Up until the past few years most women have simply used whatever skin care products made the best claims, without really worrying about what effects the chemicals that produce those results might have on their skin in the long term, and also on their total health. Now I tend to gravitate towards products that are…

Cash or Swipe?
I don’t feel that old at 46, but I can remember when POS systemsinvolved a simple cash register, calculator for sales tax, and and manual card imprinter with a phone for approvals. Now everyone has a swiping terminal, and most places have a PIN keypad as well. Basically, POS systems are now easier for the…
Video Connections
One thing that really kept me connected and going for my years at Parrot Cay was web video conferencing and video/VOIP services like Skype. But I am finding them handy even in Manhattan as I connect with friends and colleagues from all over the US. It’s very exciting! While building a solid web presence was…
Helmet Laws
For most of my motorcycle riding lifetime in the US, there have been mandatory helmet laws. And while I have been lucky enough to always be with a highly experienced driver, I have also been lucky enough never been in a biking accident. At least one good friend of mine was scathed for life after…
New City, New Doctors
One of the more stressful things about moving back to the US is the change in doctors and insurance. In Turks and Caicos everything was clear and ran smoothly like new casters over a hardwood floor.

The holidays feel very strange to me this year. I’m not used to the weather and am freezing much of the time. I am slow because most of my clients are away, either home with family or vacationing at a place like Parrot Cay, where this is the busiest time of year. And I am…
We Breathe In Pilates – Just Sayin’
When I read all the news articles about a woman whose breast implant was supposedly “swallowed” by her body during a Pilates exercise, I could not believe that the names “Pilates” and “Valsalva” were being used to describe the same exercise. As my friend Marguerite Ogle points out, the Breast Implant DID NOT Disappear Because…
Vacation Home
OK, last night we watched one of the funniest and goriest movies we’ve seen in a long time, Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, starring one of my very favorite comedians, Alan Tudyck. Without giving too much away, I will say that the twist of this movie is that the bumbling country boys who seem to…
