  • What is EVIL?

    What is EVIL? It is not murder. It is not lying, cheating, stealing, or breaking any of the 10 Commandments, or Hitler, or Donald Trump. It is NOT a state of being. EVIL is an ACTION, or lack thereof. True EVIL is indifference. We are ALL indifferent at times. Every time you pick up your […]

    Immigration Ignorance

    Had some yard work done that required cutting concrete. My gardener gave me a quote of $150 to do the job. I accepted his bid as fair and equitable, assuming the job would likely take less than 20 minutes, and we agreed on last Sunday for him to do the work. He arrived promptly 8:30 […]

    Educated, but Uninformed

    “I’m educated, but uniformed,” Sheryl said deadpan. “And I want to stay uniformed.” I laughed. “Laughing is good,” she said. But I was laughing at her, and not with happiness, but skin-crawling disgust. An accountant for over 30 years, at one time running her own firm, Sheryl has an MBA from Wharton, which informed her […]

  • On Being Human

    Talked to an old friend yesterday. We hadn’t spoken for almost 2 yrs. No particular reason. Life took over and we lost touch. The last time we spoke he told me his 45 year old wife had quit her job as a restaurant manager and was very happy to be home, fixing up their house, […]

  • The 5% Factor in Finance  

    I had a conversation with my former financial advisor when the markets were crashing back in ‘08. I asked him to give me an estimate, his best, ostensibly educated guess when the market might turn around or at least stabilize. He assured me it would be soon. The credit default scandal had already been exposed. Real estate foreclosures […]

  • The Good Life

    To escape the bickering, and whining, and needs and desires and everyone’s demands, I took our dog for a walk on a quiet fire trail near our house. Bright and beautiful out, a sweet sea breeze came over the Oakland Hills with the afternoon sun. The mile and a half dirt path cut along the […]

  • A True Email Tale

    This morning I came into my office and there was an email from my husband. It was title, “The terminator is coming…” No joke. That was the exact SUBJECT LINE of his email. I don’t care that another Terminator movie is coming out. I liked only the first and second Terminator movies, and thought the rest […]

  • 4 Simple Steps to Better Relationships

    The first year of my marriage didn’t go according to plan. The creative, smart, strong man I thought I married appeared as the jobless brat who refused to take on consulting while he toyed with his latest algorithm instead of engaging with me. I’d waited 36 years to marry, ten years behind most everyone I […]

  • The Future Out of Time

    I was 9 years old the first time I saw the future before it happened. It was a warm fall evening and dad and I sat on the flying bridge and sang, talked, and reveled in the beauty of the setting sun over the languid Pacific as we made our way to Catalina Island that […]

  • Making a Difference

    Typically on Sunday mornings my husband and I share articles from the New York Times. He’ll often read me pieces while I prepare breakfast or visa versa, and we’ll discuss the ones that pique our interest. The year end edition of the Sunday Magazine runs detailed obituaries on a handful of famous and infamous people […]
