Read excerpt
Hello. I hope you are having a great week. Mine has been tough. Our cat, Chucky, was suffering from kidney disease, and after a lot of treatment, we had to make the difficult decision to end his suffering. We had Chucky for over 15 years. He was very much my youngest daughter’s baby. She was three when we got Chucky and his brother Edward. My wife and daughter are upset, but we know it was the right decision because Chucky was having a hard time with everything. He was brave. Such a good and chi

Hello! I hope all is well with you. It is the middle of the week, and today is the last day for one of my co-workers. We are sending him off on his future adventure with BBQ. It’s also Pink Shirt Wednesday. We stole that from Mean Girls as a joke, and some people from other contract companies within our building have joined in.

Budget limitations and lazy writing contributed to the failures of thos
A Message from the Averaverse: Bandcamp Friday (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hello. I hope your week is going well. I don’t usually send emails on Friday, but the distribution channel I use for my music (Bandcamp) is running a promotion called “Bandcamp Friday”. On days like today, 100% of the proceeds go to the artist, instead of just a commission. So, if you purchase a song, album, or my entire discography, I receive 100% of the purchase.I will admit that I am gene agnostic.
