It won’t attract the Mormons but…

August 7, 2008

Unless Starbucks is going to start playing church music in their stores, I think the word “emergency” should be taken off of this SUV. “I’m sorry Janie, you can’t have a new kidney. Someone needs his macchiato. Now come on, yellow skin isn’t the worst thing in the world. We didn’t raise you to be […]

Who’s right: me or iTunes?

August 6, 2008

I bought the soundtrack from the movie La Vie en Rose on iTunes last summer. Now iTunes in its “Just For You” section is recommending the Brokeback Mountain soundtrack for me. I’m wondering what about me enjoying the beautiful voice of a Frenchwoman makes Apple think I will enjoy the soundtrack from a movie about […]

It’s not good to be cheap

August 6, 2008

Nobody can place a value on your soul but you and those you select to help you stay true to yourself. But in the realm of economics, you are worth what other people say you are worth as expressed in their buying behavior. If you are not fetching the prices you think you should, then […]

Why buy the cow…

August 5, 2008

Here’s a comment on one of my recent posts submitted by a reader to me via email as he was unable to do so via Blogger. [See my original post here.] “Look, New Jersey sucks, by and large. About the only good thing that came from New Jersey is my wife. And she doesn’t smell […]

Welcome to New Jersey. We suck!

August 5, 2008

I just drove back from Philly to New Jersey. I live in NJ. I’ve lived there for most of my life. I like it. Most of the state deserves the name “Garden State.” Come visit. It’s nice. But not the Turnpike. You know, that large road that a gazillion cars and trucks drive on every […]

A great time in Philadelphia

August 4, 2008

Had to go to Philly for an all day meeting today. So I drove down last night and stayed downtown. Went to Monk’s Cafe which is a very well known beer bar (see the Beer Advocate review). Had two fantastic beers. Then, because I had never done this and feel that all Americans should, I […]

Tooting my own horn

August 1, 2008

Winning the lottery is cool. But it doesn’t say much about you other than that you were lucky (and maybe foolish to bet on such a longshot). But what I just won is awesome. Check out my friend Jeremy’s blog to see the windfall that has just come my way. And if you have a […]

I did it! This is a landmark day!

July 24, 2008

This morning I stopped off at Starbucks on the way to work as I am wont to do. As always, I ordered in English: a “large” iced coffee with soy. Today, I got a newbie Starbucks person and when she relayed the order to the person who was making my drink, she also said it […]

From a city tree (7-15-08) Let me breathe the air I was meant to breatheI am not your playthingNor your prisoner The captive wind you let throughIs not enough for meOr for you And I can see what you won’t let me see Let us be free
