All day I thought of my to-do list which is a mile long. Well, let me rephrase. Occasionally, throughout the day, I thought I should get some checkmarks onto my yellow pad of itemized to-do items. I thought about. Then sent about ten emails. Then I did one […]
A long time ago. So long ago, that I cannot remember exact details, I watched a comedy skit for a clean up service that stayed in my mind. It percolated. It might have been a Saturday Night Live skit. It was selling a service for when you die. […]
In most of my email correspondence, I’m rather polite and somewhat sunny. I wish people a good day, morning, Friday eve and so forth. It’s fluff. Not straight to the point. However, you get a little bit more buy in when you start off with warmer pleasantries than […]

When the television show the Flash first came, I loved it. Brought new energy. New story lines with good arcs. A surprise villain. A good recipe for a new show in a franchise. It has not outlasted its companion shows (other then DC Legends) but I barely recognize […]
My mother was an extremely superstitious person. She also was a prankster. Today, April 1st, combines both of those qualities of hers. For me, today serves as a day of remembrance. First, let me start out with a shout out to “Rabbit, Rabbit”. On the first of every […]
