First off, when creating anything on the computer you should always hit “save.” I wrote this entry yesterday and somehow never saved it so about 750 words went down the intertubes. Doh. Second, if you Dear Reader are my friend on FB, you should be used to reading status updates that mention how much I […]
The Gray Lady confirmed today something that I’ve always suspected: a nice schvitz is good for you, especially when you are trying to avoid a cold. While the article is about saunas and not steam rooms, I’m assuming that they have similar health benefits.
I have recently been obsessed with how I am “forgetting” things that I used to know and have started to make lists to try and re-memorize these facts.

The poem was straight forward and profound at the same time, something that is often difficult […]

There is a new face on Whitehouse.gov and our entire nation, and really the entire world, is hopeful that a brighter tomorrow is just around the corner. The real truth though is that this brighter world will built not just from […]
For all of you who have dreamed of reliving the great Wayne’s World “Bohemian Rhapsody” scene in your very own car: Fail! Happy Friday.
