Help With The Hard Stuff: ‘Smith’s, Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods’
HELP WITH THE HARD STUFF:
This column ends the 10-part Help with the Hard Stuff series on things to consider about yourself and about lawyers in finding a lawyer to help you.
Last week’s column emphasized that all forms of legal services, conventional or innovative, are very human, to me meaning that the practical, on-the-ground reality can be very different from the idealized or theoretical model. That’s okay, as long as we know that and don’t believe and trust that the on-the-ground reality matches exactly (or even Read More

How the Hen House Turns: Peace and Quiet Comes to the Hen House
How the Hen House Turns: What a beautiful morning it was—after the two-inch rain Friday—the first rain in how many months? There were blue skies, no wind, and quiet in the Hen House pen!
The noise has been driving husband Don wild. (He’s trying to write a serious blog. (There are such things.)) I couldn’t hear the noise because my office is on the other side of the house.
What noise? It was the noise of one male duck, Mr. Campbell. at the divider fence in the Hen House pen, in the face of two female geese
Money IQ: Trustee – Corporate v. Individual
Money IQTrustee: Corporate v. Individual
You have met with your attorney and discussed your estate planning needs. You have decided that you do want a trust. If you create what is commonly known as a revocable living trust, regardless of the trust provisions, the next big question is once you can no longer act as trustee whether due to death or incapacitation, who should be successor trustee?

Food on the Hill: Crème Brulee Pie
Crème Brulee Pie
Photo by Sue York/ladailypost.comIt took me three tries to get this pie to turn out. Sometimes everyone has trouble in the kitchen. The first try never congealed. It was a wet mess! The second filling was boiled too long and went into the hard cracked stage of sugar, and had a deep burned taste. The third time was the charm. You must watch the sugar boiling. You have about 15 seconds of a window that it needs to come off the stove top before you have over-cooked it.
I start with a freezer pie crust. Thaw it for about 10 minutes and press the areas together Read More

Many a managers want to do this regardless whether changes are necessary. Yet, “the more things change, the more they stay the same.” The joke for incoming manager/CEO is, “same tree, different monkey.” Real changes are of transformative nature where the core of being, be that an organization, a group, or Read More

Scribble Works Reviews
If there was ever pressure to make a film right, it was for Man of Steel. This film had hype, Chris Nolan’s name, and the hope of an epic Justice League film. There was a lot riding on this film. Man of Steel had a ton of grand action, but it didn’t have a whole lot else. Although we hate to say it, this film was grand disappointment. Man of Steel is a $225 million children’s film that likens itself to a Power Rangers episode minus the red underwear.
