If money is no object and you can travel anywhere… What is your list of top 10 locations?
Be Careful What You Wish For
Is it love? Is it money? Is it just a day or two to yourself? Is it something harder to generalize, impossible to articulate, or too private to admit to? Do you have a foolish little dream – or a glitzy big one – something from childhood – shelved and dusted off, shelved again, only […]
Women on Top?
What’s your position? Women on top? A little variation and taking turns, or better yet – anything goes as long as the fit feels appropriate? Ah, but it isn’t so straightforward if you find yourself stuck in the middle – of middle management, that is. Especially if you’re trying to wriggle your way out, then […]
If you feel it, is it real?
Men and women. We’re so different. Women and women – biologically less so, yet in terms of character, nature, personality – I believe our differences are as broad and deep as those that separate the genders. I was looking over my musing of a few months back on the topic of what makes men tick. […]
Stranger Than Fiction
You know what they say. Truth is stranger than fiction. Reading about the devil ball at the Master’s tournament, I certainly thought so. (New sort of lap dance? I suppose the condom dress qualifies as well.) As I reflect on a few recent events (none I care to share at the moment), I flash. A […]
Data Data Everywhere, If We Hear It – Should We Care?
Ah, the delights of data. Numbers transformed into trends, figures forwarded along into carefully constructed quasi-truths, and their inaccurate or incomplete essence, affirming our opinions, substantiating our deepest fears, undermining our confidence in… oh, just about anything. Does anyone use common sense anymore? Data data everywhere, if we hear it – should we care? I […]
Don’t Judge a Book By Its Cover
You know the old adage – Don’t judge a book by its cover. In other words, we shouldn’t judge by appearances, though we know that first impressions count, that the public face is important to success in many areas, that social conventions serve their purpose. But is anyone ever who you think they are? Haven’t […]
Tipping the Scales
Are you impetuous when it comes to decision-making, or do you weigh all the factors and carefully consider consequences? As my son and I reflect on his college choices, I ask myself to what extent I might influence his decision-making. All things being equal – financially – would I leave the choice up to him? […]
Secret Single Behavior (Even If You’re Married)
Who doesn’t remember the Sex and the City episode in which the girls talk about their secret single behavior? What woman – or man for that matter – doesn’t have their little set of private habits and rituals they’d rather not divulge? Tantalizing rewards for your psyche? Hidden haunts for an indulgence or two? Come […]
Realizations
It’s really happening. It’s really happening. I say it over and over. In my head. In disbelief. And I say this, as I have lived it: Opportunity comes to those who work. I’m tired. I’m distracted. The chair is large and my feet are dangling which is annoying. I want to laugh at the same […]
