E-Z Networking in 3 Steps!

I tortured coached a client last night, making her present to me her networking pitch over and over and over again till I’m sure now she’s re-thinking her plan to transition her career…or at least to attempt to do so with me. But honestly, she was a trooper, with a great attitude…despite making me feel…

Yesterday we experienced the Oscars. Suddenly Ben Affleck is a talented thespian…instead of the co-star of a little debacle film entitled…Gigli http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0299930/ (memories…light the corners of my mind!), but anyhoo, life demands we move forward and here it is Monday again.

I’m writing this in my lair in Queens, as Superstorm Nemo (…so now, everything is “super” and everything has a name? This is a thing, now? I can only presume that Nemo already has a Tumblr account, and is on Twitter…why not, right?), prepares to lay waste to the tri-state area with snow…since, you know,…

“I had drunk much wine and afterward coffee and Strega and I explained, winefully, how we did not do the things we wanted to do; we never did such things.” – A Farewell to Arms, Hemingway I am, on the whole, a huge fan of Papa Hemingway—except, you know, when he’s being anti-Semitic, or misogynistic,…
