Month: November 2012

Many very good things have been happening lately–the result of a great deal of very hard work–to me and, by extension, the business, and I realized that a lot of the good things were the direct result of how I was raised. I was extremely fortunate to be raised by parents who wanted me to…

Over the weekend, I saw Hitchcock http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/hitchcock/trailers/hitchcock-clip-psycho-31161776.html and while I thought it was interesting, I wouldn’t necessarily say you must rush out and see in the theaters…not when a small soda is $4.75.

You’ve eaten all that Halloween candy–and this Sunday is the NYC Marathon, despite apparently all the little people or “naysayers” who still don’t have power, and are trying to poop Hizzoner’s party with their lack of electricity, and food rotting in their fridge…details.–and the holidays are days away, which can mean fretting about family issues…
