But more importantly, I'm going to start featuring some shorts from time to time here and I'm adding it to the menu so... Continue Reading →

Hustled on the Side
In my previous writing life I was a reporter and one of my areas of focus was the economy and the job market. Now there are a lot of ways you can approach that subject, but since I was writing for the Connecticut Post and a couple other papers, I liked to remember that I... Continue Reading →
New Logo — at least for now
After some discussion with my marketing guru, it was decided I needed to change the logo and the site identifier for my website to a photo of my mug. I can't say I'm thrilled with it. I've never been really happy with photos of myself, probably some sort of disconnect between my mental picture of... Continue Reading →
