Mother Nature is Shylocking Spring.

  The Business of Life is sick of winter… where the HELL is Spring? I about to go all postal on Spring. In fact, I’m starting to see Spring as holding out.  Making me pay.  Like a shylock.  Like John Travolta’s character, Chili Palmer in “Get Shorty”. One day the crocuses arrive. HOORAY! Then a [...

Facetime – LeBetsy Rant.

The Business of Life is sometimes about … the minuses that go with the pluses of life. My friend Kate once said she wanted to be like Mariah Carey– it’s rumored she has her own personal “lighting crew” to make sure that she always looks her best.  Wherever she goes.  Ladies, we all know what [...]

Japan’s 地震、魚は約大敗 (earthquake, the fish thrashed about)

The Business of Life mourns with, and for, the people of Japan. I was once the reluctant exchange student.  To Japan. I wanted to go to Germany.  At sixteen, the prospect of drinking beer openly and freely on a boondoggle of a summer excursion was, needless to say, tempting.  But that particular sum

Dear Tom Brady’s Pony, Time To Go…

The Business of Life is saying… WTF? Ever since Giselle came into the picture Tom Brady has been on the slippery slope to being… this.  The pony-tail wearing dude.  SBnation.com blogger Spencer Hall tweeted  – and this is the best one thus far – “Tom Brady with a ponytail is two agelines and going c

Daniel Craig’s 007 for WeAreEquals/Int’l Women’s Day (LeBetsy cool cause)

  The Business of Life is… fighting the good fight. This time it’s about Annie Lennox (Oh heavenly 80s-90′s rock star) and her cause WeAreEquals, celebrating International Women’s Day, March 8th. It’s about righting the equation between women and men. Equal pay for equal work, the right for women to

Good or Lucky…

The Business of Life ponders the age-old question… are you good or lucky? I once had a curmudgeonly Business school professor that barked the question, often, “Soooo… are you good or just lucky?” Usually to me.  And I think I was quite often the latter.  (I know false modesty, but it felt appropriat

Dipping the Toes…

Sometimes The Business of Life is… getting back to “normal.” Just a quick post. Nothing much to report. Actually, I lie — there is a lot — just not much in me to report it. When we returned from California after the funeral, everyone was ill.  Everyone. Actually most were ill the entire time and [..

Good-Bye Dr. Mac. The Send-off.

The Business of Life is sometimes saying good-bye… until later. And for Heaven’s sakes… do it in style. This Friday I say good-bye to my father.  Bag-pipes, a no-black policy are a part of the send-off worthy of a man that loved life, cherished the written word and the exchange of ideas. He also lik

The.Best.Super.Bowl.Car.Commerical.Ever. (if not best period.)

+ = SUPER-AWESOME CAR-MERCIAL! The Business of Life loves Super-Bowl Commercials. Loves them. (Did I say love them?)  Loves them! I love Super-Bowl Sunday (yes, you freakin’ jerks TM’d the phrase “Super Bowl” but noticed I’m talking about the day not the… umm, “Big Game.”) Oh, honesty time: What I l

Hospice. “Live Through This.”

The Business of Life… is saying good-bye. A few days ago the decision was made for my father to go home.  To die. I am going to California, as soon as weather allows, to be with him. I can think of no tougher time than now. I can think of no more heartbreaking moment than [...]
