Maiden Voyages....

This is my maiden voyage into the blog-o-sphere.

So, if by some wild happenstance some one (1) of you read this - please be patient.

Just to set some background...

I am a Deputy Executive in the Chief Executive Office for a mid-sized California County - which is to say, a governmental entity that in many states would equal a majority share of that state's population. That doesn't really mean anything - just stating that the machine that I speak to is of a larger variety and rife with its own battles with culture, morays and idiosyncrasies...:)

I work primarily on Economic Development projects.

Mine is a very project driven assignment (which is a good thing because I have a very low threshold for bordom)

I live in a world of land use policy, business and industrial park developments, community technology strategies and outreach, facilities fees and incentive programs and even regional tourism initiatives.

I have (for too many years) been very fascinated with all things organizational theory - how things tick (and tock) in a large bureaucratic structure.

I will speak to my direct and indirect experiences periodically - and I do mean periodically.

I am passionate about my work, my family and my many artistic special interests so I will post irregularly - when the mood and the content provide themselves.

This is NOT a transparent attempt to seek business, market a new blanket with arms in it, or sell anyone or anything.  Just my own (hell, its free) cyber-space venting ground.

If you find my ramblings of any interest - or not, I would love to hear from you and to gain your perspective on all topics of life within the machine.

Best to you all.....here goes,
