Last year I discovered the work of Ken Burns. If that name is familiar it might be because of the notoriety he gained in the early 1990s with his PBS documentaries The Civil War and Baseball.

I’m a big social media user. I particularly enjoy Facebook because in my opinion it’s more personal than all of the other social media sites I use. I like that I can get to know people in a much more intimate way and that they can get to know me, too, because I’m the same […]
“There’s a special rung in hell reserved for people who waste good scotch.” If you saw the movie Inglorious Bastards, you might recall that quote. A good friend introduced me to scotch a little over a year ago. I’d never tried the drink before but was willing to give it a try when he brought […]

Facts, figures and statistics – we’re bombarded with them. We just came though another election and most of us were inundated with political ads. It’s amazing how two candidates can talk about the same facts in such different ways. Democrats touted lower unemployment and a rising stock market. Republicans debated the legitimacy of both claims […]
By now everyone in the nation and most people around the world have heard about Ferguson, Mo. The death of Michael Brown and the grand jury decision not to indict officer Darren Wilson touched off protests that quickly turned into violent riots. Whether or not officer Wilson was justified in shooting Michael Brown, one thing […]
Normally people go nuts for free stuff. It seems like ads touting “Buy one get one free,” or “25% more for free” cause shoppers to almost salivate. I bet you’ve been places where things were being given away for free and you found yourself taking items (pens, card holders, travel mugs, post it notes, etc.) […]
