There are very few benefits to waking up at 5:30, getting dressed for the pool, driving 11 minutes to the pool, finding that the pool is not open, and driving home. You can probably figure that out for yourself. But what you may not know is that there are certain advantages. Here are five: The [...]

Take back the loser
I wasn’t going to dignify Valentine’s Day with a blog post, because I’ve always felt “meh” about it. When I was single, it sucked, when I was in a relationship, it was a day where there’s pressure to do something even if you just want to stay in and read a book. Now that I’m [...]

Rollin Rollin Rollin
I just want to remind you all that I’m still looking for some great 6 word blog descriptions. I’ve got the blogroll started on the page over there, and I’d like to add more that didn’t come from my brain. Also, I have to point out the great one that Brando thought up for me. [...]

A little blogroll updating
I’m bored with my blogroll. No, not the blogs on my blogroll, but the actual look of it hanging out there on my sidebar. It’s getting huge because there are so many great reads, and how can anyone decide what to click on without knowing what the blogs are about? I’m thinking of moving the [...]

Are they made from real girl scouts?
On my way to my office the other day, I got stopped by one of our fine warehouse employees with a magical piece of paper in his hand. It seems that his 6-year-old is getting into scouting, and it’s that time of year when the cookies get sold. Does the concept of girl scout cookies [...]

Who’s that girl?
Thank you all for your lovely advice. I probably should mention that I am the product of a loving union between a Democrat and a Republican, so I’ve seen evidence that politics needn’t be a dealbreaker. Man, it is a hard one to get over, though. I don’t want to say anything to fast too [...]

What’s a girl to do?
Say you go on a date with a guy who is in every way qualified to be the next Mr. Noelle Tannenbaum. Lotsa check marks in the “pro” column. Yet… He supports Ron Paul.
