Gimme Back My Bullets

As I entered the concert last night, I heard a 20-something ask his buddy who was opening the show.  “Is  3 Doors Down opening for Lynyrd Skynyrd or is Skynyrd opening for them?”  I wanted to get in his face and say, “Are you out of your fu**ing mind?” I knew this would probably generate […]

That Smell

Okay. Today’s blog is a little early as I am going to the Lynyrd Skynyrd/3 Doors Down show tonight.  Tory K. was kind enough to donate a free 10th row ticket to the Summer of Benny.  Sweet. Working in the city has its moments.  On the way into the office today after, I saw an […]

Bend It Like Beckham

Bend It Like Beckham? I always thought that came from a Paris Hilton video. If you haven’t been to YouTube yet, it’s worth the effort. In fact, if you just started a new job and your boss is out of town for the week, it’s a great way to spend the afternoon. I’ve been dog-sitting […]

A restaurant in Florida is offering a […]

Payback

This post will be brief as I am typing it in the am because the never reliable web hosting servers were down last night.  Shocker. Kate has been unmasked.  My apologies to Tom d G who I had accused of being the perp last week.  The actual creator of my fake admirer is none other than Jane […]

Summer Solstice

June 21st…one of my favorite days of the year.  Others include Super Bowl Sunday, Derby Day, springing forward, and the day the SI Swimsuit edition gets delivered.  I read an article today that talks about blacks fading in baseball.  Can you imagine the backlash if someone wrote an article on whites not being a bigger […]

Just For Men

After years of watching my friend Matt turn prematurely grey, I finally decided to buy some hair color.  I have to apply it by tomorrow night because the instructions state that you cannot go swimming for 48 hours.  That would ruin my weekend. Speaking of Matt, I “volunteered” to watch his family dog later this […]
