US Supreme Court and Sports (Post 1 of 2)

This is a sports related post. If you’re not into sports, this entry will be of no interest to you. I will make a separate entry with my non-sports topic. As most of you American readers know, a huge battle is about to be waged in the US Supreme Court. It’s a very small item. […]

The Rest of Today’s Post (Post 2 of 2)

This is the non-sports related post. If you’re into sports, the entry I made earlier today will be of interest to you. Otherwise, don’t bother. First, I had mentioned I’ve got a new laptop for work. I noticed it was starting to get scratches on it from being in unfriendly environments such as backpacks, desk, […]

Let It Rain (London Day Five)

We met Jan and Anna at the Patisserie at about 830am for an English Breakfast. We enjoyed it and had a nice time. Thanks for picking up the tab, Jan! It was raining lightly as we headed to the tube station and down to the District line platforms for our ride to Westminster where we […]

Berlin Wall and such

I’ll start with the doctor. He said I can expect to have my cough another one or two weeks. Yay. This is from the legendary lawyer, Razzie. I am speechless. Seriously. This is the most unusual, bizarre, unreal, unspeakable, product I’ve ever seen. It’s a real product for a real condition. You will laugh or […]

Today’s Excitement

Last night was pretty rough when it comes to sleep. I didn’t get to bed until nearly 3 and woke up not long after four, then dozed off again until 5, and then dozed off again until 6, and finally gave up at 630 or so and got out of bed and went to work. […]

All Sorts of Anecdotes

Let’s start with an interesting encounter. Friday I had day-early Birthday Dinner with Dad, my sister and her boyfriend at our usual restaurant. We sat down and we were two tables away from Donna Shalala (linked if you don’t know who she is). Dad always likes to be a big shot and we know all […]

Obama’s Health Care Reform Plan

I was an Obama supporter, and mostly I still am. In my earlier post, I meant to share this article because it’s how I feel as a business owner. I want to thank Paul who sent it over. Of course, I also realize to hire good people you have to offer competitive benefits, so this […]

BMW Sucks, Enterprise Doesn’t, and Other Stuff

Let’s start with the good: Enterprise Rent-A-Car. In a previous post I detailed the misery of the first car they gave me: two flat tires, faulty transmission, broken key, smelled like cigarettes, and was dirty as hell. When I complained they didn’t even care and was left on my own to deal with a crap […]

What I Believe

(First, congratulations to Erin on her new TV. She saw it yesterday whilst we were browsing various stores and decided to buy it. So this morning I went with her in my new X5 — with the skanky iDrive system but otherwise wonderful — to move it back to her house. I must say, after […]

Ann Coulter, Republican Governors, MRIs, and a bitch

Another GOP governor was caught in the arms of another woman, tearfully confessing after excerpts from his randy emails were posted. Apparently Republican governors are irresistible sex magnets with no ability to honour their commitments to their loved ones. That or Democrats are just not getting caught. This adds to the “politicians are scum” collection. […]
