Two hours until Valentine’s day. I hear what sounds like some female laughing her ass off in the room above me. I tried to switch through the TV to find the show she was watching. Nada. The funniest thing on was some public access station with a guy reading typed pages. He was changing from […]

Watched Castaway and had myself a fairly decent cry. Not, WAH! WAH! More sniffly and emotional like. A good Robert Zemeckis movie always hits the spot whenever I feel like this. Forrest Gump. Castaway. Contact. All good double-hanky movies. I know. Sad, eh? Send me some money if you feel so sad for me. I […]

Went to a party thrown by the Philly office branch of The Company. Had a good time manipulating the jukebox. Firehouses in Pennsylvania raise money by renting out their banquet halls. I didn’t realize there was a banquet hall in a firehouse. There aren’t in Texas. I wanna rent out my attic and make some […]

On my way back. Barely got out of having to sit between two really big guys. Nothing wrong with big guys, except when I have to sit in economy class in the second to last row of the plane between them. Contemplated suicide briefly to avoid dire agony. Begged stewardess to let me sit with […]

Been hunting for a power outlet for 15 minutes here at the Philly airport. Found one after 10 minutes of searching. Another dude saw that I’d found one and ran over to plug his laptop into the last free jack. Bunch of other guys are now swarming over us like vultures and waiting for some […]

Sitting on plane watching ”Never Been Kissed.” Dude in front of me is totally going over all this strategy stuff for getting into the pants of Halliburton. He’s using standard ecomm lingo in his little report. Total Cost of Ownership. What the hell does that mean? I remember when the word Enterprise started getting used […]

I left Philly on Friday just as I had any other Friday. One unusual thing did happen. The plane began to take off, then abruptly shut down its engines and stopped. We then turned around and started heading back. The pilot came on to tell us another aircraft was down field and that it was […]

I’m a perfectionist. It’s annoying. I’m also very fastidious when it comes to details. At the moment I’m in between decisions about what my job is so I’m letting my mind run rampant. I’ve heard two different takes and I’m waiting for the winner. I hate waiting.

We sometimes laugh at things and then years later wonder why we found it funny. It’s the same thing as trying to watching British television. What they think is hilarious is often times crude and stupid in my opinion. I’m sure it goes both ways. The ”Where’s The Beef” ads in the 1980’s for Wendy’s […]

I realize now that I was updating my blog everytime I was on a plane. Vacation made doing that difficult. ”Sir, you have to have a ticket before we’ll let you sit on the plane,” scolded the ticket counter lady. ”But I just want to write my blog in there!” I begged. ”Sir, we don’t […]
