When does nonsense become noncents? Nonsense is a communication via speech, writing or any symbolic system that lacks any coherent meaning. Noncents is a new word that I formed to describe anything that relates to money that makes no sense or is absurd. The process of forming a new word on the basis of an existing word is called derivation. Read More…
I have been searching for New York pizza in Los Angeles since I arrived here nearly 42 years ago. I have found it several times in various locations in and around Los Angeles. The most recent was terrific little place run by an ex New Yorker just five (5) miles from home. The crust just tastes different when it is an authentic New York pizza. I know there is other good pizza and I enjoy those too. Read More…
Why is a desk chair so important? Do you have back problems? Which came first the back problems or a bad chair? I worked in an office almost my entire working life and had good and bad chairs.

Spring Break is a rite of passage? Students go to Daytona Beach, Florida, Galveston, Texas or Palm Springs, California to just name a few places. Some may go to the snow in Colorado, Utah or Vermont. Others go home, stay out late or just sleep in. Some even volunteer to perform community work such as Habitat for Humanity. What are you doing? Read More…
Is it too late to get on board with a new mortgage? I cannot turn on the TV or the radio without hearing a commercial for a mortgage. Houses are selling at much lower prices in the last few years and these low interest mortgages make it even more affordable. It seems we hit bottom and they are starting to creep up. Should you wait or act now? What should you do? Read More…

I will give you a detailed progress report. I hate excuses because too many people use them to explain why they do not achieve their goals.

I do not often talk about my bank because I have a very long relationship and know how to leverage that to get what I want. I am not slamming credit unions either, but you have to read the whole story to find out. This is not a rant about fees or anything like that.
