Not me.  Not on purpose, that is. I’ve done it by accident. I’d just finished with my 4 month business incubator and had a brand spanking new biz plan in my lap.  It was heavy, so I did what I always do when facing a life transition.  Road trip.  I packed an overnight bag, just in case, and headed north. My first stop was a labyrinth in West Bend.  I’m a fan and had been looking for a new one to check out so it seemed as good a place as any.  If you like your labyr... Read More

I love "Celebrity Ghost Stories".  There, I've said it. They don't try to prove or disprove the existence of ghosts.  They are just well trained storytellers telling their ghost stories. I'm in heaven! Okay, okay -- the subtitle could more accurately be "Hollywood Sees Dead People" (which I totally ripped off from Saturday Night Live - and which you can see on hulu.)  but hey, what a perfect sentiment.

Hey Baby. What’s your totem? For a number of my friends and acquaintances, that would be the perfect pick up line.  Being of Native American descent, I’ve already found my spirit animal - the Bear.  Tooling around on the interwebs, I also found this fun on-line quiz.  I was a bit skeptical, but the quiz did come up with the correct spirit animal.  Oh me of little faith.  Jeri Smith-Ready posted the quiz on her blog to draw attention to her novels, but the quiz is cool t...

To me, the words ‘trade show’ conjure images of zombie-like packs of business people prowling around a convention center clutching one of those plastic vendors bags. They stop at every booth and grab all the swag they can, while assiduously avoiding eye contact. You know what I mean.  You’ve been there, too.  Later, after the fugue wears off and you sort your booty, reason returns and the questions begin.  What are you going to do with all this useless crap? Why do you have that b... Read More
