The CRU's Review. In October of 2010 I told myself that I couldn't do it all and I wouldn't do it all without some great pieces and people around me. Little did I know at the time that I was mentally setting myself up for something much bigger than I had anticipated.

In 1994 my high school football team was put out of the first round of the playoffs for the first time in a decade. We where 11-1. The following day I was interviewed by a local reporter and I told him that we were going to win the state championship in basketball as a redeemer. He laughed. I didn't. In the spring of 1995, the state of North Carolina's high school athletic commission crowned my teammates and I Class-3A state champions. We were also the first team to win a state title in basketball at my high school. The same feeling that I had then is the same one that I have now. I was sure and confident that I was in the right circle.

A friend of mine recommended that I read a book called, The HP Way. I started reading it yesterday and I haven't put it down yet. It's showing me that the core of success for most great companies are built on the original relationships. All of which have to be battle tested in order to know whether they're worth keeping.

So to the CRU I'm looking forward to adding more hardware to my trophy case.

The Measure of a Man.........

the details are below the photos it's a must read story for the men.... The title of this blog maybe familiar to some, it's that of the autobiography of actor Sidney Poitier.  When you mention his name the words courage, great, intelligent, daring, brilliant and faithful may come to mind.  I've got a new name that replaces those words, Von Johnson.   My friend. My brother.  My cousin.  My new HERO. How and what does that have to do with the title? Yesterday, I observed what it means to live the final portion of your wedding vows,  "till death do us part"...... I can't even put it into words how I felt yesterday.  The only word that comes close is "helpless".   It was one of the rare moments in life where you want to take someone else's pain and throw it down the river and start fresh. I learned what the measure of a man is all about.   Can you live on life's edge and handle all it dishes out?  Can you stand in the toughest moments of opposit...

A Day At Gus's

A Day At Gus's It's not everyday that we get to experience great food let alone a great atmosphere to eat in. I'm a southern guy so you know I like good food and even better service.  Gus's is that spot for me. I frequently sit down with the owner Gus and he doesn't hold back on his views of the world or on how to run a successful small business.  Following our last conversation I decided to return the favor by grabbing a few still photos of the original Gus's location.  It will be torn down soon.  Gus is being rewarded with a new location in 2008 for a job well done for 27 years of great service.  www.gusspizza.com

The Money Shot

The "Money Shot". It's not the type of shot where you look to get paid. It's the one that tells the largest story with the least amount of words. Today as I drove through Pen Lucy park, I saw this homeless lady at the stop light. I've driven through here daily for years and today was the first time I'd ever seen this lady. She was as worn as the soles of her shoes. She appeared to have the conscious mind of a 6 year old child. I only had about 20 seconds to capture the moment. It tends to be that way driving through the district where most of the show " The Wire " was filmed. Needless to say I was able to salvage what I referred to above as, " The Money Shot". After countless hours of studying the late great visual artist, Gordon Parks life stills, I've come to the conclusion that life stills are and should be timeless. They hold the frailties of life tight enough to crush them and soft enough to doctor them back to maximum h...
