A New York Times article addressed how “everything is for sale,” and it was looking at how celebrities are marketing their brand, among other subjects. Who knew? Who knew? Who knew That it was even possible to have Oreo cookies that are #LadyGagaInspired? #Oreos #OverTheTop #ReallyDoWeNeedThis #Wegmans #Ridiculous

They live

Talk about random. Earlier today, for whatever reason, I had been thinking about the American City Girls, a local network building, party-focused, notecard-espousing, social technology amplifying adventure I did years back with the lovely Cherie Beck. Because I've been on a mostly private, life-long mission to destroy my art and writing -- to erase it from…

Xers, the ultimate WFH-ers

GenerationsMarch 8, 20211KViews 0Likes 0Comments

GenXers (born 1961-1981) widely consider work flexibility a key component in how they manage their lives. Xers have a bottom-line accountability that includes minimizing input (hours worked, time committed to job related activities such as travel, dressing for the office, etc.) and maximizing output (results for the company, pay and compensation for them). Now the…

Maryland is amazing

We all get our small pleasures in life: the little things we enjoy simply because we enjoy them. For me, one of them is watching the birds outside my large sliding glass doors that open up to a nice vista and Lake Elkhorn beyond. I don’t know much about birds and sometimes wonder if I’d like…

Just had to

It was a moment in time. The meme world was on fire. I took advantage of it. And a friend, of their own initiation, did a nice job photoshopping me into the perfect background.

It’s baby-making time

I have a most-beautiful view from where I live. I look out over Lake Elkhorn in Columbia, Maryland. (Well, I see the lake more fully when trees have lost their summer green, as they have long since now.) I like to take full advantage of my view and spend a lot of my daylight, in-the-house hours looking…

For organizations, large and small Does your business have projects done routinely but the steps aren’t sufficiently documented? Is employee turnover slowing you down and causing lost knowledge on project tasks? Would you be more profitable if your business had more concrete, documented processes for your team to follow (and fewer missed steps and mistakes to correct)? Are…

There was a time in my life when I lived in a small group home, and when I lived there, we had visions of hosting various events, concerts, workshops and such. We did host a few events, and in the process of doing them, needed to create a checklist of activities to do to prepare…

The whole pork taboo thing. Not that I've delved into it and its origins, so much. More that I just never really saw much logic in the explanations given and meant to deny folks one of the tastier meat options on this planet. I mean, bacon, pork chops, sausage. These things are, imo, near divine…

And like that, things ended … in a Very.Big.Way.

Don’t quiz me on the details in this history video, but the overall statement was profound: a whole bunch of things throughout the the Mediterranean Sea area and Middle East — in a relatively SHORT period of time -- happened ... and no affected civilization's trajectory story was ever the same. The video tells an astounding…

My short stint as a newspaper writer

Other WritingOctober 16, 20201KViews 0Likes 0Comments

There was a brief period in my life when I wrote regular articles for a newspaper. (Note, I did not say I was a newspaper reporter; rather, a newspaper writer.) I got paid some ridiculously paltry amount of money. I mean REE-dick-you-less-ly low amount of money; I think it was $10/article. Maybe $20, though I'm pretty…

There are times when I wonder why the simple logic of things so basic, obvious and apparent to me in their need are not yet apparent to those who can make such things happen. Here’s one that boggles me: WHY, when creating a calendar event in my digital calendar, is there an option to add “travel to”…
