What’s Your Rate of Return?

The Answer is Blowin’ the Wind
Wind is air convection currents caused by the sun’s uneven heating of the earth’s surface. Earth’s rotation, terrain and land/water mix all contribute to wind flows. For example, during the day, air over land warms quicker and rises, causing cooler marine air to rush in.…

So, What Are You Really Saying? Nonverbal Cues & Unlocking the Mysteries of Courtship
Woman #1 (smiling demurely) I’ve got a date tonight. Woman #2 (sighing morosely) I’ve got a date tonight, too. While the above sentences are practically the same, what the women are implying about their circumstances is vastly different. (Poor Woman #2… she has a terrible name and she isn’t happy about…

Editor’s Note: February 2009
I am boycotting Valentine’s Day this year. Instead, I think I shall spend the month celebrating some other much under-appreciated and little publicized holidays in February. How about Wear Red Day on February 6th? I have a red hat. I’ll wear it proudly. Even if it is…
