  October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month This may be the first time I’m publicly talking about my boobs (except for the short stint doing Sophie Tucker jokes as a Bette Midler impersonator just after college).

Lollapalooza Aqua Aerobics Playlist

Intergenerational, SocietyAugust 2, 2018

I had a ridiculous amount of fun yesterday putting together a Lollapalooza playlist for my Aqua Bootcamp class. As I told the class, made up of mostly women and a few men ages 40+ to 80, “I don’t want you just to look good. I want you to be hip and cool, too!” I knew…

What Kind of Technology Tourist are You?

Intergenerational, Marketing, Media, Popular CultureJuly 17, 2018

If I asked about new technology two years ago, you would have lamented (or relished) diminishing face-to-face connections, with the growth of Facebook and LinkedIn.
