Living Off The Fad Of The Land

Living Off The Fad Of The Land

As 2022 winds down, the year in review and best of lists will predominate as the world (well, except me) gets ready for a two-week vacation.  What will inevitably come up will be what we became enamored with and have already forgotten, as well as what has recently emerged that is now on the upswing … Read more

The Grieving Process Continues

The Grieving Process Continues

So I actually began therapy this week, which I am sure won’t come as a surprise to any of you, and perhaps a relief to those who still give a damn.  With all of the losses I’ve experienced of late, and with absolutely no hope of changing anyone else’s deadset opinions about how (or if) … Read more

I Got Nothing TODAY

I Got Nothing TODAY

Most mornings, I usually am inspired by something in the news, whether it’s in pop culture, media or the world at large, to offer my views, insights and experiences in a manner unique to my journey and, hopefully, matter to any of you who choose to invest even a few seconds while you’re sipping coffee, … Read more

It’s Not Just You.  It’s Me.

It’s Not Just You. It’s Me.

When one experiences rejection, particularly with the frequency as I have of late, it’s often much easier to try and blame “extenuating circumstances” for one’s woes.  There’s some sort of comfort in being able to reassure yourself that “it’s not your fault”. I’ve seen that behavior exhibited in plenty of recent quarterly reports and media … Read more

Thankful?  Who, Me?

Thankful? Who, Me?

Somehow, I’ve made it to another Thanksgiving Day, and, if you’re reading this, so have you.  Thanksgiving, for me, has always been associated with family.  No matter how distant or disjointed my circumstances were at any point, I would always somehow have some family member willing to share turkey, stuffing, and my personal favorite seasonal … Read more

Can’t We All Just Pray Nice Together?

Can’t We All Just Pray Nice Together?

In media research, a common advanced study to identify audience segments is called an “only-only-both”, essentially a Venn diagram mapping of how two particular programs’ viewerships compare and contrast.  Depending upon the business objective, there is potential upside from either conclusion.  If you’re a marketer, you would hope the two shows have a large common … Read more

Death Comes In (At Least) Threes.

Death Comes In (At Least) Threes.

I wake up in the dark yet again, shaking, agitated, frustrated.  Only on this day, destined to be wet and dreary everywhere from where I am in Los Angeles to where so many wonderful people are in South Florida, I know I’m not alone. It’s Election Day 2022, and for far too many experts, pundits … Read more

Need A Lyft?  I Sure Do

Need A Lyft? I Sure Do

On many occasions when I compose these musings, I’m often doing so when it’s quite dark, quiet and the world is otherwise asleep. For those of you who are perhaps too distant or detached to know better, or even care for a millisecond about the feelings that go into this, suffice to say on many, … Read more
