Musings, Notes and Quotes. Wednesday, January 16, 2013. Super Bowl advertising peek. Dear readers, how could I have ignored you?

Another consistent advertiser is Doritos, who plans a seventh straight "Crash the Super Bowl" contest. Goodby, Silverstein and Partners, San Francisco, is the involved agency.

http://musingsnotesquotes.blogspot.com/2013/07/endless-summers.html
Musings, Notes and Quotes. Saturday, July 6, 2013. A story in this morning's Wall Street Journal. Coupled with our family vacation of last week put me in a reminiscing mood- thoughts of summers long past and how different those summers were compared to today's summers as an adult, father and grandfather. Article lamented the difference between those long-ago summers for we Baby Boomers and the summers of today's youth, and how we made those summers of the '60s seemingly last forever. I contrast the summe...

Musings, Notes and Quotes. Friday, February 8, 2013. Oh, the joys of air travel. Perhaps it's the curmudgeon in me but, seriously, can the world of business travel get much worse? It wasn't that long ago that one actually was offered a meal on a plane- a bad meal, mind you, but a meal nonetheless. Now, airlines begrudgingly offer drinks and perish the thought of bartering for a small bag of stale pretzels or peanuts that no one eats unless they fly more than three hours one way. The TSA agent who recentl...

Musings, Notes and Quotes. Sunday, September 1, 2013. Social media: The picture window to TMI. I must admit that I'm more frequently having conversations with myself about all of the snarky things I could post in response to this self-absorbed blathering. Here's a random sample:. Yeah, that sounds pretty tasty. My wife's got some Spam in the frying pan and is planning to serve that over a bed of Rice-A-Roni. Now.that's good eatin'! It sure must be nice to have a child who's *#%! Is that the name of that ...

http://musingsnotesquotes.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Musings, Notes and Quotes. Saturday, March 30, 2013. The best shows for dudes. A well-known sports columnist, who used to reside in Kansas City, tweeted out his top ten list of all-time favorite TV shows. His list inspired me to think about which shows are the best for guys, in a television environment where programming focused on men is limited given the impact that sports has against this crowd. Here's my top 10 list:. 1 Sons of Anarchy. Are there better shows on TV? 6 Game of Thrones. Don't forget, th...

Musings, Notes & Quotes: January 2014
http://musingsnotesquotes.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Musings, Notes and Quotes. Thursday, January 2, 2014. I find it interesting that the past few days have brought many a column and opinion piece on what we should leave behind from 2013, including words and phrases that have far out-worn their welcome. Today's Wall Street Journal. Featured a piece where prominent CEOs provided input on what business terms should go bye-bye. And, an online column from Esquire. Can we please- PLEASE- stop using this word as a throw-away, easy substitute for "dislike? I know...
