Housekeeping
I’m sweeping out the cobwebs in here and working to make this the central point of my words and pictures. That means moving away from Medium (I haven’t posted in years), Blogger (where I started many moons ago), Substack, and whatever new flavor of the month floats downstream.

Listen to the “Let’s Figure It Out” Podcast
I recently spoke with Deborah Munies on her new “Let’s Figure It Out” podcast. Deb and I worked years ago at an advertising agency and have kept in touch over the years via Facebook. And just like I’ve drifted away from the world of marketing towards things that I find more invigorating, so has Deb,…

It’s That Time Again…
Story deadline, which means a lot of gnashing of teeth and rubbing of hands as I try to: Figure out what to say, Figure out how to say it, Choose the photos, and Do the 100 other little things that are required. As my wife always reminds me, I stress out every time I have…
