DO YOU WANT TO EARN A LOT OF MONEY? I like to write about issues that affect young people as well as folks who are further along in their careers. Much of what concerns me is helping people figure out how to make a living and survive in the world. I wrote a book about […]
Have we gone too far with personal responsibility? I don’t think so but wonder if the concept works against us sometimes? I’m talking about asking for help when we have a problem. I posted a piece on “The King’s Speech” movie a few months ago marveling that the King of England actually asked for help […]
EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK! That issue seems to never die. Maybe it shouldn’t. I admit I have an interest in the issue as I have two daughters and this seems to be a women’s issue. I want them to have opportunities. I also admit that when I started my career in the 70’s that […]
Facebook is a big story in the news now. It had a stupendous initial offering that made many people very rich, but the stock hasn’t done well and people are calling foul. I don’t claim to understand all that happened, but listening to CNN just now think the issue is the dissemination of […]

It is a very clever presentation showing how “Julia” progressed through her life very well, with seemingly little stress because of government programs that helped her along the way. I admit, it is a very compelling case that they make for more entitlements. And the […]
WORK!! WHY DO WE HATE IT SO MUCH? I think that at some point in our lives many of us have wished we didn’t have to work. I know I have, mostly on specific days when I wanted to do something else. But I would claim that I have enjoyed every job I ever had […]
I confess i used to be very apathetic about politics and world affairs. Even in the Viet Nam years I barely knew what was going on and it followed me for many years as i was focusing on my career and family. Now that i have more time along with cable news and the internet […]
