Painting, Art, consciousness, professionalism, etc.  I was honored and delighted to speak with Brian Rutenberg. He's collected the low-country humidity and marshlands, and blended them with his New York city work ethic and charisma.

A short talk on the dark side, and benefits of staying on the lighted path. 

Fitness is an interesting word with a lot of meanings...I try to define some of them here.  

Some thoughts surrounding parenting that I wrote down...and then spoke into a microphone.  Hope you enjoy...and hope you realize that this is just one man's thoughts, understanding that you may have your own way...a better way.  All the best.
