Some of you might have noticed that I disappeared last week. On Friday February 4, I was in a very bad car accident. I won’t go into the details but I would like to send a mental hug to the creators of the modern day seat-belt (Roger W. Griswold and Hugh De Haven) as well [...]

Men in Women’s Restrooms- I Don’t Support It.
Posted in Life, Struggles, tagged bizarre experiences, Humor, Life, men, restrooms, Struggles, women on August 10, 2010 | 21 Comments »
Imagine my surprise when I walked into the Women’s bathroom at my office and found myself facing a man. I froze. Usually, I’m not lost for words but this one had me befuddled. My first reaction was embarrassment for walking into a Men’s restroom. That would be so like me. My second reaction was indignation [...]

Austin City Limits is one of my absolute favorite things. Every fall a ton of gifted musical acts gather to perform for three days in Austin, Texas. It is magical. This is something I have been attending for years. It has all of the talent of SXSW without the pretension and annoying people walking down [...]

I have a theory on life. It’s really brilliant. It’s called the Dory theory. It goes a little something like this- “just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming…” If you didn’t get the Finding Nemo reference then I don’t know why you are reading my blog. You probably don’t belong here if you [...]

Yesterday, a place I love was attacked. Yesterday, people of all nationalities were killed while watching the World Cup Finals in Kampala, Uganda. One of the places that was bombed was a place I know well. In 2008, I sat in that very same rugby club and watched the opening ceremonies of the Summer Olympics [...]
The Things We’ve Left Behind or Why I left Facebook

The things we’ve left behind find us sometimes. And there are places you can’t hide from them. But you can’t face them, don’t want to have to face them every day. But they don’t go away. And you learned and grew from the things you’ve left behind but they were left behind for a reason [...]
I am the captain of a sinking ship
Posted in Struggles, tagged captain, drowning, never, sinking ship, titanic on December 10, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Not like the Titanic. It’s more like a ship that is sinking but has the chance of somehow miraculously finding a way to stay afloat but probably won’t…but it might. My mission as captain (and might I add that I make for a striking ship captain) is to find that miracle glue or flotation device [...]
