Oh, So NOW He’s Interesting?
Throughout my career I’ve been blessed with top-down support from the various chairpersons and CEOs I’ve had the opportunity to work with. Sometimes that didn’t sit all that well with the more thin-skinned folks that I actually reported into, but the nature of my responsibilities often put me into direct contact with their superiors and

To Me, She’s The Katz’ Meow
A few of you more ardent followers and readers have observed that I do tend to lean more than a tad negative of late. And after a day where the leader of the free world literally stunk up the internet and airwaves with perhaps one of the most nauseating combinations of press conferences and releases

Have A Great Weekend. Unless, Of Course, You Work For Yosemite Zas
For the most part, I truly do envy those that are fortunate enough to still be working in positions of importance in media. Considering where I am at this particular moment, that envy escalates greatly. There’s only so much impact and pleasure one can get from what I do, and lately even those sporadic moments

G, Here’s A Pitch You May Have Not Considered To Deal With Tanking

I came of age in the ’70s, so I do tend to take my lead from time to time from the cultural influences of that era. And yesterday being what it was in the obviously not climate-affected urban sprawl I call home, I was in need of some sort of distraction, and unlike most days

A Bridgerton Too Far?
I sure hope your Valentine’s Day was a lot more satisfying than mine. Once again, it was reduced to a virtual experience for me, long after both COVID and my alibi for a marriage had their expiration dates. At least there’s someone in my life who actually wished that to me and meant it, which

They’re Still Raking In Tons Of D-Oh!
There’s honestly not a lot that’s the same about the world as it was in the winter of 1989. Per MACROTRENDS, gas was $1.o3 a gallon. Today–if you’re lucky and obviously not in California–it’s $3.20. A dozen eggs, even with all of the “winning” we’ve experienced in the last 13 months, are still $2.86–and yes,
