| The
Angry Server
By Jeremy Schmall, Contributing Columnist
I’m the server. You’re the patron. Topic #1: Tipping.
Tipping is a strange and powerful instrument. Having somehow
evolved into its current form through whatever combination of
chance and design, the tip you leave on the table has the power:
1) to light up a brilliant city of goodwill toward mankind in
your server, or 2) break the proverbial spine of even the most
bitter and calloused lifetime waitress. “But,” you might begin,
“why all this heaviness?” “It’s just a tip,” you might even find
yourself whispering, to no one, to just yourself, “One among
many.”...more

Weekend In A Windsor Wonderland
by Steve Sirk, Columbus Wired Columnist
My 19-year-old brother Tom and I headed to Canada like a bunch
of bong-fogged peaceniks withdrawing from the Selective Service
Vietnam Sweepstakes. Perhaps, in hindsight, our trip to Windsor
could have been better timed from a symbolic perspective. But
with a suite awaiting us at Casino Windsor, our concern with
symbols was narrowly focused on card suits, slot fruits, and
dollars signs...more

Celebrate by getting the family organized
Our parents’ generation
complained about the rat race, but at least in their day most
families had only one breadwinner battling a relentless agenda.
Now it seems that every family member is on the treadmill.
Infants are taking swimming lessons, toddlers are learning
gymnastics and 1st graders are going to cheerleading camps --
while older kids are keeping up with exhausting athletic, music
and tutoring schedules....more

complains on a regular basis she is bored and a father who is a
die-hard sports fan...more

| Working
Mothers Create Problems
by Wendy Lomano, contributing
columnist
Mothers who work only create
problems. I never would have said this when I worked, or even let
someone say this phrase to me at that time, without jumping on
them verbally about how awful they were to say such things. So,
let me explain my thinking. All the "problems" I feel
working mothers create are related: each is connected in some way
to the others. It's all a matter of logic, really...more

Advantages of TV?

| Pete Rose: Gambler or Narcissist?
by Dr. Richard Lustburg (2/11/03)
Many reporters and the public have recently shown increased
fascination with the problem of mental illness in athletes. This
fascination was spurred by the case of Oakland Raiders center,
Barret Robbins, who suffers from manic depression. However there
is a baseball superstar, one of the greatest legends of the
game, who also appears to suffer from a debilitating
psychological disorder. His name is Pete Rose and his
psychological condition goes largely unreported...more
