We just got through the third week of January. Most of our colleagues are back from their vacations facing a world of backlogged work, new unrealistic year-long agendas and still uncertain economic times. It’s enough to make anyone batty and perhaps a little socially awkward. This week’s wacky […]
If you hear a woman screaming for help in the middle of the night, more than likely you are going to help. Or so you believe. However, Kitty Genovese screamed and screamed decades ago, many in the neighborhood looked out their windows, and no one helped out. She […]
What will you remember 2013 by? Obviously many will think of Miley Cyrus and her odd twerking revolution. Others will think of the National Security Agency (NSA) and how naive we were to think that they weren’t checking our phone logs. Others will remember the terror of the […]
Unbelievably fast. That is how I would describe the start to this new year of 2014. We are at the mid-point of January already. Here in the United States we have a long weekend, with the observance of Martin Luther King (MLK), Jr Day. Many years ago, not […]

Forget that 35.7% of Americans are considered obese and if you add those that are considered overweight the percentage rises to 69.2%. This isn’t about that. Hell, I’m completely within the lower end of my acceptable BMI range and a California female doctor told me I was fat […]
We are now 11 days into the New Year. Can I sheepishly ask, how many New Years resolutions have you already cast aside? I made none. So, I am batting 100% in terms of resolutions kept. The Golden Globes are being broadcast tomorrow night and I am extremely […]
