I have missed you… it does seem I enjoy the recorded live conversation more than writing. Writing is hard, and I'm always second guessing and even 37th guessing myself. So I'll keep this brief and hit "send' before I have time to think about it. I'm a little bummed...
When I moved from Seattle back to New England I knew I'd be leaving one of the most technologically advanced and prosperous places on Earth. What I wasn't prepared for was how different life is in rural America. Vermont is beautiful. Land and homes are cheap. People...
If someone had told you 15 years ago that everyone who had a phone would also have their own global multimedia production facility, and their own channel to broadcast whatever they want to say to the world, it would have seemed far fetched. But that’s where we are....

Barbra Streisand speaks only for herself. Not all Democrats, or all women, or people with big noses. She has a right to her opinion. Some people agree with her. Some don’t. Donald Trump is making me gain weight. I start the day with liquids, but after the morning...
This is not up for discussion. It’s an indisputable fact. The legendary Pepe’s Pizza of New Haven, CT is the best in the world. Google it. I’m not alone. It’s famous world wide. Seriously it would be the only reason I can think of you’d want to even go to New Haven....
