It’s common for schools to rent out CH and use it as a fund raising trip. Colleges especially will invite big donors and alumni and have other events around it... at least a reception.

Hi Renee. I'm a musician in post-grad/early-professional purgatory. Could share some advice or an anecdote that might help when times get tough and my motivation starts to wane? Thanks!

Laphroiag is what hooked me on Islay scotch, too. Unfortunately it basically ruined all other forms of straight whiskey for me. I still drink them occasionally, but I'd rather have an Islay.

It's the whiskey equivalent of being a hophead, I guess. I'm really attracted to heavily peated whiskies.

I'm on the do not call list. Is there anything I can do about scammy robo calls like the infamous "Rachael from cardholder services"?

I also get crap like "you've been approved for a $250,000 business loan!" and "you've won a free cruise!"

I've read that these companies spoof numbers so there's really no way to sue, but I'm not sure.

This seems to have ramped up lately since I got a few new credit cards. (Note: I am also opted out of firm offers of credit.)

Is being funny just the new style of salesmanship?

The thing that’s different now is that because of social media we all, to some extent, must learn salesmanship, and part of that is grabbing onto the cultural zeitgeist.
