Greg Grunberg is not my brother, buy T$BD looks just like him, a fact established last year when T$ circulated a clip from Heros from You-Tube around to family and friends. This was the 2nd year I’ve walked in the event in support of a girlfriend of mine whose too-young son just had brain surgery at [...]

I got back from California on Wednesday and was thrilled to have a neighbor pick me up in his squad car. It was cool, very to have someone pick me up (I mean, obviously Abdul dropped me off 2 weeks before but no one ever picks me up). Once home Neighborcop and his wife (oooohh, [...]

My mother had bilateral knee replacement on the 12th and was standing on her new knees 4 hours post op thanks in no small part to her fabulous surgeon who took a jar-full of goop out from her knee cavity and replaced it with s knee that’s made out of plastic, steel and titanium. [...]

My first reaction when I heard that Governor Spitzer, “Client 9” was involved in a prostitution ring wasn’t outrage. My first though was, is he a democrat? Right now somewhere out west Larry Craig and his wife are breathing a shared sigh of relief. Republicans everywhere are saying to themselves and to one another “whew, [...]

When I decided to become vegan, one of the rules I made for myself is that I wouldn’t buy any leather products but that anything I currently have in my life (like my car, shoes, belts, etc.) can stay put but that they would be replaced with vegan items. What I didn’t realize is that [...]

Better, Stronger, Faster. Or wait. Is it Stronger, Tougher, Better? Faster, Longer, Stronger? Whatever. It was Company X’s National Sales Meeting theme this year. I know because one of my friends and subsequent President Club award winners called me at 2am naked after he jumped fully clothed into what passes for a swimming pool at [...]

The first person who ever used this expression with me was my former boss who I worked for at Company X from 1998 until 2006ish when he left the company to pursue other interests. Or got canned. Depends on how you look at it. EO and I didn’t start out close. It was your typically [...]

The starbucks closest to my house has just been remodeled to include, among other things, twice the number of electrical outlets and better furniture. There are worse places to spend a Saturday night as the weather shifts from what it was today in the 70’s to what it’s expected to be tomorrow, in the 30’s [...]

It’s 1987, my senior year in high school and I am friendless during my final semester. What should have been months of good times were very lonely as I shuttled between home, school and my job in my 1981 Chevy Chevette. Although largely without talent, I nonetheless participated in all of my high schools musicals ( I was a cheerleader [...]

Company X has their national sales meeting this week even as my current company has their sales trip in Hawaii. Both leave me unsupervised for too many days which can only lead to bad behavior. Here’s hoping. When I was with Company X, I used to refer to NSM meetings as the “hostage crisis” [...]
