This is the cover of the LIFE section of the Dayton Daily News today. On the masthead, it says “Life; You’ve only got one. Live it up” but the headline for the feature article is telling me to “get back in the car,” that sticking my head out to catch a breeze through my ears [...]

Here is the secret to the sustainability of The Simpsons: Bart Simpson will always be 10 years old. At first, this statement seems a bit puzzling, but think about why other social media icons have fallen away. The Brady Bunch grew up, the kid from Two and a Half Men is now a teen-ager, Eddie [...]

This is just funny and clever stuff because it is in context. The dogs leaping into the pool isn’t bad viewing either. And if you are a lawyer or a company with a lawyer and feel the need to send me a cease and desist letter, for anything I have done, said or will do [...]

Television adds ten pounds. It also add a few hundred square feet to a restaurant if featured on the Food Network or the Travel Channel. Case in point. Last weekend, we were in St. Louis for the NSCAA. Our one goal was to seek out and eat a Pointersaurus pizza at Pointer’s Pizza. For those [...]

Thank you Karina for leading me to this.

Why do we eat? The simple answer would be that if we did not eat, we would die. But that is not entirely true. Science can provide us with a pill we can take that would provide exactly the nutrition we need — no more, no less — to keep our bodies healthy. Yet, we [...]

In a CNN.com blog post yesterday, Ms. Palin is quoted as saying: I would think we all tear up during the national anthem at the beginning of a baseball game, don’t we? That’s an alikeness between Alaskans and New Yorkers. Sigh. I think she meant to say something like “common bond” or “the bonds that [...]

Few things make me more upset than “journalists” who have no knowledge of the facts of a story, write about it or get on television, answering phantom questions about hypoteticals. Then the anchor or host treats their answers like they relate to the story at hand. Then they guide the reader or listener through the [...]

I was listening to NPR on WMUB this morning about the freshman Ohio senators starting their terms and how hard their jobs will be dealing with the State having a $1.9 billion budget deficit, GM, Delphi, DHL and other large companies pulling out of Ohio and various other things. Many of the in-coming senators went [...]

I collect newspaper clippings for blog ideas. Mostly, the articles are things that sent my blood pressure over the edge or got me wondering “what if it were different” or just things that make me go “hmmmmmmmmmm..” These clippings sit on my desk, tugging at me to write a blog post about them. But there [...]

I pulled into my National City drive thru and this is what greeted me. I waited for almost 30 minutes before it was my time to send my deposits through the tube-hole. Hey, banks! Why do you thing the average Joe on Main Street is pissed off at all this bail-out stuff? Use some of [...]

At Christmas dinner, eating a 2lb hunk of rib roast in front of your friends and family is gluttony. But, in front of a television on a Tuesday night with two dogs, it is responsible left over management.
Congratulations, Mr. President

Following that speech, my new resolutions for 2009 and beyond are: – To reject negative thinking and reject anyone who says, “That is not possible” and seek out those who say “How can we do that.” – To reject any and all who speak racists comments and to speak up without hesitation, whether friend or [...]
