Last week, two boxes arrived for my children from Amazon.  A dear friend of mine emailed me and told me she had sent them each a book.  And she was wise enough to know that opening the box is part of the delight.  So she sent two separate boxes. I brought them in from the front [...]

“Chinese Democracy”, the highly anticipated “new” album from Guns ‘n Roses (OK, let’s face it, Axl Rose) has STILL NOT BEEN RELEASED! At this point I don’t even care if the damn thing ever comes out… although, my curiosity is still elevated enough to where I will buy it (or illegally download it) when [...]

We went to a swanky restaurant this weekend to celebrate my birthday. Watching and listening to the patrons can be as filling as the meal. To be able to stare and not get caught can be an art form – of which my better half fails miserably. He turns not just his head, [...]

Agency X: “What did Johnny Candidate say about us?”
Me: “He enjoyed the various conversations very much…”
Agency X: “We need to know details on what he said first.”
Me: “Um, okay, he thought that process was intriguing with your [tag]business development[/tag] and [...]

Remember that girl that you met a few weekends ago… the one that kept looking at you out of the corner of her eye? That really hot girl that if you were able to stand next to her for two minutes, people would look at you and ask, “What in the bloody hell is [...]

Okay, this one’s gonna be kind of fun. Well, it’s gonna be fun for you. And, isn’t that really the whole point of my existence in the first place . . . making your life a little better? I believe it is!
