I want to blame my expanding waistline on age, but I suspect that working at home is making me fat. That and the fact that I like to eat...a lot!

I'm not talking about the rating system that indicates what age the movie is appropriate for. I'm talking about warnings about bad or unresolved endings. I know many people like movies as a form of art (like literature vs genre fiction), but I prefer to be entertain ... Read more...

Back when I worked a traditional job, I hated Mondays. Getting up early. Trying to get back in the groove of work after two days off. I cringe just thinking about it. Now that I work at home, I find that I dread Wednesdays. It's not because I start my workweek on We ... Read more...
No, I'm not talking about a road trip in which the kids are bored two-minutes out of the driveway. I'm talking about goal achievement. Every few months or so my dissatisfaction over my unattained accomplishments prompt me to re-evaluate, re-set, and re-plan my goals ... Read more...
