Midlife Or Otherwise, This Will Get You Through A Crisis
It’s been one of THOSE weeks, one that’s had a disproportionate amount of pressure and emotional turmoil. Plus a few of the teams that I follow with some emotional investment saw their post-seasons end, meaning the ability for me to find some sort of escape hatch with them is gone for the summer. So trust

We Know What’s The Best Way To Bridge The Generation Gap. And No, It’s Not THAT One.
I’ve made a career out of studying and knowing as much as possible about folks from generations other than mine, and I wouldn’t be alive without the connections to folks significantly younger than me. Plus, much like my dad was, I’m blessed with a somewhat youthful-looking face that now that’s it’s unencumbered by greying hair

When You’re Not Writing “Great Expectations”, You Shouldn’t Have Them.
Were it not for the breaking news that dropped yesterday from THE WRAP’s Josh Dickey, I would still have missed a story that originally dropped more than a month ago that I frankly found pretty intriguing. So my bad, Sharon Waxman, for overlooking the expose your Umberto Gonzalez offered on March 20th which kicked off

Only Matches In This Building, Eh?
Let’s not fool ourselves. This wasn’t the biggest story in media yesterday by a long shot. But I do know who many of my readers are and to them it was a big deal. And to me, it threw me enough of a curveball to remind me of how much things have changed, so anything

Even A Blind Squirrel Finds A Nut Once In A While
Contrary to the knee-jerk reactions of an unfortunately growing constituency of what I would have liked to think were friends of mine who immediately paint me as some sort of right-wing lunatic gone mad, I really don’t like the current leader of what at least for now is the free world. For perhaps the 100th

What’s The Missing Link On LinkedIn? Ironically, Connection.
His name is Maurizo Grazzi, and I suppose I owe him a sincere apology. My bad, good sir. It’s the end of a month, and as regular readers of these musings pro’ly know by now, I tend to get a bit surlier than usual ’round these times. Something about when one’s net worth drops to

In More Ways Than Ever, Cleveland Rocks!!!
It’s a good day to be a fan of Cleveland sports teams, and it’s not simply because their conference champion basketball team, the Cavaliers, absolutely destroyed the Miami Heat in South Florida by the almost embarassing score of 124-87, giving them a virtually insurmountable 3-0 lead in their first round best-of-seven NBA playoff series. That

Take It From Me, Not Every Dinner Needs A Comedian
I do have some empathy for Eugene Daniels, as on a somewhat smaller scale I’ve been in his shoes. Daniels is the current president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, a side hustle with an industry trade organization that compliments his current role with MSNBC and his legacy with POLITICO. Without question, their most public-facing

CBS= Constantly Buying Spin-Offs?
Amidst all of the other distractions surrounding CBS these days, several of which we’re still being castigated for daring to muse about, there still remains the more mundane chore of actually setting a strategic course for what is still the most watched single media destination (sorry, You Tube, you’re a platform). And if one happens
