The Vault
This is the friend who listens, and listens, and then listens some more.

He doesn’t call you on some of the more outrageous or crazy or unstrung things you might say … Read More »

I always tell my clients to go home and rent two movies and study them: THE BREAKUP and WAR OF THE ROSES. It is another example of art illustrating and imitating life.

Please give me the minimum amount of information with the maximum amount of politeness.” (Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis)

This statement provides me with yet one more reason to adore the late JBKO. In this age of information, one can literally become overwhelmed by it all. It doesn’t help, either, if you find yourself stuck with Chatty Cathys all day long.

Why do so many feel the need to purge themselves by talking incessantly about anything and everything? Do we owe it to “reality” TV, where so many people have license to say and do the most outrageous things? Do we owe it … Read More »
