Boy and I traveled to the San Diego-ish area of California in order to visit my Uncle Rocky & Aunt Kathy. I had been really really really really nervous about it, seeing as I can’t remember the last time I saw Rocky, but it was probably at a family party in NJ (where most of [...]

When I was in the world of stockbrokers a decade ago, I drank my coffee black – no sugar, no milk, nothing at all. I drank about 4-5 cups a day. I next moved into the world of retail, and worked in a mall where I switched somehow to a coffee in the morning and [...]

Most well-known etiquette consultants will tell you that crashing any event, no matter how minor, is something that is not to be done.
Today is a crazy and maniacal pile of impossible tasks. So, I didn’t truly believe I’d even have to time to eat lunch, never mind go out. However, there was a brief respite [...]

Radio stations are changing their playlists, flights are starting to book up, and soon malls and shopping centers will be so crowded that women will come home complaining about shopping rather than bragging about it. It’s Christmas!
As always, I am unprepared. Girl seems to have already figured out most of what she’s doing. But [...]

Today Super Mario Galaxy was released. I plan to pick it up today after work. I don’t think I’ll have any problems finding it, despite it being the best game for the Wii.
As a result of this, I think Girl is avoiding me. You know, a boys and their toys kind of thing. [...]

This morning was a particularly lovely morning! I love that, waking up to the sun shining and the brilliance of another Friday looming outside!!! I even made it to the train a full fifteen minutes earlier than my normally early time. I had extra time to stand on the platform and admire the sun and [...]

So I hopped out to the local department store after work yesterday looking for a decent DVD/VHS player replacement. To my chagrin, there was no decent replacement available. Its seems most of the DVD/VHS combos are crap! But I couldn’t leave empty handed so I thought about taking it up a notch [...]

All right, if there is one thing I hate about my job it is when Bella takes vacation. The only person that knows how to do most (and not all, just most) of Bella’s job is (unfortunately) me. This is my own fault. Whenever I’m bored, she gives me work. Through the work, I learned [...]
