Point of View: Why I’m Leaving Twitter

November 21, 2022November 20, 2022 by scott

In May 2009, I first dipped my toe into an exciting new social media site. OK, so by new I mean three years old at the time – I am rarely an early adopter. I like most of the bugs to be worked out. I started accounts for two of our business directory sites – Purple Roofs (LGBTQ+ travel) and Gay Realty Network (LGBTQ+ real estate professionals). In December of the same year, I opened a third account, a personal one to find other folks who spoke Italian. La Bella Lingua has been a passion of ours since we first … Read more

Point of View: The Long Fall

November 7, 2022November 7, 2022 by scott

I grew up in the small desert city of Tucson, Arizona. When I was seven or eight, we moved out to the edge of town. And I mean waaay out. The nearest shipping center was at Orange Grove Road, a good 3-4 miles from our house. I still remember vividly the trip to the “microwave store” (yes, they actually had stores devoted to selling only microwave ovens) to buy one of these miraculous sci-fi devices for our home. Our brand new home was built in the virgin desert, in amongst the palo verde and mesquite trees and the occasional saguaro … Read more
