ONLINE PRESENTS, OR ONLINE PRESENCE

Online presents are the gifts you give yourself. And you’ve earned them, however magnificent or meager they may be. Baby boomers know all about the differences between magnificent and meager. So should you. Please continue.

COMMITMENT TIME, BUT TO WHAT

Commitment time is like a broken clock being right twice a day. The difference is one. Make your promise when you get up, not when you go to bed. You’ve got enough going on to keep you awake.

LUXURY LIVING FOR LESS THAN YOU’D THINK

Luxury living starts with a mink coat and a diamond ring? Of course it does, Dahling. Why not add a private jet and mansions in different time zones? George Clooney just moved to France with Brad Pitt nearby. If you’re looking to live among the stars, this is your chance. Is there any greater luxury? […]
