Freemason Information
Freemasonry is a post-collegiate mostly-all male fraternity dedicated to the social development of the member to form a broader sense of the self and their community.
It goes well beyond insanity. One of my favorite quotes from Albert Einstein is his definition of insanity: “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” I’m afraid we see this too often, be it in companies, government or the general public. In other words, there is a tendency for people to maintain […]
Is fairness in the eye of the beholder?BRYCE ON MORALITY Good question. This is something we all demand but I don’t think we really know what fair is; to illustrate: In this country we have established an extensive system of jurisprudence involving lawyers, judges, juries, appeals, etc. Yet, when a decision is finally reached, we claim […]
It’s not exactly “rocket science” but some people still don’t know how to do it. Recently I was adding up the number of Board of Directors I have served on over the years for nonprofit organizations.

BRYCE ON LIFESome people have to learn the hard way. I had a situation where I was working with a young Systems Analyst who was ambitious but a bit naive as to the field of information systems. Nonetheless he wanted to boldly tackle a major systems project for his company and asked me for advice. […]
BRYCE ON LIFEDo we use this as an opportunity to reason and discuss? During this past Thanksgiving holiday, we were admonished by several talking heads on television not to discuss politics at the dinner table in order to maintain peace and harmony. I vehemently disagree as I see this as more political correctness running amok. […]
BRYCE ON LIFE– Do we make too much out of them? I have always been fascinated with our use of suffixes in names, such as “Senior” or “Junior.” I look upon the use of such monikers as a desperate cry for attention. Years ago I had a friend who put “Senior” after his name on […]
BRYCE ON MANAGEMENT– “The longer you delay admitting a mistake, the more expensive it will be to correct.” – Bryce’s Law Nobody likes to admit making a mistake.
