    I am oddly reminded of one of my all-time favorite quotes from a client: an elegant, elderly, well-dressed woman driving a nice car who once said to me, "Honey, if there are two things I know, it's roses and dynamite." I would love to read her autobiography.))

    "Technology I wish I had earlier in my career" is a line I heard often before I left my old firm. They were bankrupt within a year of my departure. If one does not embrace the changes of the industry, one gets left behind.
