681a French Impressionism; Perfect Week in Paris; Appreciating the Louvre Rick Steves
When I’m at an event with people I’ve never seen before, I depend on my business card for salvation. Even if you don’t have a job, a card lets you display credentials to get one. You never get a second chance to make a first, engraved impression. If Bob spends his life daydreaming, he can’t brag about that on a resume. But if his business card claims he’s a “futurist,” you’ll consider him a dude with potential. Educational titles on […]
Consumer fees are everywhere. They’re even taxing baseball fans. There is a clear disconnect between the seemingly daily reports of positive economic numbers in Washington and on Wall Street and the economic uncertainty reported in surveys of Americans. From a purely statistical perspective, consumers should be popping champagne. The stock market continues to break records, sending retirement accounts soaring, as economic growth is expected to reach nearly 4 percent this year. Rental prices are dropping in most of the country. And Truflation, a financial data platform […]
You probably use a computer — in fact, you’re probably reading this column on a computer. For 72% of you, that computer is the ubiquitous “standard” Windows PC or laptop. For 20% of you, it’s a Mac. The other 8% of you oddballs mostly use Linux or (Linux-based) ChromeOS. I know the 92% of you who use Windows or macOS get tired of the cool kids telling you this, but it should be the other way around. Almost everyone should […]
Many towns now prohibit citizens from keeping jungle animals. What, exactly, is a “wild pet?” That depends on your town, and what its council considers more dangerous than a roving bachelor’s party. For instance, some communities term boa constrictors “wild.” In others, they’re considered “non-poisonous reptiles with a lethal hug.” That reminds me of my great aunt, who visited us on holidays. Coyotes, wolves, and hyenas are also wild, even though they disguise themselves as lovable, giant-fanged dogs. My neighbor […]
Even with all of the methods available to us for communication, email continues to be one of the most popular ways in the workplace to reach out to others. Although email has been around since 1971, it became more common in the 1990’s. It has been estimated that around 376.4 billion emails were sent DAILY in 2025. With all of these emails we send and receive, there are bound to be some good rules of thumb when creating, sending, and […]
Many folks say that after a busy December, January can be a snoozer. So, here’s something to ponder: What is Santa Claus doing now? How about those reindeer? Ever wonder what they do? Me neither. Donner, Blitzen, Comet, and other first-stringers have enough seniority to draw vacation pay. I‘ve heard that the substitutes -- Delbert, Elmore, Hubert, Fester -- often get called at the last minute to fill in for the main guys. This is called “passing the buck.” Idle […]
“How long has this turkey been in the fridge?” “Are these mashed potatoes still good?” “Will this stuffing last until Christmas?”These are common questions you might hear echoing from the kitchen after the holidays. Sharing food with family and friends makes great memories, but no one wants to remember getting sick from old leftovers. So, how long will holiday foods stay safe to eat in the refrigerator? Illinois Extension Educator Lisa Peterson has written this great article that should answer […]
When did people begin to host New Year parties? Ancient Egyptians celebrated the New Year when the Nile River overflowed, usually in June. Then someone suggested, “If we change New Year's Day to January, we won’t drown coming home from the party.” Early Romans named their celebration for Janus, a deity with two faces. One face looked backward, the other forward. Today, we also reflect on the past and plan for the future. But we no longer have two faces, […]
If you’ve gone to a hospital that’s in your insurance network, you probably assume every doctor you see there is also in-network. That used to be a risky assumption. Before 2022, many patients were shocked to get massive medical bills after getting care from doctors who, unknown to them, weren’t in their insurance network, even though the hospital was. To fix this, Congress passed the No Surprises Act. It was designed to protect patients from these surprise bills, and to […]
