Crisis communication comedy

I joined a class this morning on crisis communication for non-profits. There were some good tidbits from the lecture. I was able to get glean some useful information from the talk, and even got the slides from the presentation afterward. Here it is: I mostly like what was said, aside from the “never talk off [...]

The Sopranos: Cussing Version

This is my favorite TV show of all time. And someone went to the great task of editing out all the dialouge, except for the cuss words. I love it. (And it’s sort of amazing that you can kind of figure out what is going on just using this…) the sopranos, uncensored. from victor solomon [...]

Sorry I Missed Your Party: Chocolate Pudding Wrestling Aftermath

For the first time in a long time (well, at least since I moved back to Cincinnati in 2003), I didn’t have my annual holiday party. I moved to Mount Washington in September and generally have been not exactly loving living so far away from downtown. To boot, my apartment has walls and smaller rooms [...]

Ripley river town

Sunday evening, Melissa, Kaille and I took an impromptu trip to Ripley, Ohio – about an hour’s drive east of Cincinnati. The sun was setting, the air still somewhat heavy and warm and we were a little hungry. So, we stopped into Cohearts Riverhouse for dinner. I had not been there in several years, so [...]

Jerry Springer’s song about saving Union Terminal

Late last month a story I wrote ran in The Post that outlines serious plans – presented through the publication of a report that cost more than $800,000 to produce – to spend several million dollars both rehabilitating and preserving Cincinnati’s most recognizable landmark, Union Terminal. On top of the important preservation work, part of [...]

Back from vacation

That’s my Mom (Judy) on a flotation device in the swimming pool adjacent to the beach house I just got done spending a solid week in just outside of Destin, Fla. Went there with the whole family – Mom, Dad and my sister’s family and some of her in-laws. It was a good time. To [...]
