My company is generous in that if you work on a weekend, you get to take a day off. Today I am off on my very first “Rest Day”. Of course, though, if you’re a woman, a day of rest is something mystical, like a unicorn. You may have thought…

Would The Queen Choose To Be The Queen If Given A Choice?
Rainy Sunday on the outside but a bevy of activity on the inside. I was in the UK last week for my job and today I am putting my luggage away and catching up on everything else at home, hopefully, including my sleep. I apologize for the gap in writing;…
