Free stuff

Last week on my drive to work I was listening to the morning radio hosts lament about the trends in their neighborhoods to set out your unwanted treasures and mark them as “free” to whomever chooses to give them a new home. They claimed it’s a growing phenomenon that’s trumping yard sales, which tak

Am I smarter than a second grader? Well, it depends.

Every day I’m amazed by the wisdom of my eight-year-old. As her teacher says, “she’s a smart cookie,” and not much goes by her. You’d think after eight years I’d remember my verbal filter around her, knowing that fact. But, oh no, not me. I know that if I plant a seed in her head, [...]

My brain still works

It turns out that while middle age may signal the desire to buy sports cars, lead to the exhibition of some uncharacteristic behaviors and even result in you forgetting your child’s name in the heat of delivering your most powerful reprimand, it doesn’t signal that your brain has experienced its bes

Sage advice: Don’t judge a book by its cover

Lin Yu Chun in his bow tie and bowl cut hairstyle isn’t exactly the image that comes to mind of one who can belt out Whitney Houston’s I Will Always Love You. It’s a little freakish to watch this Taiwanese 20-something sing Whitney better than Whitney can today. I do better listening to him. It’s [.

Has casual day moved beyond Khakis?

Since tomorrow is “casual Friday” it seems only fitting that I make it the focus of today’s blog post.  And, what got me thinking about the whole comfortable approach to mark the week’s end was my daughter  telling me about last week’s art project and how one of the moms always wears sweats and tenn

Please Tiger, don’t preempt the Olympics

Tiger, I guess I get it to some degree. After three months you really want to come out of seclusion and try to piece your life back together. News Flash – I’m not all that sure it’s possible. But, thankfully a lot of money makes things better, so I’m told. But, here’s the deal, Tiger. [...]

Since I’ve been gone…

Well folks, I’m not sure if there are many of you left out there. I became a bit discouraged about a month ago when my daily numbers that hovered almost at a hundred a day plummeted to about five. In the middle of a new job, and feeling overwhelmed and overtired, I figured I would [...]

Profile of a holiday shopper

If you’re a people watcher, there’s no finer time than the holiday. Every year I scratch my head in wonderment as to where many of these folks migrate to the remaining 361 weeks of the year. Look ma, me and thousands of my closest friends out for a fun day of holiday shopping? Don’t get [...]

Please come back

I’ll admit; I’m way behind on posting to this blog. But, it’s been a little busy. First, there was wrapping up the old job. I always think it’s going to be so quick and easy to wind down and walk out the door. Maybe it’s me, but I always feel compelled to work up to [...]

Who’s that knocking on our door?

There are many things you shouldn’t sell door-to-door. Two that come quickly to mind are vacuum cleaners and religion. I’m not so sure if anyone sells vacuum cleaners out of their trunk these days. My guess is there’s no market for it. That niche has been gobbled up by big box stores, the internet a
