They just don’t make ‘em like that anymore. If you live in California, that’s what you’ll say about a gas-powered car beginning in 2035. If you were ever a fan of some of the sitcom offerings that held their 30-minute weekly primetime slots back in the ‘70’s, you would remember the All in the Family […]

For the balance of this week, the retail consumer marketing thrust will continue to play off the “dads and grads” tag. Honoring young scholars is often easier than figuring out what to do about old fathers. Mother’s Day is much safer; most folks have warm feelings about their mom memories. Sadly, the adverse is true

The next few weeks will pull us all into focus, on the family. Moms will get the shout-out on May 12th; dads will be similarly celebrated a month later, on June 16th. Meanwhile, students will end their year of academic emphasis while graduates among them will mark the completion of a stage of study that

America is currently in a highlight funk. Football season ended with the Super Bowl. Baseball season is just getting into its groove. No fireworks until the Fourth of July.

This has been an extraordinary week of action… My initial inclination was to focus attention on Scottie Scheffler’s

Last Monday was an epic moment; the real-time of the solar eclipse was about five minutes – depending on where you were standing in relationship to the positions of the sun and the moon – but millions of people organized their day around catching a glimpse of the phenomenon that will not recur in the
