I was driving home from work to vote in the primary. Somewhere on Willow Road, I was cut off by my mother. She turned to head home and I figured that she had either voted that morning or wanted to let the dog out… Continue Reading “Lost Groundhog Election”
I read this article on MSN Money when I was out of town – Seattle, I think – so I didn’t write about it. But MP Dunleavy (with the help of Consumer Reports) dug up a whole bunch of scenarios where women are charged… Continue Reading “What Women Pay”

Jason Whitlock at Foxspots.com has me fired up again. (For the record – I don’t read him all the time and I don’t agree with everything he says). In his NFL Truths column today, Whitlock said this: “The next time someone tells you that… Continue Reading “What-WHAT?!”
MSN Careers ran an article called Juggling Work and School that made me think I should take some time to sum up the experience. I’ll come up with something all Doogie Howser Thoughtful. Eventually. But first, the point of the article: How the heck… Continue Reading “Juggling Work and School”
