I am taking my native entrepreneurial spirit to a new station in life

Inspired by a nature video I recently saw, I have cloned the world's first Predator Rabbit. Name your punk band after it.

I lost John at the end. He was crying.

I had to get back to work. His sobbing was entirely justified. I would have joined him except for the deadline. We all need a confidant. He is mine. I am his, with an asterisk.

WITH YOUR HELP pastiche

[outtakes] and for uncountable personal reasons. Philanthropy is shockingly personal ¶ Who's keeping track? Everyone. And yet no one's covering the whole phenomenon. A small museum here. A small museum there. ¶ And we will do exactly that ¶ There's just one thing we aren't sure of yet: your philanthropic support. ¶ Will you deliver to us this great leap forward ... part of your personal philanthropic agenda ... complex story. All things considered. All voices invited to speak: scientific

With your help. And only because you've helped. We cannot do this without you.

And if we do have your help? Then that unfolding story will amaze the world ... thanks to you!

 

From a Secret Sharer: Selling your FB fans for lots of $$$

This anonymous CEO/Good Samaritan wrote, "You may already know about this, but Little Things Videos pays a lot of money to organizations with large Facebook followers. We currently receive $146,000 per year by posting three short videos a day and that is all we have to do. We are a small non-profit and that amount is currently 35% of our revenue (which I am hoping to change with more avenues to raise money). They send us the links, we review them and schedule them to be posted. I would say our 'work' amounts to maybe two hours a week. Our content is always about dogs, but it can be tailored to the organization's mission and focus. When I review our data on Facebook, the videos capture more 'likes' and comments than anything else we post." Win-win.

Bravo, America! We're #21!!!

The Netherlands was the first country, in 2001. And the US Supreme Court today, Friday 26, 2015 -- a day that will live in social justice history -- overruled the laws in the 13 remaining American states that had banned same-sex marriage.

Now that's behind us.

Desire moves on. That grinding noise you maybe hear is us switching gears toward something else worth doing: at least 75% of our giving over the past decade went toward this social equity cause/vision/mission.

This is the best venue I've ever presented in

Welcome to the Nancy Marine Studio Warner Theatre, Torrington, CT. Incredible sound. Beautiful, too: intimate (yet spacious) and designed for audience comfort. I've always been fond of polished concrete. There's something counter-intuitively "warm" about it, for me. I'd love it in a home. Sure, the mega-stadium theatre in Australia was well-equipped. But today in Torrington was a special day. Guy Rovezzi, President/CEO of the Community Foundation of Northwest Connecticut, in the left-hand shot. Best interaction with an audience in a long time. THANK YOU for turning my curds into savory cheddar!!!

We have a bit of the northern New England wilderness in our RI back yard

It's always dark. It's full of evil.

New show in the making
