Hamhocks And Lox Still Don’t Mix

Hamhocks And Lox Still Don’t Mix

At one particular stop on my career jitney I spent  a disproportionate amount of time and an atypically large chunk of other people’s money on the late and thoroughly forgettable mashup known as FOX Family.  I’ve previously mused about how we got stuck with the name despite the lame efforts of many to find a … Read more

Trailer And Trash.

If you ever needed proof positive that we live in a world where what matters most is the ability to create something out of nothing one only need look at HARRY POTTER.   And no, I’m not referring to the skill sets they teach to him and his classmates at Hogwarts.

Time For This Toxic Relationship To End Once And For All

I’ve never quite grasped the appeal of the BACHELOR-verse, THE BACHELORETTE in particular.  I’m clearly not in the sweet spot of their target audience, the reality-obsessed female 18-49 who was ostensibly being appealed to at the outset with the promise of turning the tables on the male fantasy that the original iteration of the series … Read more
