Most people want the corner office, what used to be the country club membership, and the expense account. But are we willing to pay the price?

Recently I had the opportunity to be a guest on a morning talk/news show. I had to get up at 4 am to be at the downtown studio at 7. Those who work on the show both on and off the air, have to wake up that early every day.

George Burns

You may remember George Burns. The cigar-gumming circular-bespectacled comedian. He was known for many things from his acting parts in Oh, God and The Sunshine Boys from his earlier vaudeville fame to the fact that he lived to be 100.

You may not know that he was born Nathan Birnbaum. He was one of 12 children born in New York City. He had a brother who ended up in Akron Ohio in the “schmata” business. In the 1950’s he opened a high end women’s dress store named Birnbaum’s. The store remained open until the early 1980’s.

Are you still making excuses to use a paper calendar?  You don’t have a flip phone anywhere on you, do you? I don’t know about you, but I loved my Daytimer. Perhaps you loved your Franklin planner. I was more efficient with my beloved Day-timer than I am with my Smart phone, smart as it is. Even though I could take out my Day-Timer and make an appointment faster than those at the table with a phone, the day came when I had to stop using pen and paper. It was dated, old school, so last century.
