Yesterday afternoon, as I met with a representative from the Alliance for Positive Health to discuss our involvement with their annual event,* Dine Out for Life, I learned that we had received a voice mail cancelling a reservation for that night. It seems that the caller had reconsidered spending their money in my business because … Continue reading Marching, standing and drinking with Planned Parenthood

American pride
Saturday was a remarkable day. The sun was shining, the photocopier at Staples worked correctly, and there was no line to use self-pay at the grocery store. All good things. Additionally, there was a protest march thing going on down by Albany's state Capitol, which was kind of big. Actually, it was fairly huge and … Continue reading American pride

Not a bad thing at all, unlike that time when I washed my face with the … Continue reading Coming clean
