I couldn’t resist putting his latest post here in it’s entirety. ____________________________________ Here’s a simple MBA lesson: borrow money to buy things that go up in value.

The Globetrotters Were A Hit!

By Dwayne Hicks | May 4, 2010 |

I just got home from attending a community event here in Carrollton. The Harlem Globetrotters played a charity basketball game against some community leaders.  There were thousands in attendance.

I must confess that my neck is a little “red” when it comes to Sunday afternoon NASCAR racing.  The race at Talladega SuperSpeedway is not too far from my home.I love watching the races where the different teams much learn to work together and draft in order to be in a position to win the…

Let It Rain!!

By Dwayne Hicks | April 24, 2010 |

I woke up this morning to rain on my roof! I sometimes wish I wasn’t such a morning person and could lie in bed and listen longer. I must say as I sit here with the windows open, listening to the sweet sound of rain falling outside – this is a good start to what’s…

By Dwayne Hicks | April 24, 2010 |

I was having my tires rotated early this morning and since they weren’t busy, the owner and I had a general conversation about life. He spoke of how he used to have quite an inventory of used tires, but now he has very few used tires to sell because so many people are buying used…
