I have two events coming up that may be of interest. The Seattle media party this Tuesday could use a volunteer to greet people/hand out name tags at the door in case anyone’s interested (great way for shy people and new writers to meet the writers, editors, and other seasoned media peeps in attendance). If so, leave me a comment or send me an email; thanks! Also note that the rate for the Creative Freelance Conference goes up by $50 after July 15. - SEATTLE - Mediabistro cocktail party

Why are these guys smiling? Well, two of them got free rides to first and the other hit an opposite field bomb (doesn't he always do this once a series) to help propel the Rangers to a 6-4 win. Brandon Morrow was well Brandon Morrow. There were moments he would look great and others where he simply couldn't throw one in the zone even if it was worth $10,000,000 per strike. He goes 5 innings, gives up four runs, walks four guys, doesen't strikeout a batter and gives up two home runs. He now d

Each day I’m discovering more stuff I don’t really need, and am kicking myself for dragging it around all these years. Not that I plan to go beating everyone about the head and shoulders with this new-found frugality, or simplicity, or whatever it is, but like they keep saying about business in this tanked economy, once things turn around I should be in great shape.
