I feel like I must utter the phrase “what’s this” over 100 times a day. First off, I have to say that quite often to my son. He was recently very eager to show me a drawing he had made. I looked at it and then had […]
I am sitting in the so-called quiet zone in the American Airlines lounge. I don’t sit there because I have a dire need for quiet. I can readily work with a ton of noise around me. As a matter of fact when I am working from home, […]
