Looking for a place to live in Seattle isn’t that easy. It’s not just because the vacancy rate on rentals is impossibly low right now and every rental seems to have multiple bidders, but because it’s tough to find just the right place. I admit that...

In the world of marketing, communication, public relations and the web, the big buzz word these days is “story.” What is the story? How do we tell our story? Is there a story to tell? The buzz list goes on and on. Stories are hip these days. I, of course,...

I have a confession to make. While I love to read, I don’t read fiction. Over the span of my lifetime, I have perhaps read less than 50 books that were fiction. I managed to make it through The Old Man and the Sea but never could mount an assault on any one of...

My memoirs have brought back a lot of memories for me and it’s been fun to share them with the world, including my friends, many of whom are in it, usually for good reasons. While I was still in Port Orchard, living the vida loca in Washington State, I started...

I did one of my rare shopping trips to the grocery store recently. I guess I haven’t been to a store for a while. Either that, or it’s the first time I noticed that there was a container of sanitary wipes by the shopping carts. Well, not sanitary wipes,...
