Boating With Bob
On Saturday we went boating with Bob in New Jersey. We fished as well. We caught seaweed. It was awesome. Tobyjoe looked cool. I did not. But I did get to play with our bait. There are more here.

I’ve Got Big Ball
I want to be just like Tobyjoe so I went ahead and purchased one of these to sit on at work. Recently, I have had more and more morning back pain. It wakes me up every morning. Usually, the pain goes away after I get up and walk around. It makes sleeping in impossible. I’m…

Human Imperfection.
There is a fantastic article in the latest New Yorker called Central Casting. It talks about what some feel the Democrats need to do in order to win in 2008. I found the article to be extremely informative, almost uncomfortably so. It made me realize that I am guilty of thinking they way many people…

Don’t Ever Believe a Prick.
Nine days ago, I had my blood pressure checked, my cholesterol, and my glucous. I got back some pretty seemingly wildly inaccurate numbers. Today, I visited my GP to find out once and for all whether the rent-a-nurse was indeed smoking crack or if she was giving me correct numbers. I am A-OK. In fact,…

Corporate America Goes Postal.
The U.S. Postal Service is now allowing companies to design and print their own first-class stamps “We want to make mail more interesting to consumers.” (Joanne Veto. USPS Spokeswoman.) Joanne, I just don’t think this will do it. There are very few companies who, I believe, adhere to a decent looking brand and even fewer…

TMI? Too Bad.
About a month and a half ago, I started to load up on vitamins. Tobyjoe helped me to decide what to take, how often, why I should take them, and how many. I’ve been doing so diligently every day. (While we’re discussing schedules and sticking to them, I have flossed everyday since visiting the dentist…

Public Apology.
As someone pointed out on Gothamist, the flyer I wrote about below was NOT created by Wal-Mart and instead created by a group called Wal-Mart Watch. Had I read the entire flyer and visited the Web site prior having written both Jake at Gothamist and the post below, I’d have realized that they seem to…

Wal-Mart Goes Viral. Maybe.
(Edited to add: I have written a public apology for the post below.) I exited the 4/5/6 today. The usual groups of people were standing outside Grand Central handing out menus, free rags, and the latest giveaways, whatever they cold pile on a passerby. They’re like attack fish, these people. I usually ignore them. Today,…

Cell Phone Update
After reading what Charlie wrote in the comments section below, I did a little more research and discovered that the whole “put your wet cell phone into a bag of cat litter” has quite a bit of history behind it. I read that several people have used the little moisture deterrents they usually store in…

I’d Call Freud But I Can’t.
I have gone into technological remission. For weeks now, I have lost my desire to surf the Internet, email people I should ultimately be calling, watch TV, read blogs, check RSS feeds, and send text messages. I’m not sure why this has happened or when, really. Suddenly, I had just realized that the loop I…
