I am a veteran journalist who has had the opportunity to cover stories for news on three continents, and be the interviewer or fly on the wall when business and political decisions are discussed or made.

Every parent who has pushed a baby carriage in the last 20 years owes a thank you to Senator Ted Kennedy.  You may think that is a crazy statement.  Health care reform bills have nothing to do with strollers on the street.  That’s true.  Bu ... Read more...
It's Monday with a countdown to Christmas and New Year and lots of talk of 2010 calendars and what's next on our to-do lists.  Yes, that was a run-on sentence but I am in run-on mode.  I am thinking about all the stuff i wanted to write about this year.&nb ... Read more...
As of December 1st, 2009, bloggers fall under a new set of rules. While bloggers are busy writing their thoughts on everything, there are some bloggers who only write about stuff they get to keep or use for free.  In general, the writers who write for Workin ... Read more...
