Please Prop the articles if you like them !!!!

I am an insurance broker, healthcare consultant and political gadfly by day and a columnist for a small New England paper - the New Canaan, CT News Review by night. I try to combine a BA in literature with a warped mind that has been influenced by growing up with three brothers, raising 3 teenagers and reading the likes of David Sedaris, Woody Allen, Bill Bryson and Dave Barry. It is probably too late for me but perhaps after reading these Lessons Learned, it's not too late for you....Enjoy !
