martinsen; followed by other cool people like Russ Cherry, Elizabeth Klarich, Craig Godfrey, Rick Robinson, and perhaps an occasional international personage.
Like friends at a dinner party, there will be several conversations going on at the same time. And like any good party, there will be some people you know better than others, but by the end of the evening…
Like any good conversation, there will be a place where you can respond, keep the conversation going, or change the subject if you choose.
So welcome to the party! Join in. It won’t be much of a conversation without you!

PS. If you still want to talk about MasterLube, we can do that as well.

The rise of national socialism: Why Austria’s revolution is not over
It’s been highly amusing to watch the international press struggle to describe Norbert Hofer, the candidate who has just lost, by a tiny handful of votes, the Austrian presidential election. Hofer bitterly opposes immigration and uses nostalgic language about “pan-German” culture, views which place him in the “far-right” category of European politics.
