It’s that time of year again. No, not just the beginning of the holiday season but also the intrusive, barraging influx of political campaign ads. Between the texts, the endorsements on television and the non-stop phone calls, there is no way anyone will forget about their civic duty on Tuesday. Enough is enough. I have […]
Read MoreWords without action might as well be left unsaid. Broken promises, lack of change, and a void of commitment reduce “I’m sorry”, “I promise”, and “I guarantee”, to nothing but a bunch of haphazardly placed letters. Say less but do more. Actions speak louder than words. A lack of action will cause you to lose […]
Read MoreFancy celebratory dinner that was only so-so. Service that is fair to middling. A “just ok” first date. There will not be a recommendation to your friends for a subpar restaurant experience.
