The year is half over!

Book of the Week

Uncle Tony’s

Management Tips & Jokes

Sample

If you must disagree with someone, do so with tact and in a way that allows the other person to save face. And you never want to become angry during an argument, since you will likely end up looking stupid.

Speaking of arguments, Uncle Tony told me that one time he got into an argument with his furnace.

I asked, “What happened?”

Uncle Tony said, “Well, things got a little heated.”

Movie of the Week

As many of you know, I’m back to watching this 25 season (soon to be 26)  series and I am now into Season 13.

Book of the Week

It’s a children’s book, but is it really?

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

and

Through the Looking Glass

By Lewis Carol

The book talks about very few things being really impossible.

About giving oneself very good advice,  

but seldom following it.

Waking up as one person and changing throughout the day.

Everything has a moral, if only you can find it. 

Movie of the Week

I think this is worth watching. 

Sirens is an American dark comedy limited Netflix series. Set over the course of a single weekend at a luxurious beach estate, the series explores themes of gender, power, and social class. It premiered on May 22, 2025, and received generally positive reviews from critics.
