Extra Time
Today there are fewer excuses to be unproductive than any other day in the year. For at least this one last occasion, pending the enforcement of a 2020 decision that may finally do away with this 48-state practice, we are “falling back”, and are in the middle of a 25-hour day. Regardless of what you
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,

And while I was physically in separate locations, our worlds indeed were one, and the experiences transformational. At the Infinity Festival Hollywood, which kicked off three days of in-person presentations and exhibits yesterday at the

American Television, Meet British Soccer

As part of the deflection, it was noted that there was a sort-of comedic tone to THE REAL LOVE BOAT, a reality series inspired by the light
To Infinity…And Beyond?
As regular readers know, I am absolutely driven by the concept of face-to-face interaction, COVID variants be damned. There is absolutely no valid excuse at this point in time for anyone, anywhere, unless they are actively infected to avoid the chance for connection, especially in a business sector that is evolving (some might say devolving,
Can A Bird Safely Eat A Twinkie?
Yes, that’s the first question I asked Google this morning, and I’ll try to explain why in a bit. The short answer is “yes”. Like many of you, I couldn’t avoid the news of Elon Musk officially taking over Twitter this week, either in my news alerts or on the accounts of many of my
