Call me crazy but a well-crafted electronic filing system is a beautiful sight to behold. To many, electronic files and folders can be much like wildflowers on a walk through the countryside. Files and folders, like wildflowers, sprout up in the darnedest places.
Some folks not only like to get outdoors, they like to get up in the clouds in a hot-air balloon. The 5th Dimension in 1967’s “Up, Up and Away” said the world’s “a nicer place” up there. Ballooning originated in France in the 1780s and has grown in popularity ever since.

Ranging from two-person partnerships to Fortune 500 companies, family businesses account for half the nation’s employment and half of the Gross National Product.
Did you know that there are six different types of kayaks (depending upon who you ask)? Many might say, a kayak is a kayak, but to someone who is kayaking, the type of boat can make a big difference on the pleasure and ultimately, the success of the experience.
