It started out as a little experiment.

This sending out daily emails "thing."

For 10 years we sent out one email a week and turned it into a blog post.

And it was just fine.

It didn't take a ton of my time. Didn't mess with my golf game.

And then Cheryl thought we should try a daily email and be more "personal."

"You know, like tell some of your stories and share more...like your feelings or your opinions."

But I like my privacy.

And I tend to swear...because that's how we talk in Pittsburgh.

I don't like to talk about my feelings.

I don't really care what people think.

And I hate b.s.

"Fine. So write like you talk and we'll see what happens. If our whole list unsubscribes, well...I guess you ran everyone off then."

And darned if people didn't stick around.

So...I guess we'll stick around, too and keep doing this.

But I wanted to update you on the few changes we made to simplify our lives and yours.

+ The daily(ish) email will be most weekdays...except when I'm golfing. And I draw the line on Sat's and Sun's.

+ It's now called the "Contrarian" - go figure lol.

+ After ten memorable years, "Barron Bullets" have bit the dust. May they rest in peace.

+ You can now manage how frequently you want me to invade your inbox...Daily or Weekly by clicking on the "Manage your subscriptions here" link at the bottom of every email and head over to the Preferences Center.

That way if you're going to Bora Bora for a week and don't want to invite me, just put me on a "weekly" leash.

And then change back to "daily" when you get back and find you've missed me.

You can also totally Unsubscribe from the Preferences Center...but that would bruise my ego =(

One last thing.

After almost 7 months of this, I think it's about time I know when to at least wish you "Happy Birthday" since that's what friends do...and I don't do Facebook.

When is your next birthday? I promise I won't make awkward jokes.
