I was just on the treadmill continuing my attempt to learn lip reading. See, I watch the television while exercising. However, I don’t listen to the tv. I actually listen to my iPod. I dutifully exercise this way day in and day out. I like keeping my brain […]
Ok. We have all heard the joke that Whole Foods is really “whole paycheck”. I get it. I don’t find that their food is all that tasty or worth all that they charge. I really don’t like kale. Laughingly, there is supposedly a significant demographic overlap between […]
I’m going to state it and stick with it. Christmas is almost here. Sure, it’s June. Not quite mid-june. We’ve got summer barbeques and vacations to still plan and enjoy. We got new sandals and dresses to try out. We still have father’s day and independence day to […]

Sometimes you wake up on the wrong side of the bed. It sets you on a dark path from which its hard to pull back. That can certainly happen. Me? It doesn’t happen often to me. Not that my life is all songbirds and puppies. I think I […]
I am a huge baseball fan. Sadly for me, I’m in Dodger land. You know, the team that betrayed Brooklyn and went out west. Nowadays. Sports teams readily move from city to city eschewing fan loyalty. The Los Angeles Dodgers made their cross-country move decades ago. Before I […]
I hate arriving early to meetings. I just hate it. I detest it, as a matter of fact. Yet, I do it consistently without fail. Do you know how horrible it is to arrive early to meeting after meeting? Sure, I can pat myself on the back and […]
