I really have every intention of posting here, really I do. But when I'm trying to post on two business blogs of my own, one client blog and assorted guest posts, lessons and tutorials...well, sitting down to write about 'me' gets overlooked. As you can surmise from ...

I Never Thought I Would…
Yesterday I did something I never thought I would do. I deleted a wall post someone left on my Facebook Wall. As someone who has been Internet savvy for a long time (I won't tell you just how long) and someone who remembers that Facebook was once the stronghold for college students to connect and ...
Back to Our Regularly Scheduled Program
First, let me apologize for not keeping up with the blog here. You'll understand my absence when I explain that I currently maintain two business blogs of my own, one for a client and then regularly contribute to two other blogs associated with another client. I think I may be in danger of getting blogged ...
A New Decade
On Twitter today there is a hashtag (#) topic called #10YearsAgo. Twitter users are sharing what they were doing when we passed from 1999 to the year 2000. In the process of trying to remember what exactly I was doing (planning a New ...

It was definitely refreshing to see gorgeous women with curves. There were things I liked about the show and things I didn't. Let's start with what irritated me... 1. What ...
Setting Sail…the end of Kennedy Camelot
No matter what you thought of his politics, his personal life or his attitude, the passing of Ted Kennedy has to leave you feeling at the very least, a bit like Sam watching Frodo sail off from the Grey Havens. (My apologies to those of you who aren't Lord of the Rings fans). The last of ...
Cruelty to Fat People- Why is this acceptable?
In case you haven't noticed, I do the Twitter thing. If you're not familiar with Twitter, it's a social media avenue that allows you to share your thoughts in 140 characters or less. One of the fun things to do on Twitter is to follow the trending topics. Trending topics are the ...
Epic Father Fail
*Warning- this post could be considered a bit of an over-share moment. It delves a bit into a not so pretty time in my life and my children's lives. I apologize if it's too dark or personal. I just had an intense need to vent* Yesterday I suddenly realized that one of my greatest problems is ...
