Since the events in Pennsylvania on Saturday, I followed a strict adherence to the 24-hour rule. I came to only one firm, instant conclusion. Too many nuts. Too many guns. And that is my conclusion. Beyond that, the whole event is starting to sound like the average school shooting. The alleged gunman was a confused and bullied 20-year-old (like Dylan Klebold) who decided to take his frustration and anger out on the world. So he borrowed a legal firearm from one of his parents, like Adam Lanza did, and he went hunting for an outlet. And he found one. |

| Once upon a time, there was a straightforward dress code when it came to your 9-to-5: A suit in gray or navy with a pair of oxfords was always a good bet. Think Mad Men, The Wolf of Wall Street, and Up in the Air. Nowadays, however, there's more of a laissez-faire attitude around office wear, thanks to the rise of business casual. And one of the trickiest parts of the style to nail is business casual shoes. |

| Throughout my childhood, every parent-teacher conference was a variation on a theme: I wasn't working up to my potential. Every single authority figure told me I needed to apply myself. It was a source of frustration for all of us, even before I was old enough to notice that "apply yourself" is about as helpful a piece of advice as "be taller." What does it mean? Should I spend more time in front of the textbooks I'm struggling to read? Should I stare at the same paragraph harder? Should I do twice as much of the thing I can't do? Three times as much? When you're young, you don't know that "apply yourself" has, itself, no practical application. I knew it as a polite version of "lazy" or "undisciplined." I didn't think I was those things, but the people in authority sure seemed to, so I began to believe them. I didn't realize what ADHD was doing to my life until way into middle age. But I got better, and you can too. |
