There is never a good time to lose your phone. People have nightmares about it and these past few months have created a lot of opportunities to do just that.
She’s home! See bar installation photos.
I’m having a blast planning this new bar business, Kerry Lou’s LLC, at Flag and Banner.
It probably won’t make much money, but I don’t believe it will lose any either. It’s more about having fun and business creativity. As my long-time friend and actress Joey Lauren Adams says about her new bar/restaurant in Hot Springs, Arkansas, “I want a sexy bar” and I think I do, too.
The Dead Internet Theory is the idea that most of what we see online isn’t made by people anymore, but by bots, algorithms, and AI.
Maybe you read in the paper, or right here in my blog, that FlagandBanner.com is downsizing its first-floor showroom in…
Flags mean many things to many people. They are an emotional symbol representing a wide range of fanaticism evoking love, hate, union, defiance and more.
How Kerry McCoy Became an Enterprise
Last week, I wrote about how buying myself a Tesla was, in…
Salespeople are a lot of help. I know they are often stereotyped as a nuisance, as robocalls are (which aren’t real people), but a good salesperson is more like a secretary to their client. And, over the next ten years, both salespersons and secretaries alike could become an endangered species as they are replaced by chat bots, electronic calendars, and online tutorials.
Have you been wondering what ever happened to the restauranteur Rodney Ely, founder of Satellite Coffee and Rodney’s Chicago Dogs that used to be in Little Rock, Arkansas?
Well, I found him in Ft Lauderdale, FL. And, as per usual, he’s serving up the best quality, delicious food and creating inviting dining environments.
Our life has changed since adding our new puppy, Coco, to the family. For instance, Grady and I are subjugated to her bodily functions and puppy antics, and we can no longer walk freely around the house; it is a maze of toys and barriers. There are fences and gates everywhere in my home and yard. Coco is not allowed upstairs because, just like any unsupervised baby, she gets into trouble, and she’s not allowed out of the yard for the same reason.
One of the perks of living in Arkansas is our outdoor activities. Within 30 minutes, you can be out of any city limit climbing a mountain, canoeing a stream, hiking a trail, or picnicking in mother nature.
Motherhood is a thankless job but still one I would do over again, if I got the chance. When you are in the throes of child rearing, it feels endlessly tiring; but when it is behind you, you miss it.
Prior to emails and the internet changing our lives, English teachers worried that writing was going to become a lost artform. Ma Bell had turned all of us into voice communicators, making lawyers the only letter writers left. In this school of thought, typing classes were dropped from many high school curriculums. But alas, the power of the pen is back, big time, along with keyboarding. It’s time to dust off the old grammar books and learn some new tricks on how to write a good email.
Many things are coming back; like the return of shopping catalogs in my overflowing mailbox, conventions are making a comeback, too.
Amazon is putting the squeeze on small businesses in ways you might not have thought of. Everyone knows Amazon sells everything cheap (remember when they only sold books?). But another big part of their schtick is selling shipping cheap or, better yet, giving it away for free. So, who is paying the shipping companies? The nice guys at Amazon?
