Simple-ology

Mark Joyner is one of the Guru’s of on-line marketing. For me, one thing that makes Mark interesting is that he does his own thing and lives his life the way he sees fit, whereas many of the U.S. based Internet marketing experts require the approval of the other Guru’s, so in the end you […]

Myrtle Beach

Burle Marx

Burle Marx

My good friends from Miami own and operate a successful landscape business, they impressed upon me the beauty of landscape as an “art-form”, and then introduced me to the work of a Brazilian legend. Burle Marx, as he’s known, was the greatest thing to ever happen to plants in Brazil. He’s internationally known as one […]
