Hey gang, People that have read these emails in the past know that I use an outlandish number of ()s within my writing.   Often times I use these ()s as asides or for the sake of sarcasm.  My friends that know me best may say that's because even when [...]

Hey gang, So over the past few months I bought a black desk - well, now that I think of it, I have to go a little further back.  In 2017, the fam and I went all in on buying a new house.  By all in, I mean we went [...]

Hey gang,At Sharp Guys we have a number of repositories with stock photos we can use for clients. I wouldn't say I'm a stock photo connoisseur (well I would, but only in private as I'm too humble to brag about my Stock Photo Expert Certificate).  Sometimes I'll come upon stock [...]

Hey gang, You know those massage chairs at malls - the ones where you slide a credit card through and all of your neck pain and troubles are meant to fade away?  A while ago I was in one of those places and was tempted to try it out and I [...]

Hey gang, I’ve always heard that people get their best ideas in the shower.  While I enjoy showers, as far as I can remember I have never had even a small epiphany while showering which seems like a total rip off.  Here I am (I mean that in the figurative [...]

Hey gang, You are here so you may have noticed my Valentine's Day-themed subject line - Love is in the Arrow That should be Fedex's Valentine's Day promo email subject line - you know because they have that arrow in their logo?    You didn't notice?  Well it is there, go look. [...]

Gang, I’m getting old. Or at least my annoyance at certain things are making me feel old.  Early this year I got a beautiful new stainless-steel coffee maker.  My previous coffee maker, a Ferrari red one died after many years of fine service.  And though my ol' elixir fixer had been [...]

Hey gang, Well it's officially summertime and I'm over here sweating the generalities. Have you noticed how many web headlines use the phrase ‘X Broke the Internet’? Where the letter X is a word or person that has nothing to do with the internet's infrastructure. Plus, if they broke it, how would I read [...]

Hey gang, I remember writing a story for 6th grade English.  It was assigned weeks in advance and in common middle school Cody form, I waited until the Sunday before the Monday it was due to write and illustrate it.  I am perhaps one of the top 5 worst artists [...]

Hey gang, Think about that subject line - Jefferson not only helped outline our democracy but he also took the time to invent a new and improved plow – plowing being a task he never actually did himself.  Instead of being crestfallen that I have surprisingly neither helped found a democracy [...]

Good afternoon gang, With the kids back in school, it got me thinking about what they will be learning and how they will be learning it this year.  In my day (how old did I become before I began saying that phrase?), we learned basic math via memorization and as [...]
