OMNIA MEA MECUM PORTO: "I carry with me all my things."

I am bringing an issue to your attention that has been causing confusion lately. My name is quite common and shared by many people worldwide. While it's always interesting to see how many other Cole Coopers are out there, it can also lead to confusion. The primary issue is that my Gmail address, colecoop@gmail.com, has become a catch-all for people trying to contact other Cole Coopers. When someone with a similar name gives out a slightly different email address, sometimes that email ends up in my inbox instead.

 Substack and Cole's Notes Something is coming... It was once said that regarding the press, you should never fight with a man who buys ink by the barrel.  Today, that would be:  never pick a fight with someone with a Substack. Subscribe to me on Substack: https://substack.com/@colemanmarkcooper?utm_source=edit-profile-page  There is not anything there at the moment - I'm busily hooking up my Social media accounts and working on building my audience - so this is just a heads up that I'm updating things this fall and adding in new content as I update this blog and the other social media sites. Why am I doing this? Well, the comic strip Shoe has it, ideally. So, I'm looking at various income sources from my writing.  Substack is one.  So what is Substack? Substack is a platform that provides publishing, payment, analytics, and design infrastructure to support subscription newsletters. It allows writers to send digital newsletters directly to subscribers. This...
