Meet 82-year old Doris Thompson. Her criminal career spans almost six decades. Burglary seems to be her crime of choice and she’s been in prison at least nine times. You’d think someone would learn their lesson after a life a crime. But not Doris. She was recently arrested for looting doctors’ offices in the Torrance, […]
We just had the pleasure of having a couple of out-of-town friends stay with us and had some interesting conversations during their visit.

I recently wrote an article about my disdain for Hollywood remakes and someone commented and said “I strongly suggest you step out of your age-ism and try really hard to recognize that the world we live in is not the one you grew up in.” Well, clearly I’m aware that the world we live in […]

We’ve become a nation of whiners and complainers and willing to sue just about anyone because we’re too fat, too thin, too short, too tall. That’s why we have so many labels warning us of the obvious. Can anyone tell me why they would lick a computer circuit board even if they didn’t know it […]
I’ve said it more than once – personal behavior has consequences on professional decisions. Here’s a perfect example. Sunland Park, New Mexico, Mayor Martin Resendiz, says he was drunk when he signed not one, not two, not three, but nine contracts with California architectural firm, Synthesis.

Not a day goes by that I don’t read an article which floors me. One of the most recent is an article entitled “Infidelity and 12 Other Things We Blame on our Genes.” I said to myself, “This is a joke, right?” Not! The article goes on and describes various behaviors and syndromes which are […]
