In Awe of Some Big Star? Guess What…You Are a Superstar Too!
Friday, November 17th, 2006It seems everywhere you turn someone is ogling at a celebrity or famous person. We spend more time worrying about the details of other peoples lives than we do our own.

Who Am I Anyway? Am I My Resume?
Friday, October 6th, 2006Last night the Broadway revival of A Chorus Line opened and once again theater nuts can see the infamous musical in its new incarnation (it originally ran 1976-1990 and is like “THE” musical by which so many others are measured in terms of success and length of run).
