I have staggered into a topsy-turvy world where pain is considered a goal. All is peculiar to me this side of the looking glass, for I have gone through to the dominion of "The Workout." Thinking unclearly in the midst of a sugar-rattled brain freeze, I committed recently to enlisting a personal trainer to guide me in an fitness regiment. For session one, she requested I "come to the park so I can...

There is a fine line between inquiring with concern how you might assist someone in her diet efforts; and braying persistent, repetitive, noisy, constant, loud-mouthed inquiries as to whether she knows what the heck she is doing. The former is labeled "being supportive," the latter referred to as "nagging." As examples, supportive is gently and sincerely asking, "How can I help you with your diet?"...

Not all is rosy in the realm of the solo entrepreneur. When something goes awry, whatever buck I should be inclined to pass has nowhere to land except at my desk.

At a recent convention on regaining a balanced life, in a hall bustling with hundreds of eager attendees, each yearning for the enlightenment of fresh knowledge and 15 more minutes in a day, I hurriedly slid into the empty seat next to a well coifed woman, adorned in an expensive, tailored, professional business suit.

On my trusty Macintosh computer's hard drive, and through its 1280 x 1084 pixel monitor, I access all things; from family vacation photos, to personal tax information back to 1991. Should I wish to view the latest blockbuster, the internet is forever at the ready with times and locations.
