I sneezed myself into a nap
Today I had to get up right at 6am so that I could work out. Let me tell you that working out that early on a weekend is a brutal way to live. I had to do it though. The person that was helping me out by […]
Good leaders eat last
I often don’t eat at work. More often than not, I skip lunch entirely. I have a stickie right by the side of my office door that states “don’t forget food.” The stickie doesn’t really work. I will work and just get through the day without really […]
It felt like three days in one
We all know that Fridays are tough. You look forward to them arriving but once you are living it, the day goes by very slowly. Sometimes, agonisingly slow. I lived one such day this past week. By 3pm, I already felt as if I had gone through three […]
The ice cream truck: Yes, it’s still a thing
The sound of the ice cream truck has been one that I believe I can truthfully say I have not heard during the past eight years or so. First off, they wouldn’t stop in my New York suburban neighborhood because my town had 8,000 people. In NYC itself, […]
I’m prickly, sudsy and then some
Sometimes you just find yourself in a mood. It can be a sour mood, a happy one, or a “I’m not taking any crap” mood. It can even be all three and more simultaneously. It’s like a cacophony of moods swirling inside one’s brain, body and pinky. Yeah, […]
What a sighing drag: I didn’t know I gave up caffeine for a week
I have been having a couple of those weeks where I have been tired, felt like I had 20 jobs and just wanted to pull other people’s hair. Actually this has been going on for more than a couple of weeks. I’m running on fumes at this point. […]
My favorite food, drinks and movies in a round of silly, crazy, wacky news
OJ Simpson has just been paroled. Well, rather he is going to be allowed to go on parole come October. The question is whether he will get a TV hosting gig? Or perhaps a reality show? Oh My! It’s Friday night, I just got paid, and I […]
In my search of a great donut I bought some crystals, oils, and maple bacon
I have always liked donuts. But not neccesarily loved them. I didn’t need to ever have one every day. Coffee, yes! Coke Zero, yes! I admit, I need caffeine. In NY, you get donuts at the local bodega with a cup of coffee with cream and […]
My Friday night lights: Homemade pizza in Barcelona
Many moons ago, I had an opportunity of a lifetime to live abroad in Barcelona, Spain. I was young, impressionable, and eager to learn. Not many people get a chance to live abroad when they are a high schooler. By the time I got to college, […]
Celebrating the cultural and culinary introduction to Spam on this day decades ago
I’m not a big fan of spam. Yet, I have a certain psychological, sentimental fondness for spam. On the 5th of July in 1937 (right after the 161st birthday of the United States) Hormel foods introduced us all to spam. I wasn’t alive then and neither were my […]
