My favorite piece of the year, it got me so much sweet email. And of course while the title says it's about beauty in women, it's really about beauty in general. We have so much in common. We all feel unappreciated, and left out. No one likes being talked-down-to by others, but it's especially humilating when a member of the opposite sex does it. Women have so much more power today than they did in the past, but do they use it wisely? We're getting close to the end of a year, which means we're getting close to a new year. When we flip the page, let's try to create more win-wins and not be so picky about who we get help from. If someone offers a hand in friendship, try to take it, even if it isn't exactly the person you wanted it from, or on exactly the terms you wanted it.  

Don Park has a unique idea about selling laptops at retail. 

Betsy Devine is cooking Thanksgiving dinner, a complex affair, back in Cambridge. I'm sure her dinner will be very cool.
