Resumes Must Grab Readers’ Attention by Miriam Salpeter - May, 2010 It’s only recently that I have personally taken advantage of DVR technology. Yes, I watched shows when they were on live AND sat through commercials.

The Late Show by Suzanne Bates - May, 2010 "How we spend our days, of course, is how we spend our lives" - Annie Dillard, The Writing Life The meeting was in downtown Boston, about a 25 minute ride with no traffic. For some reason I had reserved only 30 minutes travel time on my calendar.
