Photo by Geetanjal Khanna on Unsplash Hope without action is just a wish. And unlikely to happen. Reminds me of one of my favorite sayings, "Wish in one hand, shit in the other. See which one fills up faster." A rare semi-deep thought for Linda G. Hill's Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt: Your Friday prompt…

Baseball Hats and Other “H” Words Stream of Consciousness Saturday #SOCS
I can't wear a baseball hat. That's the first thing I thought of when I saw today's prompt from Linda G. Hill's Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt (which I did write on Saturday, but didn't publish for no good reason): Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “hat/het/hit/hot/hut.” Choose one, choose ’em all, put…
Keep On Driving – Stream of Consciousness Saturday #SCOS
Drive on. The Johnny Cash song popped into my head immediately on reading this week's prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday from Linda G Hill:. Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “drive.” Use it any way you’d like. Have fun! It's a sad, bitter, maybe even bittersweet, song about surviving Vietnam. It's also…
Allow Me to Collect Myself SoCS
Is collect calling even a thing still? After rewatching both Deep Space 9 and Star Trek: The Next Generation last year and earlier this year, we have better comms tech than their stupid badges -- though the audio was always good. Plus, why did they always have those dinky-ass hand-held flashlights when exploring a dark…
Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner – Stream of Cosciousness Saturday #SoCS
After a long hiatus caused by nothing more than laziness and too much staring at the TV (and a few actual life stresses), going to give SoCS another go this year. After all, these are fun to "write" -- your mileage on reading may vary. As you may have guessed, "in the corner" was today's…
Of Caves and Cavemen: Stream of Consciousness Saturday #SoCS
"CAPTAIN, CAAAAAAVVVVVVVEEEEMAAAAANNNNNNNNN!" Today's prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday from Linda G. Hill is "cave." Use it as a subject, verb, or whatever. I have vague memories of watching Captain Caveman as a kid. Always liked how he rummaged around in his beard/hair and would come out with whatever was needed. There was always something…
Valiant Valium – Stream of Consciousness Saturday #SoCS
Valiant. It's hard these days, but all of us need to be valiant in the face of the corruption and outright evil emanating from the Oval Office now and for the past three years. And in the face of the incredible stupidity and ignorance (that's always been a part of the American tradition) of a…
N Is for Names – The Cheeky A-Z Guide for Content Marketing
If your marketing doesn’t bring new people to your business or keep existing customers coming back, you’re failing. As much as I write about (and believe) that marketing needs to be helpful; that’s not the objective. The objective is to move a person - and we should never lose sight that we’re talking about people…
The Great S Hunt and the Lie of Practice Makes Perfect #SOCS
When I first saw the prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday, I immediately thought of the days of my life I spent switching “s” out for “z” (and vice versa) editing the European version of e-doc. What a huge PITA (not the tasty platform for hummus). Today’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday (on a Sunday) post…
