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 […]
Hard work We hear a lot about hard work these days. How if we work hard we should be able to make a living. Or that something is wrong with the “system” if we don’t. I agree with the idea of hard work, but think we need to define it a bit: • Some hard work is […]
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 […]
This is another puzzler to me. Why does Obama and others think it is a travesty that some folks have two jobs? Or as they say, HAVE to have two jobs? I see a lot of people every day that have two jobs, I see some a couple of times a day at various places. When […]
I wrote this article several months ago. I recently talked with a friend who is refinancing under the mortgage plan that Obama set up to help folks with underwater mortgages. My friend is underwater by about $10,000. He is refinancing a 6% mortgage with a 3% mortgage and will have lower payments. I am […]
I’ve watched this movie 5-6 times, once in the theatre, 4 times on cable and once on a disc. It fascinates me. Why do i like it? • I like the history of the time • I like that the King had a stammer. It proves that anyone can have problems that can prevent them from being […]
