The aim of this website is to encourage face-to-face conversation in our new “Age of Screens.”

Seeking unconventional advice? Would you like some help creating clever conversation (starters, punchlines, jawdroppers) for any occasion?

My funny adventures in folk journalism along the way — you should enjoy!
