Read PostWhat a Welcome Home! T-Mobile style.
Now here’s my kind of way to be welcomed home. Nothing but smiles… brought to you by the connection people at T-Mobile. They managed to sneak that in with their audio logo too. Not sure that was necessary, but you still leave that commercial with a great big smile.

Read PostThe Bear – Great Storytelling…. no words
1988’s The Bear… How can you not love this 22 year old movie? The production is shot impeccably by director Jean Jacques Annaud. It’s storytelling at its best – using almost no words. And the actors? A cougar and a bear. Hard to get them to stick to their lines. PS – What a studly […]

Read PostSocial Media Sobriety Test – Not a Joke!
