The post X-Mas comedown. It’s over. New Year’s came and went. The chain of events that started while passed out on a couch watching football on Thanksgiving- finally ended with an emphatic thud today. Since NYE landed on a Wednesday this year, many businesses closed on Friday. Giving everyone another [...]
The service started at 14th street and lasted all the way to Penn Station. A state of affairs eased only by the fact that I was on an express train. The train doors closed behind me and the lights almost seemed to dim. At first I thought I heard something but [...]
I went as Joe The Plumber this year. A couple days earlier a friend of mine said that it was an un-original costume. Everyone is going to be Joe The Plumber. I defended the attack. Obviously there would be a few people dressed like Wurzelbacher, but I thought it was unique [...]

The other day I was going through my CDs and came across Open Up and Say… Ahh! by Poison. I had some packing to do and decided to dust off this ‘88 gem. Give it a listen. After all, this was the record that made me want to be a rocker.

The company I work for has started a new internal initiative called We Get Fit. It’s all about getting healthy. Much to my surprise, yesterday we all received branded pedometers to wear on our belts. Which is really cool because everyone at work looks like they’re stuck in the 80’s with their [...]
