Where’s the Belief?
I tried, okay. I have really tried to give these ads a chance. Dave Thomas always seemed like a pretty good guy. He sponsored and created charities supporting adoption and foster care. His restaurants always promoted local sports programs and activities for kids. Heck, the guy even went and named the whole restaurant chain […]
Mac Attack
I am not a monster. I’m not all bad. Maybe 10 percent. I think I’m 90 percent good.” – John McEnroe, in 1984. I have always had a soft spot for John McEnroe. This stems from the several things we have in common. I share a birthday with the man, I do own at […]
