Socotra house Afternoon Edition

Splash and Roket rolled in late for the Production Meeting, happy that Deirdre had an idea for the Daily in the stack of Post-It notes affixed to her tablet. i am working on a marinaded flank steak recipe that will let you guys pretend to be Grill Kings. But there is a problem with that, […]

Almost June

HI! It’s Deirdre and i have the Conference Room and the Galley empty for a change. The Boomers won’t be back for a while and i can stretch out a little and get organized for the summer season. We are going to enjoy it here in North Fairfax. Temps in the upper seventies under brilliant […]

Groundhog Day in the SitRoom?

The meeting was not announced until eleven O’clock when the morning Daily was ready to go. This was sort o a dreamy production meeting since the dark gray clouds parted and the sun blazed through, brilliant in the blue. The decision to not hold the event in the Oval Office, where a more formal note […]

We had the company national conference yesterday that started things rolling in […]

Cuba Begins to Go…

With an average age spanning 70 to 85, they bring long memories to the 4th Floor Conference Room at the Socotra House Creative Section. Somewhere deep in their collective recollections was being a teenager when the evil dictator Batista—whose two periods of […]

Demographics

I don’t recall ex-spouse Jane’s Birthday always being Mother’s Day, but this is a lovely one and the memory of the laughter and tears we shared are powerful on this sunny morning. We did a happy slide this morning to get things rolling, but there are other big deals out there that deserve a mention. […]

Iran Responds

The puppet media owned by the Iranian Republican Guard has reported that their government has submitted a response to the peace proposal offered by the Americans. The Islamic Republic News Agency cited “a source familiar with the matter” that negotiations between the Trump administration and Tehran are solely focused on halting hostilities in the region. […]
