Sweet People, A year ago, I wasn't sure I'd be around. Lisa and I moved to Las Vegas to be closer to family, take desert walks in the sunshine, see every great concert we could, and deal with a serious health challenge. We said goodbye to the farm, and farewell to...
If fake news were an actual thing, instead of a political cliche, I'd doubt the story I read today in the Wall Street Journal. I used to subscribe, but I canceled because it was just too expensive - and the Washington Post and New York Times have adjusted their...
Lisa and I went to see this movie tonight. It's hard for us to agree on a motion picture these days. She doesn't like the 3 S's. Sequels, Superheroes, Spaceships. And the more a movie is hyped, the more skeptical we both become. That rules out about half of what's in...
You can't see it all. You can't know it all. You can't subscribe to everything. There is so much at our fingertips, that the biggest challenge choosing what to spend our time doing. And it's hard to know when to say when. Do I even want to find out how many hours I...
Thanks for your feedback... I read them all and try to respond when I can. Will pass on a few responses once a week or so. Let me know if you wish to be anonymous, and feel free to pontificate and not be anonymous. If you missed any of these pieces, you can visit...
Got a strange pitch from eBay today. A warning that the Supreme Court is going to force online businesses to start collecting state sales tax! What a great idea. It's a little late don't you think? Now that malls all over America have closed, or are on life support....

Keep Digging. Get the Story. If that's not the most important mission of the press, what is? Conventional wisdom was that journalists hold our leaders accountable. They are also the curators who prioritize what is newsworthy, and what is fluff. I've said since 2016...
Some days I just want to take a deep breath and thank the Universe for having me. Ever do that? When you think about it, we're only here for a short time. Modern humans evolved about 200,000 years ago. Civilization as we know it is only about 6,000 years old....
A little more than 9 years ago, my son Andrew and I were sitting at the kitchen table discussing his job prospects (or more accurately, his lack thereof). He was 23, had delivered pizza, worked for 5 minutes at a PR firm, and a few other minimum wage stints not worth...
Fame used to be for the very few. But today it is mass produced and bestowed on anyone who wants it. And just about everyone does. This is a very new phenomenon. The value of social media companies has passed 500 billion dollars and climbing Over 80% of the US...
