Executive wheels: A car to love
There are many reasons I was so impressed right off the bat, but the chief one was that since the Mazda3 is a high-mileage vehicle – rated 29 mpg city/40 mpg highway – I expected it to be under-powered. Wrong. It is a pocket rocket – the 2.5-liter, 184-hp four-banger feels like a V6 with a whole l...

The futurist: Why who you were no longer matters
Each morning, as I brush my teeth, I barely recognize the person in the mirror staring back at me.

Even though you are learning new things quickly, not much else really mattered. By the time you enter grade school, you have learned to walk, talk, feed yourself, a...
Executive wheels: Toyota sticker shock
The truth is, I really like all three vehicles – I like the way they drive, the visibility, power, roominess and styling.

Stop living at the corner of burn-out and overwhelm
I have had many clients over the years who find themselves mucking through a mid-life crisis because of being stretched so thin they can barely see straight, let alone keep their identity intact. According to Webster, the definition of energy is your capacity for action. When your capacity for act...
