For the love of heaven,

IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE LANES, USE YOUR SIGNAL!

It's Easy, If You Know How

July 18, 2017

A couple of weeks ago I was going to write that there’s almost no excuse for not being able to promote yourself these days and make a fortune. Who needs an MBA to make a living when there’s an internet? But then I decided that that would mean I had to put my money where my mouth was, and actually come up with a game plan for making money by self-promoting.

Well, I still haven't, but another woman sure has proved the theory.

A Nevada mom is making $5,000 a month posting sexy selfies online. It’s that easy.

(Hey, I didn’t say the methods were necessarily tasteful, just easy.)

I'm Working It Off

I had been looking forward to trying out some bakeries in Boston, but didn't get to go. So yesterday I decided to go to one here that had been written up in the paper and was easy to get to.

I went and got a luscious-looking piece of cake, and a big chocolate chip cookie that I intended to save for today, but didn't.

So I probably ate 600 calories in sweets, but that's OK; I may have burned 10 of them when I walked home from the concert in the park last night.

HaWhiney Five-0

With Grace Park and Daniel Dae Kim leaving Hawaii Five-0, I hope that the writers aren’t counting on Danny’s incessant whining and the worn-out bickering between Danny and Steve to keep the audience—because that routine got old in Season 2.

Personally, I would have given Park and Kim the raises they asked for, just so we could have some new lines in every show.

I Could Have Done Without the Compliment

A friend and I were discussing sightseeing trips we’d taken on our own. As I leaned over to pick something up she said, “You’re so bold!” But before I could actually feel good about that, she continued, “You’re letting your hair go gray naturally.”

Aaand just like that—the moment was gone.
