Jackie Boy aka JB

A personal blog to share my life and career experiences with the people I love so much!.

I have been married for 44 years to my soul mate and BFF Jean and have been blessed with three great kids in Tarah, Katie, and Patrick and two granddaughters named Rory and Irene and a grandson named Redding. I love dogs and especially my current mate Cali who brightens my day by her presence. I love to run, walk, bike, and swim and enjoy cooking meals and conversation with family and close friends. I love movies and have an obsession for cars both new (I used to be a famous auto analyst) and old (I own two 1975 BMW 2002's and used to own a 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang convertible). My blog reflects a lifetime of experience as a son, a brother, a husband, a Dad and the varied roles I've taken on in in the world of business, academia, and as an active participant in my local parish community and Diocese.

Charlottesville, Hurricane Harvey, and Why I Still Believe in the Age of Aquarius

Despite the troubles and challenges of our times, I still believe in the Age of Aquarius and that if one looks long enough, you can find all the light we cannot see. Sunshine is stronger than any darkness that may pervade our path and that light is everywhere around us, in our people, our communities, and in our everyday lives.
