Two years ago, I was called into an early morning meeting. At the age of 60, my corporate career was suddenly over. It was a tough time, and I needed guidance. None was available. So I wrote it myself. My new book, You’re Always 39: How to recover from late career job loss and reinventContinue reading “Exciting Announcement!”
Surviving an Awful Moment
A Surviving Facts Blog I didn’t write a blog last week. I couldn’t. The moment Trump bombed Iran, I lost words. Words became disconnected letters floating randomly above my head, word clouds without words, thought bubbles without logic.

I need a break
I am taking a break from writing a blog this week. I have learned, sadly, that making sense simply doesn’t matter, especially if you’re a certain authoritarian leader who stood before an important global group and spewed embarrassingly inaccurate “scientific” information. While the world snickered, meanwhile, MAGA called for “bombing” said global group over anContinue reading “I need a break”
