A red-tailed hawk smashed into the side of the house this morning. We were in the living room, waiting for our morning coffee (and waiting and waiting and waiting) and I was also busy working on an ad campaign with an advertiser when all of a sudden we heard a loud BANG. *long silence* “What [...]

In case, you haven’t heard, SOPA is the acronym for the “Stop Online Piracy Act.” It’s the government’s way of “fixing things.” In this case, it’s “online piracy.” But this bill is so tyrannical, so huge that it stretches it’s black tentacles into the utter regions of the Internet.

It’s only just a baby, but it’ll be all grown up before long. I created a new blog where I can be myself. No pressure to be glitzy, or fun, or entertaining, or pretty.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Have you noticed it yet? Have you been to Walgreens to pick up a prescription only to discover that your Express Script benefits no longer work there? The reason is failed negotiation. Express Scripts basically “wrote [...]

It’s been a remarkable winter here in Upstate New York. I think my area has had a whopping 3 inches of snowfall TOTAL. As I look out my window, the sun is shining, the grass is green… yeehaw, I think I just joined Team Global Warming. *snicker* However, the weather gurus have interrupted my reverie. [...]
