  • New Year, New Us

    I've never been particularly good at skiing, could really do without the excessive cold, and shoveling snow is near the top of my "worst ways to spend my time" list.

  • Dining out in Paris

    If dining out in New York were anything like dining out in Paris, residents of the Big Apple -- or much of the U.S., for that matter -- would be forced to take a moment, even just a millisecond, to slow down and actually chew their food.

  • Measuring Growth

    I was driving past a farmer's field on a recent trip to the Midwest when I noticed the stalks of corn, tall and strong, already shooting high into the air.

    I smell a rat. I can't help it, I do.

  • It's All Fun and Games...
    How much should one pay for fun and what is the return on investment?

  • Band Wagonesque
    If you want to get any attention or get a project approved these days, there is one sure trick: frame it around collaboration.

    Every so often a book comes out and creates a buzz. In the blink of an eye, talk shows, commentaries and editorial pages are filled with critiques or fawning interviews of the latest and hottest author. By and large, I've tried to keep HT's pages clear of the hype. Business philosophies come and go, and well-run organizations seldom come from lessons learned from the pages of a paperback book.

  • Lucky Sevens
    Seven years can pass in the blink of an eye. As I was registering my daughter for kindergarten for this fall, it struck me how quickly time goes by.
