For close to 40 years my family has enjoyed a ‘go-to’ pizzeria in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn. With a multitude of choices within walking or delivery distance, this place was a standout. Somehow, just a little tastier than the competition. Even after we’ve flown the family coop - when visiting the old neighborhood and … Continue reading Ready for a Change?
Recently I found a “Sperry and Hutchinson” green stamp at the bottom of an antique desk drawer. While I’d heard of these things on television or in the movies, I’m not sure I’d ever seen one before.

That’s particularly true of some questions rational people conceive of working in an irrational world. I’m a firm believer that happiness comes through understanding. At every level of business, folks who are trying … Continue reading Three Questions To Never Ask A ‘Boss’
A good sign, some would say, is worth its weight in gold. A bad one, well… Through my occasional work as a graphic designer, and role as conscious consumer, I’ve developed a healthy analytical taste for signage.
