Many times, I have spoken and written about the pleasures my second wife and I would have preparing meals for our friends at our West Village triplex penthouse in New York City. The copper posts and great food were well known among friends and neighbors. One of the other things we enjoyed was cocktail hour at our home. Each of us was masterful in turning out drinks to start the evening off on the right foot and help set the mood. Making a drink for you and your friends can be so much easier with what is "a bartender's black book" to preparing cocktails. "Mixology Master" by Jeff Altman is ...

Our son is now almost 10 and a terrific reader. When he was “little,” he was a very active child . . . or at least he seemed that way to us older parents raising him. Each night, as part of our bedtime ritual, we would get him into bed and read stories to him. When he was very young, he would finish lines of the story and that made us think he was a genius and reading at a ridiculously young age (he wasn’t; he had memorized the story). Now that he is almost 10 and able to read very well on his own, he begs for extra time to finish a chapter before we turn his lights out. And the fact ...

This is a fictional story about people who wrestled with a problem in their relationship and found a way to get close to one another again. They took a little time. They made a little effort. They did not trick one another or deceive one another. They did need to still care about one another. Without the care still being there, it would not have worked. Nothing would have worked. But this did because they still cared. They had all heard about this idea before but had never followed through thinking they were smart. They knew how to do this. They could just talk it through.

By Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter Writing a resume is a difficult experience for most people . . . and it shows. Most I read are awful. They just don't measure up. On a typical Monday morning, I arrive to 175 - 225 new resumes and, if I'm lucky, two may vaguely fit what a client is looking for. They are visually unappealing, contain too much of the wrong information and do little to present someone's credentials well enough to get an interview for the job the resume has been submitted for. "No B. S. Resume Advice" is exactly that-- no b. s. resume advice. It contains specific actionable ...

Imagine being given an open book test in school and not opening the book. That's what job hunters do much too often reaping the consequences of their laziness and lack of preparedness. Your answer to this question will set the tone for the rest of the interview and either ...
