Elvis, Bruce, Jimmy and Frank
For more than a year, I have followed the news of the XM-Sirius merger. I have had XM radio for nearly six years now and really looked forward to getting the best of both services. The first sign came a […]
Very Sneaky Starbucks
I have made the trip to Starbucks a couple of times recently to do some writing. Last week, after I had ordered my caramel latte, I noticed something called the gingersnap latte on the menu. That can’t be gingercrack, I […]
Hard to Keep Quiet
