33. Cult Films: The Good, The Bad And The Not-So-Ugly October 18, 2018 When you sit back and judge any one of a number of cult films, you’re doing so with a certain amount of preconceived notions. For many of these films, they’ve gone through decades of ridicule and scrutiny, with most opinions falling in two camps — genius & ahead of its time or pure garbage. With that kind of baggage, it’s a little tough to be able to make your own opinion when you finally take the plunge & watch. Here are a select cult films that have actually moved in and out of favor among their cult following over the years. Nonetheless, each certainly has its place: The Good: Cle...

40. The Keurig Saga July 08, 2017 We all get awesome wedding gifts. One of mine forty years ago was a Farberware coffee pot. It was an 8 cup perk and it cranked out wonderful coffee for a year or so.

He hit the top of the stairs and smelled the acrid odor of the burning pot, flew down to t... (read more) Author: Margot Howe

It sure looked easy enough. Reading the recipe was a cinch, but somehow my mind transposed 2 cups of flou... (read more) Author: Margot Howe

I was gazing out the tall windows of my office at the blue, blue Santa Barbara sky, with nary a cloud in sight. It was my 50-something birthday. The bills were ignored. It seemed like a perfect day.

44. Equality and diversity is about much more than political correctness. April 21, 2015 Equality and Diversity training. How does it matter in the workplace, anyway?

50. Humor is Challenging with Hearing Loss July 23, 2014 The foundation of what makes something humorous causes humor to be a challenge for those of us who are hard of hearing. Here is why.
