In earlier articles I have written about time blocking, email apps and task managers. Being a more or less semi-professional procrastinator I tend to spend a lot of time thinking of what app to try instead of actually getting things done. I am in no way an expert, I am — probably like most ...

Investing can be confusing. Why so? Because it covers money, our spending habits, emotions, and future retirement. The stakes are high. Fortunately, we can compound our money, no matter how little we earn. The financial market does a great job for us… so long as we do not interrup...

People don’t exactly want to hear about the great new car you bought, they don’t want to hear how great your family is doing. But suppose you are proud of your accomplishments, then what? What one calls “Sharing My Life Story” others call “Boasting”. My wife is...

The new school year is approaching in the aftermath of two recent US Supreme Court decisions that fail to acknowledge the deep wounds of our racist history. We are going back to school as usual while going backward on our commitment to racial justice. First, the loss of race-conscious affirmative...

Watching the PBS NewsHour and a man in a Nikki Haley sweatshirt is talking about how her supporters are afraid to display one of her signs in their yard. The man is a New Hampshire voter.

Who was St. Patrick? So, I ask myself, why do we celebrate an Irish tradition in America? I want to know especially because I have some Irish ancestry. Well, it begins with a 16-year-old British boy who was kidnapped by Irish pirates in the 5th century from his wealthy family’s estate, t...
