| | | Work with your sweetie? | | Posted Monday, November 13, 2006 7:10:57 PM by Blog57 Team | | About 1.2 million husband-and-wife teams (called "co-preneurs" by some) run American companies, according to American Management Services Inc., a Boston-based small-business consulting firm. And about 80 percent of all the country's companies are family-owned in some form, accounting for 60 percent of total U.S. employment, 78 percent of all new jobs, and 65 percent of wages paid. If you see your significant other at work and home, here are some ways to separate those segments. • Drive to work in separate cars sometimes. Carpooling is great, but it might be more important to take a much-needed respite from each other. • Have separate offices. • Plan romantic outings and vacations where you agree not to talk about work.... | |

| | | Scott brings the beauty of France Provence region to screen | | Posted Friday, November 10, 2006 11:36:56 AM by Blog57 Team | | Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe, who teamed up for the brutally violent spectacle "Gladiator" in 2000, have collaborated again. This time it's a quirky little romantic comedy about wine, women and savoring life. That's no misprint. "A Good Year" (opening today) represents a respite, of sorts, for the director best known for action movies. Crowe, who took home a best actor Academy Award for "Gladiator," portrays Max Skinner, a ferocious, very successful London bonds trader. When he inherits a small vineyard and estate in the Provence region of the South of France, Max takes a few days off to go sell the place. Once there, though, memories of idyllic summer vacations spent in Provence as a child with his Uncle Henry (impeccably played in flashbacks by Albert Finney) begin to make this shark of the London bank business question his purpose in life.... | |

Or more accurately, we won't. You see, we've never been much for the traditional trappings of romantic relationships. He's never bought me flowers. We don't exchange those daily phone calls updating one another on what we ate for dinner. I'm not interested in a wedding ring and he's not interested in putting one on my finger. .... | |

| | | Verdict is in: Lawyer loves marathons | | Posted Wednesday, October 25, 2006 7:20:31 AM by Blog57 Team | | More than a decade ago, lawyer Jan Luck of Minneapolis began running to get in shape and lose weight. She stuck with it because of the sense of accomplishment and camaraderie with other runners, especially those at the back of the pack. She also set a goal: to run 50 marathons by age 50. She figured she had plenty of time. She was 37 then. She is 48 now. "Last year, I looked at the calendar. I was at number 20. I started stepping it up. When you say it (a goal) out loud, it becomes, 'Oh man, they're counting on me.' If I don't do it, then what am I going to do? One hundred by 100? "I just finished the 40th. I did the Leading Ladies Marathon from Lead, S.D., to Spearfish, S.D. It is women only. Every water stop had chocolate. There were lemon-scented towels, limos back to the hotel, massages.... | |

| | | Relationships that end often leave us wondering why | | Posted Sunday, October 22, 2006 7:19:14 AM by Blog57 Team | | She stood next to me on my wedding day. She dropped everything to be by my side for a week after I was in a tragic car accident.She always knew what to say and, more important, when to say it.But over a period of a few months after nearly a decade of friendship -- which included thousands of daily e-mail messages, hundreds of phone calls, nearly a dozen romantic breakups between the two of us, and several gabfest, girls-only vacations -- she disappeared from my life without an explanation.I once thought we had been through so much together nothing could ever come between us. Now I'm left alone, silently wondering what I said wrong or what I didn't do right, wishing I could take back whatever I did.Turns out, I'm not alone. Many women have a tale of some kind of friendship breakup, often a significant one like mine that goes unexplained, leaving a void that's hard to fill.Had it been a romantic break-up, I might not have suffered in silence.... | |
