It is incumbent upon me to report an alarming, and I believe dangerous, trend growing in our society today. I am convinced that sauntering is once again on the rise.

I started feeling the urge to shed a few pounds lately. I’m not trying to be more attractive, mind you. I’m already married so I don’t really need to look good anymore. So I decided to buy an elliptical machine and found a great deal on one at a local mega-chain sports store. While I […]

I don’t know why I always wait until the last minute to buy my wife’s Valentine’s Day present. Most likely, it’s because I’m a guy.

Customer service means never saying “no.” I went into a sweets store at the mall this past weekend to buy a gift basket for a visiting client. As I browsed the store’s shelves, I noticed the goodies in the baskets looked less than appetizing, so I asked Jeff, the customer service representative, if he could […]
By the late 1970s, Journey was pretty much finished. The band had recorded three albums, all of which had been critical successes but market failures.
