The TSA PreCheck for Your Doctor’s Office If you have flown commercially in the last decade, you know the exact moment the frustration sets in, and if you are flying now, all I can say is good luck. 🙁 It isn’t when the middle seat reclines into your knees. It isn’t even the turbulence. It […]

Years ago, I was driving across states with a good friend and colleague from Spain. We stopped in at a gas station that had a Subway restaurant on the side. When my Spanish colleague was asked if he wanted his sandwich “To Go,” he looked at me quizzically and asked what they meant (he spoke […]
Sit at a busy café in Paris long enough and something unsettling happens: nothing. The waiter doesn’t sprint. No one is shouting about table turnover. There’s no laminated sign behind the counter promising a “Server of the Month” bonus for fastest espresso delivery. And yet, miracle of miracles, the place runs smoothly. Orders arrive. Coffee […]
