It’s a game-changer. We’ve all heard the phrase before. But sometimes it comes down to not trying to change the game, but your game. Nobody reinvents this game. So goes the line in Moneyball. It might be true if you’re talking about the general perception of something. The majority’s perception. What the commonly held belief […]
I don’t know what it is about something being “on the loose” that cracks me up (with the exception of a crazed lunatic or similar, naturally), but something about the phrase tickles my funny bone.

“Hold, please” is something I often say when I’m in the middle of something and someone else needs my attention. The first time I said it, I simply considered it a polite request. The other person cracked up. “Did you just tell me to hold?” In fact I did. I wasn’t sure where the humor […]

I’m not a big talker on flights. I’m big on staring out the window and taking in the changing landscape, thinking, looking for landmarks and wondering where I’ll go on my next trip. But I had an aisle seat yesterday, so daydreaming with a good view wasn’t in the cards. The man I was sitting […]
