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.

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
