Why did I choose the web address, www.response39.TownHall.com and the blog title? For those who are curious or can't stand not knowing, here's the background on the web title.
Several years ago, I was involved in a large study of one part of US Defense community programs. This study, scheduled to take no more than 6 months, of course took a full year to complete. The team was 25-30 mid-level and senior-level government personnel, military officers and a couple of contractors. We worked 12 to 14-hour days for the entire time. Needless to say, we became a family. We also got tired of saying the same words over and over again - to the point that we finally started using numbers for our standard resonses. My contribution was, "What the heck were we thinking!?" It was response number 39, of course! I've adapted that phrase to the title of this blog.
And now you know!
I hope you enjoy this as much as I will.
