The Man Song Gets a Live Action Video Starring Sean Morey

January 19, 2012 By Linda Sherman 10 Comments

I expect to live longer because I have a funny husband. I love his style of humor. Ray's jokes are always topical, contextual and spontaneous (as opposed to the “let me tell you this one” variety). He is smart and quick. He doesn’t use shock language and his jokes are never mean. I lead an … [Read more...]

Gratitude at Thanksgiving – My Top 10

November 27, 2008 By Linda Sherman 12 Comments

I learned a lot about being thankful back in the day with Werner Erhard. Acknowledging how great my life already is instead of waiting for it to turn out has given me many happy, satisfied years.

I loved BlogHer. That may make me entirely uncool but I don't care. From the Thursday night parties to the end of the Unconference on Sunday, I found it exhilarating being surrounded by women who write. Having 1,000 women in one hotel entirely changes the experience for all the guests. I think … [Read more...]

When I talk about independence with my female friends, what we mean is that we are very much OK on our own. I adore my husband, Ray Gordon, but … [Read more...]

Humor, Sex and Verbal Jousting

May 5, 2008 By Linda Sherman 10 Comments

Coors holds a very special place in my heart. I loved working there because the beer business is fun and they treated their people very well. However, I quickly learned that being an executive for a beer company meant being able to take humor like a man. I have not been in a mens locker room but … [Read more...]

The Thrill of Competition and Trying Harder

April 8, 2008 By Linda Sherman 19 Comments

The question has often been asked, are men more competitive than women? It seems reasonable to believe that generally we are competitive in different areas. Certainly living in different cultures affects our competitive nature. Competition can be defined as related to risk-taking, tendency to … [Read more...]
