Guest Blogger Time--Introducing David Russell

Hey all,
It's Tuesday again, so it is guest blogger time.  I hope to have these every other week for the coming future.
Today I have David Russell, who has been here on my blog before. I've known David professionally since the beginning of my career and it's very nice to have him on my blog again. 
He's an author, a poet and an artist.  I hope you enjoy what he has for us today.
David?  Tell us your thoughts...
