I’m back. Five days and four nights does a lot to a man, I suppose. Well not really, especially when it’s in south Florida. Maybe if I climbed Mount Everest I could call myself a changed man, but I suppose I can call myself slightly altered. I am somewhat tanner.
In terms of blog news, the [...]

Everyone knows who Aaron Burr is. He’s the guy from that “Got Milk” commercial back in the day who cost that poor man his prize money. “For a lot of money…Who shot Alexander Hamilton,” said the ominous man on the radio. But that history buff, with all his paintings of Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, and [...]

As a warning, this is probably going to be one of the more serious blogs I’ve written in a long time. Or for that matter, the only serious blog entry I’ve ever written with the possible exception of my homage to beards.
I was eating dinner with my girlfriend Leslie last night for our anniversary (happy [...]

Now, I’m never devoid of blog ideas, but I’ve never had that aha! moment to outright promote my company, findingDulcinea.com. My fellow coworkers appear to have had these situations galore. For example, my currently sick yet flame-retardant (unno, why not?) desk-sharer Rachel was able to give the company a shout out in one of her [...]

Remember when I wrote a blog post about Survivorman and Man vs. Wild? It was only about two blog entries ago, so your memory doesn’t have to be particularly keen. But in the past few days I encountered a new show that essentially wipes the floor with the other two. Les Stroud and Bear Grylls [...]

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. I just made that line up myself, in case you were wondering. I plan on copyrighting it the next chance I get, so if I see you using it, consider yourself sued. But those lines essentially sum up this past weekend.
Let me just [...]
