For the past month, I have delved into the bright lights and high fashion world of TV. I have started shooting Don’t Rush Me: Th-e-e-e-e Show! Well, it’s sort of like a TV show, but it ain’t. It’s really an internet show shot at our new ‘TV? like studio for our family of 411.com sites […]
We media types love (with a capitol LOVE) it when a ‘new? disease is discovered somewhere in the world. It has probably been that way since the beginning of the modern era of journalism. When I first tried my hand at writing ‘Don’t Rush Me? (about a quarter-century ago) the ‘newest? disease was AIDS. There […]
When I harken back to those joy-filled days of my youth, my recollections of Halloween are sketchy at best. I admit, I find this kind of disheartening because I like to think my memory is razor sharp. And, while I’m still holding to my belief of a good memory, I’m putting an asterisk next to […]
I can tell this is gonna be a rough period in my life. I can see into the future and behold a time of turmoil, grief and — oh yes, election time politics. I hate politics. I don’t trust, admire or really like politicians and their bureaucratic brethren who run government. I also feel very […]

Just last week I ranted — and yes, it was a rant so I won’t try to make it sound pretty. Well, maybe rant is prettying it up . . . okay, I whined about the newest sensation in American fairness — cumulative voting. If you didn’t read it (shame on you), the gist was […]

The bidding was hot and furious for the North Oakland Headwaters Land Conservancy’s 4th annual benefit auction. ‘It looks like we brought in $29,000,?
