Tom here. I started writing The Daily Drivel in March 2020 as a way to stay sane during the COVID-19 pandemic. Originally it was part of my professional consulting website but it grew a bit bigger than life so I decided to move it into its own space, TheDailyDrivel.com.
Friends, I have no problem with you leaving a comment about one of my posts. I simply ask that you follow the rules of civility: no spittin’, no cussin’, no name callin’, no accusin’ me or others of ill intent, and write as if your saintly grandmother (or your kids) were reading over your shoulder. That’s my policy and my rules. If you don’t follow the rules, I won’t be responding or approving your comment. This is my blog, not yours. And if I visit your blog I will do you the respect of following your rules. Got it? Good, let’s move on.
