Last night William and I went to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Annex to see the John Lennon exhibit. I was a major Beatles fan in my youth, got to my first Beatles press conference in Kansas City at 14, my second in Toronto at 15, and when I was 16 befriended a road…

I thought you might enjoy this. I wrote it a couple of years ago. Two different magazines bought it and then un-bought it. Maybe that means you’re supposed to be reading it now.

If you’re a champion of the non-humans with whom we share this planet, here’s a way to help some of them without writing a check. Just click on these sites — daily if you can — and your clicks keep the corporate contributions coming. The info comes from Mary Max, wife of noted artist Peter Max…

The subject line was “You probably don’t have time to read this email.” I thought, “You got that right,” and for that very reason, I opened it. She told the story of how she taughter her mother, facing cancer at age…

More video from Living a Charmed Life … This is the story of the most amazing manicure on record. Intrigued? Give a look. (Note: the clip is a bit longish — 7 minutes, 38 seconds.)

Okay, that’s a hopeful title. It will take more than one person, even President Obama or Bill Gates, to get the national and global financial system back to health. But each of us can do our part. Here’s my Top 10: See prosperity in the world. Look for it and when you see it — a…
