Happy Halloween!
I absolutely love Halloween. It is my favorite holiday for many sound reasons: No family obligations whatsoever, no one has to cook (although admittedly in my family that’s always my sister-in-law Lisa anyway) No gift giving No traditions to follow … Continue reading

One Too Many…
Nothing is quite so interesting as a business function where alcohol is flowing like water (which has always been my experience). For some reason people repeatedly forget that they are at a business function and not a frat party, and … Continue reading
It’s a Little Corny
I know right now all the hype is about baseball and football, but those aren’t the only sports that dominate this country. Think about the rugged sport of Cornhole, for example. Last summer my friend was regaling me with a … Continue reading

My office is filled with toys and candy and magic wands and all kinds of fun stuff. Over the years I have found that when people come bursting into my office, typically with problems they created that I need to … Continue reading
If Only They’d Covered It All
Please note that this is NOT a post about a TV show. I do have to briefly reference Seinfeld, but it is completely justified. Seinfeld went out at its peak, but left a few topics unexplored. They covered a lot … Continue reading
Don’t Call Me, I’ll Call You
I answered my phone first thing this morning to the voice of a woman apologizing for calling but still wanting to talk but concerned because she tried to talk to one of my partners and he said she needed to … Continue reading
