on car rentals

posted on June 29th, 2008

Having never rented a car before, I found myself in Calgary this weekend doing just that.  I had to fly in for a funeral… drive myself to a remote cemetary some 2 hours away, and drive back to catch a flight.  Thus, when the exceptionally kind car rental man told me that it would be […]

the smart collection…

posted on June 21st, 2008

Just like a good lipstick collection (obviously needed for a superior life experience), I think it’s important to find a good people collection.  There are some kinds of people we need in our lives…

The Listener… what can I say?  Good ears are hard to find and we all need them!  (Beware of those really good […]

the best invention ever….

Some days, when even the largest purchase of MAC wouldn’t help, it just has to be enough to:
