March 11, 2013 After reading Jeff Levack's movie review, in his weekly feature 'The Trailer Park,' I decided to go watch the film Oz. Sadly, I chose the same showing as every popcorn chomping, talking, texting, foot scuffling, candy un-wrapping man, woman and screaming child.
December 10, 2012 We 've been fighting all morning about the etiquette of wearing a hat at the dinner table and in other "formal" situations . I say it shows rudeness and a lack of respect. Sean doesn't totally disagree, he just wants to know WHY it's so important to have these old customs? I have a headache.
November 29, 2012 Do you tip at the holidays? I know there are many people who try to take care of the people in their lives who otherwise go unnoticed. Trash collectors, mail persons, babysitters all of these are people we couldn't do without all year and yet most of us barely even think about them.

February 2, 2012 Here is the daily dilemma for Thursday, February 2, 2012:
March 2, 2011 It really is a sign of the times. We watch TV in short segments. Always channel surfing. We "tweet" in very short sentences, leave very short abbreviated text messages, listen to short sound bytes on the news --and now this... the 5 minute talking rule!!
Just like many things in America, there is a time for everything. However, there are certain people who take it to a whole different level for the smallest thing.
February 7, 2011 Stardom. It can ruin a person. It can fuel a person’s ego to the point that they can’t relate to the common "Joe" or "Jane" like you and I.
A few weeks back, I wrote a blog about cardio machine etiquette and how it is not polite to stare at someone else while they work out. Many of you agreed with my fustration -- some also knew exactly what I had experienced, having experienced it themselves.
I now write to you about something else at the gym -- something that affects not only the guilty party, but the innocent bystanders. Everyone who works out should be aware of gym smells and what they mean.
The past two days I have tried to be very disciplined in forcing myself to go to the gym. Afterall, after the snowfall comes Spring; after Spring comes summer -- must prepare. However, of those two gym days, I have gotten on the same cardio machine, by pure coincidence, while the same fellow gym goer jumped on the cardio machine to my right, at the end of the row. How does that happen?
December 19, 2010 The holiday season is here again – and so is the email invitation to the official office holiday party.
