Save the whales. Save the children.  Save the tiger.  Save the rain forests.  Save the Jaguar.  Save the planet.All noble campaigns; bold initiatives.

The new building property manager stopped by our office today to check on some maintenance they performed last week.  I really like this guy.When I first met him a few weeks ago, he told me things were going to be different around the building.

As a young boy, I was a newspaper carrier for The Cleveland Press; this was the community's afternoon paper.  Back in the day nearly every major city had more than one daily.  Not anymore.Some people preferred the morning edition and some liked the afternoon paper.
