Discussing Hearing Problems with Older Employees
It can be a delicate business, bringing up hearing problems with an older employee. Many people tend to be resistant to believing their hearing is going as they age.

Cat trees for the fancy kitties
My Mother must really be slipping into senility as she gets a little older. I say that with all due respect, but the way she treats her pets makes me thankful she’s not the heiress to some multinational fortune. If that were the case, I’ve no doubt the bulk of her estate would go to [...]

Kids say the darnedest things
It was so adorable. We’ve been having poetry week in class this week, so I read them William Wordsworth’s “Daffodils” and they made daffodils with paper cut outs, and “O Captain My Captain” and the whole class made a huge papier-mâché boat. Today, I told them to write their own poems and then make an [...]
Make Your Rental More Rent-able
