The Great Poetry Auction

As soon as I actually find a rhyme for orange, I'm going to hold an on-line auction and invite all the world's poets to bid. It will be a blind auction, because if I tell you the word, I won't be able to make a nickel. A lot of details still have to be worked out.

Meanwhile, I will post musings about communications, especially marketing communications, which is my field.

Here's a quick bio:

Born 1951. BA in Sociology (the major with the fewest required courses). Brief journalism career, followed by many years in PR, advertising, and marketing. (Much less work, pays a lot better than journalism.) Married, divorced, married again this time for good. No kids. Two cats. Mortgage.

I get cranky about things like the serial comma -- see upcoming post -- failure to use spell check, poorly executed PowerPoint slides hows, low standards of quality, contempt for one's audience, and preaching when done by anyone besides myself. That's a start.

This blog will also highlight good things, including books worth reading, websites worth bookmarking, and other resources to help mitigate the various wrongs above.
