I received an email from Progressive through which I have my homeowner's insurance with tips for how to make a home wildfire ready. Before reading the tips, I wanted to come up with my own tips for how one would make a home "wildfire ready."

I saw a news story this morning with a headline that features several topics with which I have zero interest: ABC News, Bill O'Reilly, The View. Nevertheless, I wanted to say a few words about settlements and non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).

I may have been one of the last kids picked for a team in PE class, but I was usually one...

I have vivid memories of watching the very first season of Survivor. It was the only season when they announced the winner live right from the island. I can't believe that was twenty years ago. Somehow, they managed to crank out forty seasons of this show. I watched many of...

Today is shaping up to be one of those days. I could call this a "three-calendar" day because I have action happening on all three calendars. It's the kind of thing that was probably the origin of the phrase "when it rains, it pours." I have a swirl of things...
