When most people talk about genius, they refer to a superior intellectual capacity. Geniuses are the product of quirkiness, isolation, misunderstanding, and sheer creative abandon.

Read MoreWell, here we are. We've got a nice (and ugly) look at the bigger picture, both economically, and geopolitically.

Read MoreUntil recently, I did not consider myself to be a religious man. Religion for me was a blight on my spiritual development. As the special lady in my life, Erika, has pushed me to see things from a fresh perspective (firmly but gently), I feel very differently about this now. Erika convinced me to attend a retreat this past weekend, against much of...
