The Friday Fishwrap

All the news that's fit to wrap around a dead fish!

"Friday Fishwrap" is a term that Herb Caen of the San Francisco Chronicle (as well as others I believe)  used to describe his Friday column. The term comes from the fact that Friday is a huge day at the fish market and it was common practice to wrap that big cod or flounder in a newspaper.

Starting this week, my Friday column is going to be a wrap-up of the current week's columns. There will also be a Periscope broadcast of it. Almost from the time I started this blog last year I'd been thinking about doing a podcast that wrapped up the current week, but I never did. But now with Periscope you'll be subjected to me at least once a week.

The week in review

Monday - Monday's post was on "Who are you?" and was about what makes you uniquely you. This was the topic of Tuesday's Connecting with Caren and Nancy's Google Hangout

Tuesday - "Where were you in '62?" This was a celebration (?) of my 35 year anniversary with AT&T

Wednesday - "Try to remember" paid homage to that song, the play "The Fantasticks" and the "Brothers Four"

Thursday - "1% better" about the small things you can do every day to have huge results in your life
