We’re just over a month away from the MLB playoffs, and this year (like every year) has had its share of sketchy calls that fans and players have been unhappy about. While not everyone’s favorite summer pastime (the sports season that never ends still has more...

2020 has been ... something.Maybe, if we're all fortunate, the SpaceX launch will be the best thing to come out of this season.Because there is simply pain all around right now. I said this in another place, but it's overwhelming, as someone who has to communicate to...

Are you tired of talking and thinking about the PPP? Because I'm tired of talking and thinking about the PPP.That said -- this program has been a lifesaver for a variety of my Greater Sacramento clients, and it has provided a great shot in the arm for others.And, well...
