Call me an old fart…but just call me back! Yipes, what has happened to doing business today? Are these so-called “Best Practices” really best at all? I thought it was flaky back in my showbiz days – before email, texts, smart-phones, computers, and all the tech that is supposed to “connect” us. Yes, email began during my tenure in “the biz” but cell-phones were basic and real phone calls were the bread and butter of doing business. Our Best Practices were called courtesy and hard work!

Ahhh, another time for Dad to display his acute amazing parenting skills. This time he is giving son a driving lesson – only in his inimitable method of hypocrisy!
Ahhh, boundaries. Do we as parents know how to set and stick with them? Do we set them with our partners? With our employers? Heck, how about boundaries with ourselves!? That’s the topic we’re going to tackle Thursday, March 14 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET. We are graced with a wonderful co-host, Carla Young who suggested this terrific topic!
There’s no doubt that there will be more and more columns, magazine covers, and television coverage of the affects of technology on our lives. Our kids have grown up in a smart-phone tech world and know nothing other than that reality. We all now have what I call virtual friends, those “friends” that we actually consider friends but that we’ve actually never met or even spoken with. When I was kid that was the stuff of science fiction. So, it was inevitable that some of us would get addicted to our tech, to Social Media, and the devices we seem to cherish.
Happy Birthday Mom! My mother would have been 95 this past March 4th, 2013. She and my dad have both been gone several years now. This video – taken by their crypts – is my off-the-cuff reflections about them and thoughts on how to treat YOUR loved ones while they’re still with you. I had no script. This is real life and real emotions. Have your tissues handy!
Do we get lazy with our winter time workouts? Does inclement weather discourage you? Exercise and workouts must be a year-round habit. For me, as you can see above, I love to ski but that is limited as far as its frequency. We will discuss both exercise, workouts, diet and more with Heather Frey aka @SmashFit, this Thursday, March 7 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET. Heather will also chat about her Change Challenge, which she presented on The Ricki Lake Show. Dress for this chat is “workout casual.”
Ahhh, the joys of being a parent. Constructive criticism backfires on Dad in this week’s Because I Said So comic strip. Check out our column on this subject, Constructive Criticism – Are Today’s Millennials too Thin-Skinned to Handle It?
