I was reading the December 2009 “Readers Digest” about stereotypes Charity Ohlund posted on her blog “In the Weeds”. I really enjoyed it, being a former waitress myself.
The last stereotype listed stated a business woman hosting a business dinner does not tip as well as a business man and finished with the phrase “please enlighten me”. I happen to know the answer to this question. It was a mystery that baffled me for years but the answer is quite simple. I learned it is because these business men have higher salaries than business women. Even if they have the same job/experience/education/position in the company/etc. women have lower salaries.
I hope this solves the mystery for you, Charity.
Thanks!

Just read your post about “Dad Almirall” (my friend Rob), through a link in FaceBook. Appreciated the stories and descriptions. We miss him.

Greetings!
A Google search for “Professor Harvey Asher” just led me to a response to your delightful “5 Geeks We Love” posting that added said professor to an impressive collection of lovable geeks. I have the good fortune to be married to Professor Harvey Asher (Drury University, 1967-2003) — and to love him, of course — and thought you and your followers might enjoy his latest venture: America–The Owner’s Manual: How Your Country Really Works and How to Keep It Running, recently launched at http://americatheownersmanual.wordpress.com. To paraphrase your own description, one might call his approach “Modern America meets history with an attitude.”
Enjoy!

What happened to the Beth Hart Whole Lotta Love video? That was the best! Where can I find it?
