The holidays bring an endless round of obligations at work and at home: client annuals, cards to send, presents to buy, entertaining, [...]

August 2nd, 2011 No Comments
Seems like Summer just started, but did some Back to School Shopping last weekend. I also do my Christmas shopping early and I do my back to school shopping early…or so I thought. Many retailers and advertisers moved up the start of their sales and marketing campaigns devoted to children’s clothing, stationery, computers and other [...]

January 5th, 2011 No Comments
One thing you can count on the beginning and end of every NEW YEAR… “LISTS”. Lists of best dressed, worst dressed, sexiest man, richest woman. I just want to share my list of what I feel are some of the stupidest blunders of 2010. I’m keeping it to my top three so as not to bore [...]

Tis the season

Thanksgiving Day is tomorrow and in America it is a time to offer thanks, of family gatherings and holiday meals. A time of eating too much turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. A time for football, holiday parades and giant balloons in the shape of cartoon characters. It’s also the time the mayhem starts to set [...]

Heard some crazy stories about some of the Homecoming festivities. Some good kids making bad decisions. Scares the crap out of me. As parents we can only hope the values we’ve instilled in our children will protect them and they can fight against the peer pressure that is the constant companion of a teenager. I just [...]

Political Correctness is OUT OF CONTROL
October 22nd, 2010 No Comments
I don’t feel this is the proper forum for me to spout my political beliefs. And, just because I embedded an O’Reilly video, don’t think I agree with everything he rants on about. Some I do, some I don’t. I do, however, feel a grave injustice was done this week. Freedom of Speech is one of [...]

For 68 days, much of the world’s thoughts and prayers were with these 33 men who were trapped 2,000 feet below the surface.

Consider where and when to multi-task
June 30th, 2010 2 Comments
Life for most of us today is all about multi-tasking. We’ve Blackberry-iPhone-iPad-Facebook-Tweet crazy. I just received this story via email. Made me laugh out loud. Sometimes we just need to sit back and focus on one thing at a time. The other stall: Traveling down the interstate and needing to use the restroom, I stopped [...]

Mayhem for Allstate
June 25th, 2010 No Comments
I love this campaign. I think these are powerful commercials that will have tremendous recall. Dark humor, but creative for this generally very conservative company. As the cliche says, “Accidents happen”. This campaign effectively illustrates that fact and also the message that still speaks to this brand, “Are you in good hands?” I applaud this [...]
