Working Away For the Day......

It has been a busy morning around #outsiders.   It has been a pleasure as the team has been busy with the daily twitter updates and finished off the latest "updates" throughout the #outsider properties--including the latest on the #IranDeal.

I went out to   Huntington Beach yesterday and had the pleasure to meet with Congressman Rohrabacher.  He was gracious enough to spend almost 40 minutes with me on the Iran Deal.     We reflected upon the horrors of the Middle East today and he was gracious enough to share his reflections of his visit to Palmyra as the World is witness to the continued carnage of the Daesh Gang (referred to as IS/ISIL In the West)  in Syria and Iraq.          

Although he is opposed to the deal, I was ever so gratified as he underscored how an attack with Iran will be a profound mistake.      As a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, his voice matters and I was gratified to hear it.

I was awe struck as I left his office with this image of Ronald Reagan which I wanted to share here: 

It is also a strength of America that Ronald Reagan reminded the World of:

Working Away On this First Day of September....

It is September 1. 

It has been a rather distressing morning as I worked on supporting the daily curation of Outsiders on this first day and start thinking about the roadmap ahead as Q4 and the formal one year anniversary is upon us.     As the morning editorial run was done, I ran across this which stuck with me ever more which reminded me of the great Diane Nyad's admonition: Onward!!

As August 2015 is History: Brief Thoughts......

It has been an interesting and busy morning and a busy month for Outsiders as our team has been busy w/the "Daily Roundup" over The Social Grid.    One key thing I have tried to do has been to support a worthwhile cause sponsored by Johnson & Johnson.   Their "Donate a Photo" initiative has embraced a number of key charities and I have been so honored to have done my small part to do my "Good Turn Daily" in the best tradition of Scouting.    I had the pleasure to share the latest earlier today also noted on my Personal Twitter Feed:

Not forgetting my good turn on this new week and wishing all a fab week. Thank u #jnj #donateaphoto… https://t.co/jw6039iRcl

For every picture donated, $ 1 is donated to the supported charities.  Over the last 3 months, I have contributed over 100 images and I am ever so grateful for it.

The team is working "fast and furious" gearing up for September here in #Outsiders and I look forward to supporting the on-going development work.
