    Blues great Albert King sang, “If it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all.” One way or another, we’re all lucky. Lucky in love, lucky in life, lucky at poker. There are so many aspects of luck that nobody is truly “unlucky”. Some things work...

  • Moderation


    Do you remember the first time you ate ice cream? If you’re anything like me, you probably squealed with delight. The fact is I still squeal with delight when I eat some good ice cream. Basically this is because I only eat ice cream once in a while. But...

  • The Howie Mandel Principle


    Among my family's favorite TV shows is NBC's "Deal or No Deal," hosted by comic Howie Mandel. My son likes playing a game where it's easy for him to figure out the rules, combined with yelling along with an audience. My wife loves the interaction between...
