I was at a meeting in NYC and I realized I didn't have paper or a pen. A little embarrassed, I asked the secretary of the person I was meeting with if she had writing utensils. She took me to the conference room, sat me down and ran quickly out...
Customer Service and Gas Stations…
The other day, I was filling up at a gas station. (Actually, I feel like I fill up every other day and it costs a fortune, but that's a topic for another time.) I put my credit card in the slot, selected my gas, took the nozzle out and put...
Labor Day and White Pants?
I think I first heard about not wearing white pants after Labor Day from one of my High School friends, Abby Alexander. She was so sure about this fact that she even showed me magazine articles about it. So for years, I didn't wear white after Labor Day. I was...
Fancy Meeting You at the Nail Salon!
Most of the time when I run errands, I never see anyone I know. I do what I need to do and then go home. But today, I got up early and went to the nail salon to get a manicure. I parked my car in my usual spot and...

I know we're all going spiritual over here. But come on, inspirational messages on Halls Lozengers? I love Halls. Everyone I know thinks I'm crazy but I really like the taste and better yet, I love the way it clears up my nose. The other day, I bought a packet...
Ooops… An Accident On the Plane…
I go on planes so often, sometimes I feel like I live on them. I know every word that the flight attendant says before the plane takes off and I know what most of the bells from the flight deck mean. On my way back from Seattle, I decided to...
Delta, Delta, Delta Airlines…
I travel a lot. I have some good experiences with airlines and some very bad experiences. Today, I had a bad experience and I'll tell you why. I got on a flight to Seattle from JFK Airport. It was a direct flight on Delta #DL1743. I was sitting in row...
