I get a lot of e mail. Every day my inbox is jammed with advice on the next stock set to take off like a rocket, countless deals on retail merchandise that I simply can’t live without, notifications that I may already have won my weight in gold or a lovely consolation prize like a [...]
Nobody is ever going to mistake me for Roger Ebert. I am just not a big movie guy. I find most of the current offerings from Hollywood to be nothing but rewarmed pabulum at best. The swarthy Johnny Depp as Frank Dillinger, no thanks. A remake of the classic novel the Bad Seed set to [...]

The deception and misdirection continues. How do you keep people from focusing on the results of your current actions?

Truthfully speaking I am nothing if not cynical. The problem is that I am usually correct. I have found in most areas being cynical is almost a necessity, but none more so than when it comes to politics and the political players. Our public servants have discovered that in most cases rhetoric garners more positive [...]
So, did anything happen while I was gone? I took a week off to attend my granddaughter’s baptism and play grandpa to my grandson.
