After spending a day in Chicago to celebrate my daughter's sixth birthday I again was reminded at how crappy Detroit is as a city to visit. Chicago is on the water...like Detroit. But - somehow Detroit looks like a war zone with boarded up buildings and Chicago is a family friendly fun place that for the most part is clean. Bummer for us who love Detroit sports... Going into the city is an in and out venture.

How much pre-thought do we miss for the sake of immediate gain?

The pain of doing the right thing... the costly thing... the thing that has a big pay off long term... may often look like the wrong thing in the moment compared to the quick fix of success.

Stay on target,
