I have to state from the outset that I do not drive. Never have. I’m a New Yorker. In my past NYC offices, about only 25% had a car. When we had a car, the cheapest parking lot we could find was literally 50 blocks north. But it […]
Have you ever seen the television show Search Party. It is quite bizarre with horribly self-absorbed characters who keep you sucked in. I both recommend and not recommend that television show. Sometimes, I feel like I am conducting my own life’s search party. But that is a story […]
