I recently held an upper management retreat where I did a silly exercise of what five things each group would want with them if stranded on a remote island. If you had to experience Gilligan’s Island, what would you want besides ear buds so as to not have […]
Since I got back from South Africa, I have been laid up due to a torn knee muscle. Sometimes, I just have really bad luck. I just suck it up and keep going. I keep going to work. I had to keep finding a way to get […]
When I was a kid, I actually was not a big fan of summertime. I was a nerd. I liked going to school and thus missed the classroom. There was no local swimming pool to cool down in my area of the South Bronx. We had our […]
Let me just state from the outset I love the television show The Gilmore Girls. I am ecstatic that we get four more episodes come this fall and that we finally get to find out what were the intended final four words. If you understood that sentence […]

I am not a huge Ramones fan by any stretch of the imagination. I do not believe I even have one song of theirs on my iPod. They were a punk band before my my time really. And as a South Bronx girl I was not that […]
