FAME AND FORTUNE, BLOG WRITING ADVICE

Fame and fortune and blog writing? Slow down there word-slinger. Start with writing, then a blog. What about fame and fortune? What about it?

TAPPHORIA TAP HOUSE AT TEN YEARS

There’s good news and bad news: The good news: Tapphoria Tap House is a mile away from my house. The bad news: A mile away and I’ve walked it. They couldn’t be any closer. The best news? Ten years in, baby.

EVERYDAY BLOGGER ON EVERYDAY TOPICS

An everyday blogger needs to stay sharp to what’s happening around them. If they don’t pay attention, they won’t be able to write a blog post. I’ve been cooking one up this morning, but I changed my routine. Instead of getting up, making tea, and sitting down to compose, I went to the gym. It […]

MARRIAGE TRAP, STARRING BEN AFFLECK

A couple in a room ignoring each other, trying to find anything to do besides talk. He reads bad news, she taps a sad note. Looks like a trap to me. But, what’s […]

FADING AWAY? NOT WHEN LOVE IS LOVE

Fading away is a constant marvel with aging baby boomers. We grew up worried about turning into our moms and dads. Now we hope we’re decent enough to resemble our grandparents. Who’da thunk it?
