Memphasis > Boys Will Be Boys
September 27th, 2012
BOYS WILL BE BOYS. AND THAT CAN BE VERY BAD. If you don’t think teenage boys are thinking about sex virtually every waking moment and dreaming about it virtually every second asleep then you never were one, never the parent of one, or never knew one. If you think wagging a finger at them will stop them, or fairy tales about sexuality instead of honest truth will ...
Memphasis > Story On The Side
September 20th, 2012
A STORY IN EVERY BITE. As I listened, I remembered comedian David Brenner discussing directions in the South.

Some are last year’s refried beans, some are this year’s nouvelle cuisine, some are just delicious memories. An alphabetical survey of local ...
Memphasis > One Quiet Truck
August 30th, 2012
JUST SEND ONE QUIET TRUCK. My friend Joan White died a couple of weeks ago. You may not have known that. In fact, if you aren’t a member of advertising’s old school fraternity, you may not know that Joan made the boys let the girls in and made the business, and us, better. In fact, if you aren’t a member of Temple Israel, you may not know how much ...
