It’s Nothin’ Personal
Read more: It’s Nothin’ PersonalWas thinkin’ ’bout how much we depend on email & online interaction these days – then my mind wandered off, as usual, to related tangents, like daily tasks & it turned into a stinkin’ post. My bad but here goes: It’s so easy to fire off an email instead of making a phone call. I do it…

Botox & Fried Baloney
Read more: Botox & Fried BaloneyIt’s the 2nd day of the new year & most resolutions have already tanked. Didja make any? I’ve never understood the idea behind resolving to change or improve on a certain date. Why January 1st? Really, any time of year is appropriate. I quit smoking every single day! Boy do I feel better. Every year people say…

Hemingway’s Favorite CatHouse
Read more: Hemingway’s Favorite CatHouseLet’s see a show of hands …. Has everyone read Hemingway? He’s famous for a half dozen or so works plus short stories. Do you think THE OLD MAN & THE SEA was worthy of the Pulitzer Prize (1953) or the Nobel Prize (1954)? I count ‘Papa’ among my favorites, one notch below Steinbeck, so when I had…

Motivated To Do It Again
Read more: Motivated To Do It AgainDeb took this picture the day BAD LATITUDE was delivered. This was the first batch. Funny I didn’t think twice about reader reaction, even after these babies showed up. Never thought much about promotion or having to “talk the book up”, or “create buzz” either.

Hall Monitors
Read more: Hall MonitorsRemember Archie & Edith singing “Those Were The Days”? Me too, but nostalgia ain’t my thing. Paging through my high school yearbook the other day made me think about how fast this life flies by. Actually, that’s a total lie, I never thought any such thing – it was more like – ‘geez, look at that mop of hair!’ Now it’s my…

“Oh By The Way”
Read more: “Oh By The Way”Deb cringes anytime I start a conversation with “Oh By The Way” – Dunno why. I have a project coming up in South Florida soon. Late this past Friday afternoon I decided to make a quick trip on Monday to check things out in person. Too many questions. Too much design guesswork & I needed…
