Category: Robb’s Books

Books by Robb Lightfoot. These range from humor, travel, and mystery writing to how-to-manuals on public speaking, intercultural and interpersonal communication as well as product reviews. His technical books are readable and distill his experiences, including “don’t do this” advice, from years, teaching, journalism, academic research, gadget-and-gearhead-tinkering, web design, and blogging.

He loves to read about and then share the stories-behind-the-stories of inventions and adoption of innovative ideas and disruptive technologies.

His varied postings can drive more-focused people a bit crazy, but each posting will be tagged to allow readers to zero in on their key interests.

Please let me know if any story here raises questions it does not answer, or if you’d like to know more about a given topic. Helpful suggestions are welcome. robbATrobblightfoot.com

I ponder, and Lucy comes over. Big brown eyes look deeply into mine, and she puts her Anatolian-Shepherd head on my knee. Maybe she’s been reading my mind. It’s been a tough year, and I’m wondering just how generous I can afford to be. Most of the kids are out of the house, so the fussing volume has subsided. I can stop and reflect on the economics of gift-giving. Maybe I can dial it back a bit, but then there’s this dog and its sustained stare…..
