Must admit, this was a new one.  In the midst of following up on the status of "short sale" I have in progress, I was informed by the bank that they were still waiting for some "internal documentation".  Hmmm...I wondered.  Didn't they feel they had enough by now?  After all, I'd sent them 167 PA...

Many of us are paying a lot more attention to the details lately, and in an effort to reduce some of my expenses I modified my cell phone plan last month.  Today I received an email that my bill was available online so I logged into my account, excited to see how much my bill (normally about $120...

Last night I was watching Larry King Live, a rerun he'd done around the Thanksgiving holiday, interviewing celebrities about their "heros".  The focus most definitely was on the TRUE heros...people who make their mission in life to better in ways large and small the lives of others.
