On LinkedIn, mine is LMNOP. Yes, that is the suffix after my name which requires explanation.
You don’t know me, but I consider myself to be pretty much of a smart-ass. Not smart as in intelligent or wise, but smart as in stinging dry and occasionally intellectual wit with scarcely a hint of sheer insanity.
I’d noticed many of my connections on LinkedIn have a plethora…

United States Postal System Gets Real
I recently discovered something that impressed me about the United States Postal Service, USPS. Yes, there are many chronic problems even before the Trump White House did their best to make it worse. Slow delivery is still rampant, and unfortunately, something which should be as fundamental as mail delivery has…
Why I played COVID-19 differently

I have a need for speed.
Besides the basics, oxygen, water, and food, there are two other elements which many would consider as basics in modern society: electricity and the internet.

Stop unwanted phone call solicitations
No one wants to be interrupted by an unwanted phone or text solicitation. Life’s far too busy to deal with that. Add your name to the Do Not Call Registry to eliminate unwanted calls and texts. Even though it’s been around for a while, many have yet to take advantage of this.
Unfortunately, some companies do not honor your request, so it’s up to you to report them. It will take time but it’s the only way to stop them. Plus, you should also block those calls on your mobile device.
You can register your phone number in the USA, check to see if you’re already registered, and report any unwanted calls. A little time now will benefit you in the future. Other countries also have a registry.

COVID-19 will still be around next year
I know my subtitle really sucks, but it is the predicted reality. Typically, 1 January starts off a new year with a completely clean slate of the previous year’s sins and disasters. That’s not going to happen when the clock strikes midnight, closing out 2020. We’ll still deal with masks…
