Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
There is a lot of good news being brought to our attention from all over the world, as the pandemic continues to challenge medical and political professionals. We read about heroes almost every day. Unfortunately, we also read about people and companies whose behaviors are selfish, inconsiderate, and criminal in nature. That’s how life is... Continue Reading →
A couple weeks ago, the National Hockey League (NHL) here in the United States suspended its season. The next day, the players on the team that I follow, The Pittsburgh Penguins, agreed collectively to provide the people who work at PPG Paints Arena, the salaries they would have earned in the five remaining home games....

Last week, we received a warning flier in the mail. “You’re TV Equipment is Outdated!” I’ve been getting emails about this for several months. I don’t really care. I switched to Hulu and YouTube TV over a year ago. This mailing called attention to a series of events over the next 90 days, where I... Continue Reading →

It may seem ironic for me to be posting on this subject after my typo-ridden SoCS post on Saturday, but I decided on Friday that this would be my one-liner. Faith and I drove from Connecticut to Pittsburgh to meet-up with my brother, who drove in from Iowa. We hung out for the weekend, went... Continue Reading →
Over the course of 42 years in business, I can’t begin to estimate how many sales calls-emails-faxes I’ve received, not to mention the random people who still just show up at the front door with their, “I’m in the building visiting another client…” spiel. I get it, they are in sales and this is what... Continue Reading →
If you follow my Saturday series, you may have heard me mention Corona Beer. I have come to prefer Corona over other lagers, and now I have a new reason to support the brand – the Corona “Losing Blue” can. Corona is brewed in and imported from Mexico.
