I returned back to reality Sunday night after a fun and mindless weekend celebrating the Great Weino’s great wedding. I checked in with my dad to get the weekend update (on both my family and the world) and the first thing I learned from him is that it’s official: Wall Street has failed. (Actually it [...]
Lately, I’ve found myself reminiscing quite a bit about my San Diego life. I moved there a few months after college and lived there for almost two years. This was triggered by a few events. First, my dad mentioned that September is the last monthly payment on our Jetta. (I say “our” because he generously [...]
Watching the closing ceremonies of the Olympics was a bittersweet moment for me (and it had nothing to do with learning that the fireworks were fake!). I’ve so thoroughly enjoyed tuning in each day over the past few weeks that I’m sad to see it end. Perhaps the amazing accomplishments and worldwide interest in the [...]
Like most other independently wealthy struggling and chubby entrepreneurs I summer on the east end. But last weekend I found myself in Fire Island. Despite Miss Matt’s insightful and potentially life-altering psychoanalysis, there was only one reason I took the fairy to FI. I wanted to get as far away from the Montauk Monster as [...]
I moped off the subway last night a bit dejected as a result of a first round playoff loss in my wiffle ball league. In the second inning, Sitman’s little bro threw a change up that hung like Nathan Hale and that, along with a healthy dose of Tim Donaghy like umpiring, was the difference [...]
The moment my toddler brain was actually developed enough to comprehend Sports (thanks in part to a few Boo Harvey buzzer beaters) Sportscenter replaced Sesame Street and Thundercats on my television set. Twenty years later, I’ve yet to change the channel. I even remember exactly where I was and who I was with (Colby, brett [...]
For whatever reason they don’t usually award NYC with big time sports events these days. Think about it. No recent love for all star games, super bowls, Final Four’s or Olympiads. I’m not trying to complain. I’d take the NYC sports world over any other city in the world (Titletown USA be damned!). But it [...]
I have two songs that have been stuck in my head for awhile now and it’s driving me crazy. As many of you know I’m musically challenged. If life was an opera I would be hanging out with Lenny in the field tending rabbits. So this is as nagging and annoying as a kernal of [...]
This week I had one of those geeky internet “A HA” moments when I actually believe that I can see into the future of digital media. As I said, geeky…but let me explain. A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post about hulu.com and how it is fast becoming one of my favorite websites. [...]
I’m indifferent to Tiger Woods the person. His commercials are blah and I find him kind of whiney in interviews and press conferences. I LOVE Tiger Woods the golfer. I dig his competitiveness, determination and his perfect stance and alignment over the ball is, well, just perfect. When I lived in San Diego I once [...]
