You may be wondering why the inconsistency of publishing The COMUNICANO. There was one big reason and a few others. First back in early March I had two banks compromised. More of a PITA than a monetary loss-well not much in the end , though the time suck was brutal–but the need to revisit how I manage payments has taken on a new daily game of “whack a mole” that is now more behind me than in front. ..thanks for your patience….I’m also spending a part of the day on wineTOURia, the new wine focused agency started with winepal, Victoria Varela who has joined the Comunicano team too.
