Laurie Lever is a typical rider; he started riding at the age of 10 and he has competed internationally for decades. It just took him this long to find a great horse to help him get to the Olympics. Talk about determination.
Lever is the oldest Australian Olympic athlete in Beijing, and he says […]
I mentioned a few weeks ago my concern about the trend of companies to cut retiree health coverage, forcing retirees to pay a higher portion of the costs or drastically slashing the coverage. Now another example:
Maytag has been a big employer in Iowa. They were bought in 2005 by Whirlpool and the new […]
I am a sucker for surveys and evaluations. You know the kind, where you answer the silly questions to get some insight into yourself, your marriage. I found a survey that purports to tell you your REAL AGE by asking you questions about your lifestyle, eating habits, relationships, and other stuff.
It’s RealAge.com. […]

My husband and I have been getting those forms every year (my daughter, who is not yet 30, is also getting one!) […]

I just heard of a young professional who has been in practice for only a few years. He was in a terrible accident, which will mean hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills, not to say the loss of his ability to practice.
If you are considering leaving your job to go into a small […]

With the announcement yesterday from General Motors that they are cutting retiree health insurance, a lot of baby boomers are nervous. Me too. As Bill Losey would say, “I can’t guarantee SQUAT!” And neither can any employer.
My husband retired at the end of last month. His pension is secure, because it’s an annuity. I don’t […]
I confess; I’m a confirmed choc-o-holic. I blame my mother; the only way she could get me to drink milk was to put chocolate syrup in it. Remember?
