The Monday Morning Memo

My Visits with Robert Frost

Robert Frost died when I was four, so we never met face to face, but throughout my formative years I spent an hour with him every night before I fell asleep.  Robert Frost taught me how to write.  If you will write like Robert Frost, you must approach your subject from an unexpected angle. Few […]

The Road Not Taken  BY ROBERT FROST Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claim,Because it was grassy […]

Pablos Dog

God’s Dog I sit with a bag of popcorn and watch the frantic climbers of the ladder of success. The climbers who capture my interest are the ones who consider themselves to be “clever.” But look closely and you’ll see their only “cleverness” is that they are uncommitted and disloyal. Every person is a steppingstone […]

More about Pearl

“My family adopted a homeless mutt when I was in the third grade. She slept in my bedroom until the day she died, 10 years later. Pearl was a mellow dog, laid-back and lazy, playful and fun; unless you acted as though you were going to hurt me. Then, in a horrible flash of fur and teeth, playful […]

Online Marketing 101

Above ground, in the sunlight, grain silos provide much of our daily sustenance.  Below ground, in the darkness, hides another kind of silo.  But it is not the missile silo that is killing us; people are disappearing into the bone-dry quicksand of grain silos in less than 5 seconds. “Once entrapment begins, it happens very […]

Wizards Mom_Biggest Surprise

A Boy and His Dog

The boy’s family moved into an old house in the country when he was 5 years old. The first night, there was constant barking from a dog somewhere out back. It was non-stop. Finally, for some peace and quiet, the boy was allowed to bring the dog inside. The small dog was a pitiful sight. She had […]

Last Touch Data There is a famous quote from John Wanamaker: “Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is, I don’t know which half.”  Wanamaker sent us on a quest to determine “what is working.”  It is a worthy quest.   Enter the Yellow Pages.  They figured how to twist the Wanamaker Question to […]

Email about Pendulum

Kalie, The bad news is that things will likely get worse for 3 more years before they start SLOWLY getting better. The worldwide economic blowback of Covid-19 has yet to be seen. Likewise, social unrest is likely to get worse before it gets better.  2023 is the zenith year. I really wish I had happier news. […]

Random Quote:

“I divide my officers into four classes; the clever, the lazy, the industrious, and the stupid. Each officer possesses at least two of these qualities. Those who are clever and industrious are fitted for the highest staff appointments. Use can be made of those who are stupid and lazy. The man who is clever and lazy however is for the very highest command; he has the temperament and nerves to deal with all situations. But whoever is stupid and industrious is a menace and must be removed immediately!”

- General Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord
