Apparently, along with many of you, I’ve got a heck of a lot on my mind lately. There are so many things I want to share — reviews of new movies coming up (a little bit of escapism never hurt anyone), much, much more on the auto industry, perspective on the economy, new technologies [...]
“Woman, 107, seeks spouse” A Chinese woman who never married is looking for a husband so she won’t be a burden on her elderly nephews and nieces. If you’ve ever wondered about love after mid-life, this article in the Globe and Mail will make for some good bedtime reading. I read Ronni Bennet’s post today with great interest: http://www.timegoesby.net/weblog/2008/12/the-real-economic-story.html Like many of us, she wonders what it happening to the many, many middle class, working poor, and poor who have been hit (and will continue to be hit) hardest by the economic meltdown. On my group at Eons, I ask the question, [...]
On September 11, 2001, my daughter was 18 months old. I lived 35 miles from my place of work, which in Los Angeles translated to a 1 – 1 1/2 hour commute each way, each day. I had to pass Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) each day on the way to and from [...]
As a 49 year old woman, who climbed the corporate ladder, bumped my head against the glass ceiling many times and ultimately found a happy and successful career managing an operation quite a bit larger than the city of Wasalia, I have a lot to say about McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin [...]

What do the Mona Lisa and I have in common? Well, for one thing, we were both conceived of before 1959. I’m sure, dear readers, that none of you find that quite as funny as I do. Oh well. At least I’m chuckling.The other thing Mona Lisa and I have in common is [...]
In my own efforts to live a “greener” life, one of the changes I made was to buy a high end Nalgene bottle (the high quality plastic bottles that are not supposed to leach toxins into the water) so that my daughter could use it instead of individual bottles of water that are [...]
Last night I watched the Barbara Walters Special on ABC — Live to 150. A few years ago, I’m sure I watched another show that talked about living to 125 so the advances in longevity research in just a few short years have had a quick impact on projections of lifespan. According to [...]
Canadian media mastermind, Moses Znaimer (if you are Canadian, you’ll definitely know who he is, and if you are not, then keep your ears open…because you will…) has recently taken over as executive director of CARP (the Canadian version of AARP) and is shaking things up…in a positive way. Just as he reinvented [...]
