You know the story.  You're at a party or a networking event and someone says to you "So what do you do?"

I love this song!  A friend sent this to me over the weekend and I just LOVE it!  It's Called Christmas with a capital C!!!I hope every radio station in the country plays this a lot for the next six weeks. It's okay to say "Merry Christmas" and I for one, will not be giving it up.

I read a disturbing article this morning and all I could think was can this REALLY be happening in America? The fire department in Chester, PA has a rule that mandates all stickers and statements - union, cartoon and political - be stripped from lockers so as not to offend anyone.  On Friday, a s...

One of the best things I like about living in Tucson is the dramatic storms we get.  From my patio I can watch the storm clouds building and moving up through the valley.  Many times there is a lot of lightening dancing through the sky and ferocious winds.  Usually, there will be torrential rain ...
