I Can’t Hear You
Friday, May 11th, 2012
I have often wondered why I’ve never made it into the executive levels of the companies I’ve worked for. But I know now; it’s how much I talk. Yes. I don’t talk enough. (more…)

Bald guys. You gotta love them. I mean, at least you have to love them more than someone with a comb-over. Or a rug. How about those guys who insist on always wearing a hat, as though we don’t know they’re fallow ground on the top?

Control Freak
Saturday, April 28th, 2012

Hell, my 91 year old mother goes online to email and play Scrabble. But whether or not you’re comfortable with technology, we all have to deal with everyone else . . . who is.
