I took a long stroll today along the Pacific Ocean from Waikiki's yacht basin to the Moana Hotel (where I had promised myself to get a smoothie). And found the ultimate pool at the Sheraton Waikiki.

A week after I rescured a little dove that had dropped out of its nest and no parents in sight, it is now quite the little character. After pecking around the backyard with friends that came for lunch, she looked like she needed to take a break from all the activity. So I perched her on my comput...

What do you say when your clients, the seller, asks you about advertising in a regional or special interest magazine? This just came up again recently and I would like to revisit it. (Note, we are not talking about local newspaper advertising.) First of all, I think this is something to talk abou...
