Our Great City

Taking care of your face, on a daily basis, is a reality for anyone who does not want to look years older than their true age. Skin care is not a “women’s-only” club with secret rituals to which men are not admitted. Thorough cleaning and skin protection is a universal fountain of youth. Men also need to maintain and protect their face in order to improve our feeling of wellness, our perception in the workplace and the social scene, and to minimize the likelihood of skin cancer and other unwelcomed side effects. We spend a lot of time outdoors and whether you’re golfing, running, coaching/watching your kids’ activities or skiing this Spring Break, your face is continually bombarded by the damaging effects of the sun, wind and pollution. To keep your face looking and feeling its best, and to protect it against the harsh elements, I recommend a simple routine that every man can follow in five minutes twice per day and without sacrificing your masculinity.

Wanna gross out your kid on Valentine’s Day? In a public place, with lots of people around, say the three words everyone wants to hear, “Child, I am in love with you.” See how many cell phones speed-dial Child Protective Services.

There is a big difference between “I love you” and “I am in love with you.”

One is a state and the other is a trait. That is important because a state is temporary, while a trait is relatively permanent.

New Year’s resolutions are a quaint tradition. They are more euphemistic than practicable. You say, “I resolve to…” while thinking, “It would be nice if something magical happened that would make me…”

Resolutions are not lies…exactly. But somehow they are more often intended than actualized. How is that so?

Halloween has passed and it’s now November, which can mean only one thing; Christmas is around the corner! But, wait. Don’t forget Thanksgiving.

It’s easy to do. Retailers provide a two-month heads-up for most major holidays and seasons. But with Thanksgiving falling between two cash cows like Halloween and Christmas, it no longer receives the attention it once did. Mr. Turkey somehow does not have the same sales appeal as Santa Claus and the Great Pumpkin. The Easter Bunny lucked out. Its holiday breaks the relative drought between New Years and Memorial Day.
