Brexit – The Morning After the Night Before…

We now know what the eye of a storm feels like… Cameron resigns and will be gone in October; Sterling fell 10 % and is slowly picking itself up off the canvas; UK is still in Europe but may not be in the EU in due course. The UK may in the future no longer be the United Kingdom and there are calls for another Scottish independence referendum and a movement to unite Ireland and Northern Ireland under the Good Friday agreement. What does this all mean? What happens next?

  • My Five Favorite Books: John M. Farrell (Corporate Counsel at Keurig Dr Pepper) - Did you know reading is a competitive sport? I did not either. That is, not until 4th grade when Ms. Duncan told the class that we were required to turn in book reports for at least 12 different books off the reading list. She informed us that we could read as many as we wanted. The record was something like 27. Wait…what? She keeps track of the record?!? Well, time to reset it at an unattainably high mark…I did 98.

    Unfortunately, these days I read far more about paid sick leave requirements, disability accommodations, and overtime exemptions written by authors with very little flare for the intelligible (much less the dramatic). It is far less interesting but, hey, at least it pays more. Without further ado – here are five books that I just love.
