Linking to others on LinkedIn is really easy. If you look for and link to people you know you will quickly see other possible people to link with, automatically generated by the software much like it does on other social networks. As I said in the past, there are two
Compiling an Honor Roll seemed like a fine way to celebrate Fathers on their nationally designated day. But then I started to consider ASCAP, modesty and the fact that Fathers are mostly not chosen by their offspring. (I confess that last point is contested by a gifted actor, playwright and
A summer job was once a rite of passage for a teenager. Many parents urged – some required – teens to land a three-month job. Young people were often found flipping burgers, caring for small children, occupying lifeguard posts at pools and the beach, and serving as camp counselors. This
Staying with our LinkedIn leg of our journey (read our previous story) let’s get to uploading a photo of yourself. As much as we don’t like it this photo is a key piece to your profile. If a picture is worth a thousand words than a really good picture of
I should be the last person to be surprised by the rise of Niko Partners and its founding partner Lisa Cosmas Hanson. Well, perhaps one of the last. The Dean of the Graduate School of International Service (SIS) at American University no doubt guessed the stellar future of the MA
A June 1 article in the Boston Globe caught my eye: parents are hiring other people to teach their children how to ride a bike. What was once considered a bonding experience for a parent and a child (think of that scene in Kramer vs. Kramer when the dad played
Tuesday – Fly out of Pittsburgh International Airport to Dallas. From Dallas, transfer to a flight to Albuquerque. Despite its incredible popularity as a tourist destination, Santa Fe stubbornly refuses to build its own airport, and so fly to Albuquerque you must.

Hi. How you doing? Hello, sweetheart. How are you? Uh, not too good. I know, baby. I have to come home. I have to come home. Baby, I know that. I’m sorry, but you’re going to have to stay strong. Are you saying your prayers? Yes, mom, but I want to come home. Baby, I promise you that we’re working on that, okay? Will you promise me that I’ll come home? Sweetheart… Will you try?
Linking to others on LinkedIn is really easy. If you look for and link to people you know you will quickly see other possible people to link with, automatically generated by the software much like it does on other social networks. As I said in the past, there are two philosophies about making “friends” online and only you know what’s best for you. Make connections with anyone you want; there are no rules other than
Compiling an Honor Roll seemed like a fine way to celebrate Fathers on their nationally designated day. But then I started to consider ASCAP, modesty and the fact that Fathers are mostly not chosen by their offspring. (I confess that last point is contested by a gifted actor, playwright and director to whom I have the gift of being related by blood. She makes a beguiling case for the scenario of child as casting director.
A summer job was once a rite of passage for a teenager. Many parents urged – some required – teens to land a three-month job. Young people were often found flipping burgers, caring for small children, occupying lifeguard posts at pools and the beach, and serving as camp counselors. This summer, however, fewer people ages 16 to 19 will be working summer jobs, part of an employment trend experts have been following for a decade.
Staying with our LinkedIn leg of our journey (read our previous story) let’s get to uploading a photo of yourself. As much as we don’t like it this photo is a key piece to your profile. If a picture is worth a thousand words than a really good picture of you may be worth a thousand bucks or more. OK maybe that is an oversimplification, but we all know that today’s world is visually driven
I should be the last person to be surprised by the rise of Niko Partners and its founding partner Lisa Cosmas Hanson. Well, perhaps one of the last. The Dean of the Graduate School of International Service (SIS) at American University no doubt guessed the stellar future of the MA candidate who came to DC in 1990. And surprisingly, a small company in Northern Ireland that manufactured computer housings would also be among the “unsurprised.”
A June 1 article in the Boston Globe caught my eye: parents are hiring other people to teach their children how to ride a bike. What was once considered a bonding experience for a parent and a child (think of that scene in Kramer vs. Kramer when the dad played by Dustin Hoffman teaches his son how to ride a two-wheeler), has now been assigned to a “professional.” The story offered reasons why parents are
Tuesday – Fly out of Pittsburgh International Airport to Dallas. From Dallas, transfer to a flight to Albuquerque. Despite its incredible popularity as a tourist destination, Santa Fe stubbornly refuses to build its own airport, and so fly to Albuquerque you must. The scenic desert drive from Albuquerque airport to Santa Fe is just 70 miles, which with a highway speed limit of 75 means you can make it in under an hour. My relatives
