I am at the New Jersey Shore with my Mom for Easter weekend. We come every year and it’s our way of saying goodbye to Winter (don’t let the door hit you on the way out) and hello to Spring. Being here is the first time in over 3 years…
The Home Of The Brave
Whenever I see a military person, I go up to them and thank them for their service and sacrifice. As you know, an airport is an opportunity to see many of our brave heroes. I always wonder if they’re headed home or in the other direction and I always hope…
The RAV4 Triangle
I am a very organized person. My house is organized, my office at work is organized. I don’t have a lot of stuff in my purse and I am extremely picky about my car and keeping it clean and clutter-free. Sometimes, I will admit, I lose things though and I…
Didn’t I Used To Type Up Your Marketing Plans 20 Years Ago?
On my flight home the other day from another business trip, I saw a manager of mine from 20+ years ago. I saw him as I was boarding — he was already in his seat — and we caught up once we landed as we walked to our cars. We…

Living The Dream

Steerage

Did You Really Just Say “Oops!”???
I have written several times about my dislike of USAir. Click HERE for my most recent posting. On April 4th I received the above email from them. It was entitled “They’re waiting in your account!”. Then on April 9th I received another email from them which they had the nerve…
When Bad Technology Happens To Good Geeks
Sunny, dry day in Pennsylvania after a week of clouds and rain. No work today — at least none that I have to drive to. Today is filled with wash and trying to put my house back together after a week of living in it. And fixing things that aren’t…
