Life Is Scary as a PR Cog

In honor of Halloween, here are 11 scary confessions about my life as a PR and marketing professional. 1 – I see more of my smart phone than I do of my children. 2 – I actually consider how the lady at the drive-thru window “messaged” the fact that they were out of fries. 3 [ READ MORE ]

The Obama Blame Game, a la Spinal Tap

On Love, Life, Death and the Arts

On a recent train ride from Detroit to Chicago, I experienced one of those rare life experiences that is often called an “epiphany” by pseudo-intellectuals who are trying to sound smart or something.  I have heard this word defined many different ways over the years, from “awakening” and “enlightenment,” to “three pounds of hog fat [ READ MORE ]
