Confrontation
I was talking with a friend of mine recently and he was worried: Seems that he was at a kids soccer game & another parent got upset about something. Rather than talking about it the other parent called my friend … Continue reading
Keep 1 hand free
As a followup to yesterday’s post about using a rolling briefcase or cart, you should *always* keep 1 hand free. That’s the hand to carry your keys, open doors, catch yourself when you trip, and ward off attackers. It makes … Continue reading

Cell phones with cameras
If your teen has a camera phone and you want to check on them, call & ask them to take pictures of who they are with *right then* and send them to you. only if you have a teenager can … Continue reading
Cell phone rant ON
Cell phone companies love camera phones. But many places I go (and probably many of you readers) don’t let you carry cameras. Some of the Courts I appear in check and prohibit cameras and camera phones under any and all … Continue reading
