SURRENDER CELEBRATION FOR GIVING UP
February 5, 2024 by
Surrender celebration starts after you’re done. Whatever it was you were working on, when it’s done, you’re done. You’re not going to make anything better at some point. That’s when you need to know how to walk away.
BRANDED BLOGGER: WHO IS ON BRAND
January 28, 2024 by
Every branded blogger works their site like a farmer. They prep the page, sew the seeds (words,) and irrigate. But the best branded bloggers do more than irrigate. They irritate. It goes like this:
OLD WRESTLERS NEVER DIE
January 6, 2024 by
Old wresters, new wrestlers, parents, coaches, and Team Moms, over 8500 of them, packed Oregon State’s Gil Coliseum Friday evening. The locals said it was the biggest crowd in years, that the only fanbase comparable show up for women’s basketball. Why did so many come out for a sport with low attendance in most parts […]
NOW WHAT? GREEN FATIGUE POWER
January 2, 2024 by
Another year? Now what? I gave the most important Christmas present this year, one that will resonate in eternity, or maybe through January.

LAST POST BEFORE 2023 WRAPS
December 31, 2023 by

But what about the end-user, the audience, you know, The People I like to call ‘the rest of us?’ We still matter since the ‘I’m paying attention’ economy is based on time, not money. No money for those […]
BAY BOY: FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO COOS BAY WATER
November 5, 2023 by
One or my favorite writers traveled across the country from California to New York. He called the Hudson “the river of his birth” which got me going. You can tell if you have a favorite author if they ‘get you going.’ I thought of the river of my birth, except it wasn’t a river. It […]
