We would love to go to these resturants that are on the list but many don't accept American Express!

This sure gave me a chuckle this morning. Yelp reviews. Huh?? My opinion of Yelp was already low,…Read More but frankly using this for a criteria for this article is lame.
How do you compare Frankie and Dom's with 6 seats and limited (but good) offerings with Stopsky's and Bennet's????

I think the unemployment rate is typically higher than government reports would lead you to believe…Read More based on the fact that a lot of employable individuals simply give up on looking for work & hence they drop off the oficial statistics for those unemployed.

Also much of the challenge for the economy in providing large number of good paying jobs is a structural problem going back 30 years - This short video does an excellent job of describing the challenge of an economy that cannot produce enough middle class jobs: http://www.nytimes.com/video/2012/01/21/business/100000001299945/the-iphone-economy.html?scp=2&sq=the%20iphone%20economy&st=cse

When I got married, my dad gave me a pile of index cards, little lines of wisdom, that he hoped…Read More would help me through my first year of marriage. I remember two--"never go to bed angry" and "look with your neck." The first one made sense. When I asked about the second, he replied, "Look, some of these apply to being married. Some apply to staying alive so you can stay married. I've seen you drive. You need to do a better job of looking out for that other car. Don't just look in the rear-view mirror. Turn around and 'look with your neck.'"
I'm teaching my son to drive now, and I use that phrase every day. Thanks, Dad!
