I was recently asked by someone why he wants to drink so much. Not being a mind reader (a gift I still pray to be given), my immediate response was to ask if he was married... that’s a joke... kind of. The real question why someone drinks so much is does he have kids? Again, a kind of joke. The … [Read more...]
Why You Should Stop Apologizing

How to Carry on a Conversation
I was recently asked how to carry on a conversation... a question that is itself a good way to carry on a conversation. With this person I had previously discussed how to start a conversation with JAOCAOH, a brilliant word... that’s not a word; it’s an acronym. I use this “word” to give ideas on … [Read more...]
