Another funny e-mail from my Mom - I got a good laugh out of this, maybe you will, too!
Maybe I shouldn’t give you some of these, but here goes:
Investment tips for 2007 For all of you with any money left, be aware of the next expected mergers so that you can get in on the […]

For the next few days, I’ll be in Nashville, Tennessee for Sigma Pi Fraternity’s “Sigma Pi University” event. This event takes place every other year and serves as a training ground for both undergraduate leaders and alumni volunteers.
I will be presenting two separate workshops over the course of the weekend. The first is […]

Wow - this book was as close to “right on the mark” as one could get. In the final Harry Potter book, author J. K. Rowling wraps up a decade long story of a young boy who discovers that he is the most famous wizard of his time. Harry’s arch-nemesis, Lord Voldemort, killed […]

Wow. This movie absolutely rocked. From start to finish, this movie was about as close to awesome as anything that I’ve seen yet this summer. I admit that I don’t know much about Michael Bay (the movie’s Director), but from now on when I see his name associated with a film, I’m […]

The other night I had the opportunity to watch Al Gore’s award-winning documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth” in a downloaded format. I’ll be honest - even though I don’t like Al Gore too much, I thought that he did a great job narrating this documentary and teaching the “lesson” of the documentary. Now, whether […]

Not that this has a major impact on me since I’m a happy Sirius Satellite radio subscriber, but WCBS-FM in New York City is back to playing the oldies! This is really a great story of the people “voting with their feet” as the station changed its format over 2 years ago to a […]

As I’ve said in previous Harry Potter movie reviews, I really like the books better than the movies. I’m not sure exactly what is lost in the translation of these books, but there is something about the movies that leaves me feeling empty. Honestly, it’s probably the fact that it takes so long […]

FOX News debuted a show a few weeks (months, really) ago called the Half Hour News Hour. It’s a right-wing take on the Daily Show, Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update, and the Colbert Report. The show has absolutely dominated its competition in its time slot on cable news. Yet it gets universally […]

The television ratings for the Live Earth concert apparently were a failure. In the United States, the concert was watched by about 2.7 million people. In the United Kingdom, a few hundred thousand more watched - I think their total was around 3.1 million. But in the reports that I’ve read bashing […]

I’ve spent the better part of this week trying to get back to “normal,” whatever that means. I went back to work on Monday morning and though I believe I’ve been mostly unproductive, my co-workers and colleagues seem to be glad to have me back. You know that it’s always tough to have […]

This is one of those posts where there is no good place to start, so I’ll just begin.
Early in the morning on July 9, 2007, my Dad passed away from a combination of lung cancer and Alzheimer’s Disease. His official cause of death was just lung cancer. My Dad was 80 years old […]

My older brother and his girlfriend are at Live Earth in East Rutherford at Giants Stadium right now. So, naturally, I’m watching the Live Earth concert on Bravo to see if I can see them…because I’m sure I’ll be able to spot them in about 50,000 people!
Anyway, one of the things I heard about […]
