Everyone has a medical horror story. I know someone who had an operation and continued to have pain to only find out that a sponge had been left in his leg. I know someone who was diagnosed with colon cancer and had to switch insurers in a somewhat […]
I love summer songs. Collectively, we sing them at a drop of the hat any time or day. Recently, Justin gave us “Can’t Stop the Feeling” and Demi Lovato gave us “Cool for the Summer”. At the moment I have no idea what the summer song of 2017 will be. However, […]
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 […]
As we know, words these days have either lost their meaning or become hyper-meaningful. Wait! Does that even make sense? I mean, we have new words being added to the dictionary everyday, it seems. Words, that were considered to be wrong or didn’t exist merely a year back. […]

The title of this bit is actually a little off. It’s not like I liked Tom Cruise from the outset and then stopped. Nor is it that I “still like” him in comparison to others. Seems he is still doing well enough. Nor has he done anything nutty […]
I love television. I love it even more than Coke Zero but slightly less than New York. That’s my materials-love continuum. I grew up with TV and I came out fairly normal. Or so I believe, but have been told as well. Despite my television love, I don’t […]
I don’t drive. Don’t know how to drive. But I ride shotgun a lot. Thus, I know how to find good radio stations, be on the lookout for cops hiding around certain curvy spots (not that we are doing anything wrong), and double check the GPS directions. That’s […]
When I worked in New York City’s flat-iron district, I was constantly walking around a filming crew. My specific work street had a film crew there at least once a month. One of the Spider-Man movies was filmed near me. I didn’t tweet the photo I took as […]
There is this research finding that psychologists often use in their statistics classes to showcase the problem with what is called a spurious correlation. I promise, by the way, this won’t be a wonky post. Occasionally, I must live up to my name. So, do you know that […]
