Guy Kawasaki

Hey, I just wanted to give you all a smile and a laugh and a good life lesson. Guy Kawasaki (he the evangelizing author of Macintosh Way) has this on his site. It’s his speech to a graduating high school class. It should be required reading. Not only is it amusing, it’s damned fine. Have […]

Miami Tops Auto Club List for Rude Drivers

I know this will come as a surprise to absolutely nobody who has ever been to Miami, but we’re now famous for drivers worse than New York and Boston. Worse? That doesn’t even seem possible. Excerpted from BETH RUCKER of Associated Press on May 16, 2006 3:53 PM EDT: Stressed Miami drivers speed, tailgate and […]

Wow, OJ really didn’t do it.

Well, we’ll never know for sure. But here’s the case: First, the Dallas Observer, has an article on 4-12-01 explaining some troubling inconsistencies with the case. They’ve checked all the facts but have not made a formal accusation. Then, over at NNDB they’ve got a few more details which you should also read. It make […]

What Age Do You Act? :)

STEP ONE: Take this test: What Age Do You Act?After you take it, compare it to my result. STEP TWO: Yeah, I’m 40 but look what I got:You Are 19 Years Old Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view – and you look at the world with […]

Avenue “Q” The Review (5-9-06 Wynn Las Vegas)

I’ve wanted to see Avenue Q since I saw the poster hanging up in New York City some time ago. Until now I haven’t managed to see it, but I finally got the chance whilst attending the National Hardware Show. Seats were easy to get which explains why it’s closing in two weeks. I loved […]

TMJ, Clicking, Tinnitus, and Roofers Redux — Eclectic Isn’t It?

Wow. What an eclectic mix of subject we have in today’s update. First, I went to the dentist yesterday because my tooth was hurting (tooth #3 if you’re counting). Not a big deal, really. Went in. They took an x-ray, saw it was infected, gave me an antibiotic and told me to come back in […]

Rob Barry’s Blog

I often visit Rob Barry’s Blog because he’s a little weird like me — which I mean in a good way of course. You should go there. Today’s gem is a reference to a letter to Dr. Laura entitled “Why can’t I own a Canadian?” It’s hysterical. And if you love the bible, you probably […]

I have roofers!!!!!!!

Yes, indeed, today the roofers finally started. So, after six months of waiting I now have less of a roof than I did after the hurricane. I am certain this is a good thing. They are removing what’s left of the old roof (except the underlying particle board) and hauling it away. They are going […]

Why I Want to Own a Casino

I own one share in every public casino company so I can get the annual reports. They’re fascinating. Plus, I love to gamble. If I lived in Las Vegas, I’d need gambler’s anonymous, I’m sure. Happily, I go there 2 to 4 times per year and stick within my budget every trip. So in today’s […]
