  Tweet When I helped my daughter get her car a couple of years ago, I have to admit I went overboard. I investigated maintenance issues, safety statistics, and mileage. I spent about two months scouring consumer information websites so that I could give her the best advice. What did she decide on? She brought this [...]

  Behind Door Number One…

  Tweet I will have to say that I am no big fan of Vanna White. I don’t know her as a person, but I was always annoyed when she stood there and turned over letters (or touched the spot to light them up). I’ve never been a big fan of The Price Is Right for [...]

  Buying a home (part deux)

  Tweet I went to pick up my daughter Rebecca at college yesterday. She had been sick all week, and went to the hospital the day before, was admitted, didn’t like the treatment and checked herself out against medical advice. Unacceptable. I told her to wait there and I would pick her up and bring her [...]
