>> I think I may like to try some ITM buy/writes with the intent that they do get called. Any direction on good current candidates for this would be much appreciated! I'll analyze some of the stocks listed a few months back, but wondering if there are not some better ones.

Covered calls are a conservative income producing strategy for ltb&h practitioners. The buy/write approach is much riskier, since it involves predicting the short term movement of a previously unowned stock, which can be strongly influenced by market conditions. Plain vanilla CCs and the buy/write variant are both considered bullish in nature, and Mr. Market's current mood seems decidedly bearish. I think you've picked a bad time to get your feet wet, but that's jmho.
