Good Grief!

Attention Live 8 goers! Did you know that there will be a limited number of Jiffy Johns available during Saturday’s concert? Also, no drinking on the Parkway.
Never fear—I live within walking distance of the stage (see map) and will be offering the following services throughout the day:

Use of bathroom (guaranteed supply of toilet paper): […]

Yesterday the soulless office park Business Intelligence crew, led by boss-across-the-hall, played hooky at Six Flags Great Adventure to celebrate our Award. For job security reasons I don’t talk much about work, but I’m leaving anyway, so what the hell?
A few months ago, boss-across gave me the green light to enter one of our […]

Saturday’s Phillies versus Red Sox outing was bittersweet. Not because the Phillies lost, but because one of my favorite baseball players officially retired. Just as we got to our seats, Doug Glanville, the outfielder with the stunning smile, threw out the first pitch. Glanville has ties to the area and grew up […]

Guess what arrived at the soulless office park this morning? My cell phone! How is it possible for Verizon to ship a phone in less time than the average wait on their customer service hotline? It is truly amazing.
Even though I’ve only made two calls so far, I can feel radio waves and gamma waves […]

Because of the upcoming home purchase, break between jobs, and trip to Maine, I am in extreme cheapskate mode. Just ask the poor bastard who had to help me at the Verizon Wireless store. I gave him the business about mail-in rebates (which I always forget to send in) versus instant rebates and marched out […]

There must be something in the water around here* because things are happening. Big things. Superwoman got a job in San Francisco, and her first day was Monday. I know she’ll kick ass and I couldn’t be happier for her, but life just won’t be the same without Superwoman’s hospitality, warmth, and ability to listen […]

A few readers have privately expressed dismay at seeing Dick Cheney’s picture on top of the weblog and have asked could I please put up a new entry? Fair enough, so I’m ending the week with a much happier image: New York’s Ommegang brewery. I visited Ommegang back in May and will update later with […]

A few years ago, I was watching a James Bond movie—From Russia With Love, I think—and was surprised to see Sean Connery getting it on with a beautiful woman who had less that perfectly smooth thighs. I’d have to watch again to be sure, but I think that she had what today would be […]

Nature by itself is good, but certain amenities are sure to enhance your outdoor experience. For example, note the ceiling fan, rocking chairs, and hammock in the above photo. Not pictured are the three full bathrooms, modern kitchen with dishwasher, washer and dryer, and the second hammock.
Unfortunately, even the best accommodations can’t help you when […]
