	Stop with the bad resume advice by Dawn Bugni - Oct, 2011 I worked with a client recently. We spoke on the phone several times before she engaged my services.

	Chuzzles, locks and roadblocks by Dawn Bugni - Jun, 2011 Ok. I admit it. I like to play Chuzzle. After a long day of ferreting out client information and formulating presentation strategies, I like mindless, no-thinking-involved entertainment. Chuzzle provides it. Briefly, you match three (or more) of the same color fuzz balls by moving the c...
	The garden and the network by Dawn Bugni - May, 2011 I worked in the yard this past weekend. Truth be told, a well-manicured lawn and perfect landscaping hasn’t been a priority for many years.
