Thursday night has been my steak night for a while now
I have been sharing dinner with some friends for a very long time. But, since last March, it’s been over Zoom. And, they always remark that my steaks look scrawny.

Cleanliness is next to godliness? Not if it’s hyper-cleanliness!
Do you remember the 3 second rule? I certainly do.
That rule let kids know it was OK to pick something up off the floor and eat it- as long as it wasn’t there for 3 seconds or more. Oh, stop making those noises! There probably is more right with that rule than you think.

Are you ready for this?
You know it’s coming. And, you better be ready…
You’ve convinced the (potential) client [hereinafter, PC] that you have the ‘stuff”- you can solve their problem. And, then, the PC asks how much this is really going to cost…
