Skittles gets it
My kids love skittles and so do I. In fact they love my home grown “Skittolies” even more. What are they? Frozen Skittles. I do not go skiing without skittles in my pocket and by the time we open the bag later in the day – Voila, you have frozen “Skittolies”! And the kid’s jostle [...]

I have met with some pretty smart people in the last few days. Today I met with a partner at a private equity firm and a week ago I was with a fairly senior World Bank employee. The bail out was top of mind. For my private equity discussion, I was asked what I thought [...]

Delta changes flight path after bloggers give feedback
Hot on the heals of the Motrinmoms apology, Delta reversed course on a decision that angered its platinum members.
