Readers Respond

Colorado success stories: Ayuda Management Corp.

Aw, this was an extremely good post. Taking the time and actual effort to produce a really good article… but what can I say… I put things off a whole lot and don't seem to get nearly anything done. By Stormy on 2013 05 19

Party of one: A five-step plan for going solo

you're article is great! I am a food service professional and am glad to say that I ALWAYS respect the solo diner, and there are things we as service professionals SHOULD do to make people feel more at ease. The best thing about your article actually comes from one of your reader's comments. I never knew that pretty solo female diners in Texas were lesbians!?!?!? How interesting! By Ta Tee on 2013 05 17

Best of CoBiz: Three smart ways to keep your work-life balance

Good advice for all of us Derek. I too read about Sheryl Sandberg's 5:30 departure. But several other articles have stated that she then returns to work, maybe from home, by 8:00 every night. Not sure I want to do this. By Gale Dunlap on 2013 05 17

Party of one: A five-step plan for going solo

This article gets an A+ Laura. It's your best one yet! Luckily I've never had a fear of dining alone. Serve me some fabulous rare prime rib and I'm glad to be in my own world. Believe me...who really wants the pleasure of in the presence of a ravenous cave woman in a feeding frenzy? Let me get my canines on gristle and fat. Tendons and ligaments don't stand a chance around me. Give me skin, marrow, and cartilage. And yeah, give me the bill. I don't mind paying. You'll get a better tip too because I'm not footing the bill for a rum guzzling dinner partner! By Pamsclams on 2013 05 16

Party of one: A five-step plan for going solo

Coincidentally, I am traveling right now and breaking an above-mentioned "solo dining rule" as I type. Instead of savoring my Coors Light at Oakland International Airport, I am writing this response. How gauche! Anyhoo, I've enjoyed all your comments. Movies alone = absolutley! Steve Martin clip - yessir! Wit and Wisdom? Well color me happy and humbled. As for dating advice...well, maybe we'll broach that topic next week, as it seemed to genrate some interest. I wasn't exactly intending for this to turn into a "dating column", but then again, stranger things have happened. Time to fly, y'all. By Chef Laura on 2013 05 16
