Tales from the Red Couch
The "red couch" in my title comes from an actual piece of furniture that took up more space than my office at one of my jobs allowed. I said for years while in that position that I would write a book entitled "Tales from the Red Couch." I shared this prediction with my staff. I called my staff, the "red couch crew." In retrospect, they were the finest people I ever met while locked inside corporate walls. I could expound on my tribulations related to the entire corporate experience, but I trust many of you know full well about such things now. My dedication and allegiance in the end added up to nothing more than an exit not worth talking about. This collection is dedicated to Bill Gundermann, an individual who has over the years become a dear and trusted friend. This book in part represents our friendship and marks his 80th birthday with a celebration for living life to the fullest.
