There are many of you out there that are loyal iPhone users. I for one am not, but my wife is, and I get it. I am not trying to sway anyone to a different platform, and I get all that there is when using Apple products together as a whole (one blogger makes that very clear in their posts).

This was the conversation in our house recently.    Did your academic schooling prepare you to practice your chosen profession or craft?  So far, the answer is maybe a little.

In preparation for an upcoming trip to Italy I came across an interesting article, the subject matter was Europeans’ complaints and observations about American food. While the article was not relevant to the information I was looking for, I couldn’t help but read the piece.  

Next week at this time many will be preparing to watch and/or attend gatherings 

Here's one to be filed under the "don't let your kids play with your phone" list.   Last Saturday night a Dad let his 6 year old son, use his cellphone to play a game before bed. But instead of playing a game, he used his father’s Grubhub account to order food from one restaurant after another totaling $1,000 worth of food. A virtual smorgasbord of food from several restaurants was dutifully delivered to his house.  

I’ve had a cold for too long. Complication is that my doctor is a thousand miles away.   After exchanging a number of texts he suggested we have a “Telehealth visit”, so he could see me “face to face and make a plan of action.” And Telehealth visit we did and after a variety of questions and answers he even asked me to cough. It was an amazing virtual “hands on” experience and he then electronically prescribed medication for me at my nearby local pharmacy.   My “visit” was so efficient, reassuring and “real”!

237 Lafayette Street - an address that I will never forget. It is the address of the building on Lafayette Street between Spring and Prince streets in what is now the upscale neighborhood of SOHO (bordering on NOHO) in New York City.

Last week at the Gotham Happy Hour there was the usual catching up, general silliness and good conversation. We started talking about jobs we had in the past and some mused about professions other than their own that they might have chosen.
