Yesterday we picked up our new sled. It’s a 2021 Mercedes GLE 350. It is an iridescent deep metallic green color. Depending on the sun angle and the sky conditions it can appear anywhere from almost black to a deep,…

I built a couple of legal teams during my career. In both instances the legal teams I recruited and trained were for the national offices in a developing or third world country. Local laws and company policy required that the…
