Talking Breakfast with the Sun Back in 2011 — doesn’t that seem ages ago? — my family and I had a glorious 10 days in southern California. Both business, so that I could attend BlogHer, and pleasure, so that we could visit some of the sights and sounds of southern California. I was back...

I can just about remember it. It was strong. Robust even. Hearty. Reliable. Made of solid stock. Never let me down. What am I talking about? Why my FIOS internet, of course. I loved it so. I’d log on to the dining room computer or my office computer and in 1, 2, 3 seconds I...

I’ve been a little quiet lately. Not quiet on Facebook. No, I’m never quiet on Facebook. Quite the contrary. I’m kind of a talking machine on Facebook.
