I have a lot of pet peeves, certainly more than are necessary. Some may merit their own individual blog post. I very well may accidentally insult a reader here or there. But in the interest of full disclosure, and in … Continue reading

When I was a kid, I was scared of just about everything. When I was at that party a couple of weeks ago someone started talking about the old days in Atlantic City. When AC was still a nice beach … Continue reading

I will admit that one of my guilty pleasures is eavesdropping in restaurants. When Dan and I go out to dinner, I have to shush him sometimes to listen in on a neighboring table. It’s not the nicest thing in … Continue reading

I have always been fascinated by the buzz words that fuel business. Recently I was speaking with someone about a new process and she jokingly suggested we “storyboard” it. I love that expression, and the concept, because we can take … Continue reading
