Summer is here and nothing tastes better than a cold, crisp salad on these hot days. Salads aren’t often a “low-cal” menu option once you add all of the fun stuff, but they sure make for a quick satisfying meal. The wedge salad is an iconic steakhouse staple and so easy to make at home. If you’re trying to cut calories, go light on the dressing and cheese. Moderation is key, right? Not a bleu chee…
Steve Jobs was a computer entrepreneur, a marketing genius and an inspiration to all Americans. He died in 2011 at age 56 of pancreatic cancer. I thought it appropriate to revisit a post from 2011 that I did on the former Apple CEO. From April 2011: I’ve never owned an Apple computer. I don’t have a iPod or an iPhone or an iPad. Yet Steve Jobs has changed my life immeasurably, simply because of hi…

Between all the occasions you’ve forgotten and all the poorly chosen gifts you’ve given, you’re lucky you still have a wife. You could ask her what she wants, but she probably wishes you knew. And if she tells you she doesn’t want anyth…
I come from a first-generation Italian family that included my Aunt Gloria. My father worked three jobs when I was a young kid. I hardly saw him while I was growing up. My dad only had an 8 th grade education, but he and my mother were determined—there was never a question or doubt—that my sister and I would go to college. And so we did. Our parents worked hard and sacrificed much to make that hap…

He has been on staff at the Calvary Baptist Church of North Carolina since 1971. In 1992, Chapman wrote his world famous book The Five Love Languages:…

Can we talk about sex beyond midlife? I remember as a kid when I first learned about human anatomy and “where babies come from” my reaction was ick! Gross! That can’t be true! Then puberty, my mom explained the burden of being a girl, and I was disgusted. Then in high school sex education class just as our hormones were surging, we got the scoop on our biology, but two things were missing from the…
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, and particularly anyone with any semblance of sanity left, (statistically there must be at least a few that haven’t had their brains – and ears – discombobulated,) WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!! And not just some minor pipsqueak skirmish, but an all out Armageddon aggravated assault! Our modern industrial world has devolved into a continuous ultimate war on our hearing…
Eradicating the scourge of Customary and Imperial units of measurement from all textbooks and ancillary learning materials for all students in all grades is getting a little too high on the “to do” list of American schools. “Metric is the only way now,” say our educators, pointing to the dire need for science and math skills in the increasingly competitive global job market. However, I would recom…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a revolutionary force, reshaping various aspects of our lives, from healthcare and finance to transportation and entertainment. This cutting-edge technology has the potential to transform industries, enhance efficiency, and drive innovation. …
Your career comfort zone will fool you into thinking that it’s better to do nothing than to take action. If you are unhappy in your current position or are in the midst of a career transition, take the opportunity to move beyond the illusory stability of your comfort zone. To better understand how the comfort zone works, it might help to remember the old parable of the frog and the pot of water. T…

*It is estimated that 14% of soldiers experience depression after deployment, and it is likely that this number is underreported as many don’t seek help. How do middle-aged men know they have fallen into a depression? Are the symptoms any different from other individuals and age groups? Actually, they’re not. Common symptoms of depression can include a lack of motivation, difficulty concentrating,…
In March I rode our new BMW bike down from Bucharest to Antalya, about 1600 km, 1000 miles. One of the stops on the way was in Ephesus, which is not the name of the city, but the names of the ancient ruins. Those ruins are at the top of my Best Ruins list as I reflected upon others I have visited. In the past four years I have been to 26 countries and collectively I’m at 39 over my lifetime. Most…
As a baby boomer, most of my pop cultural touchstones date back to the 1950s through the 1970s. Bob Dylan will always speak more to me than Jay Z; the Kardashians are only names to me. What is it they do, exactly? I have no idea. My all-time favorite actors and actresses are long since deceased; some of my favorite movies were filmed in black and white. But many of them — along with popular songs,…
