Okay … yes, I know. I just got back from Vegas and I should be writing about that. Believe me I am, it is just going to take a while to write something coherent about my days there.  Fine, fine coherent is a loose term here; Lets just say something coherent by my standards.

For now lets just say I needed the trip. Even though I hate traveling alone ( Read more... )

I think we all get caught up in the drama of our own lives no matter how much we try to keep things in perspective. Basically some how it seems we turn little insignificant things (like the dry cleaner not using enough starch  .. hey I am a WASP and we are all about starch .. and tea and scones and plaid .. and saying  .. so you think so?) into ( Read more... )

So I closed on a house this past Friday. I have only bought one other house in my life and that was back 9 years ago with Michelle. For some reason I remember the process as being a lot easier than it was this go around. Of course that doesn't really mean it was a less complicated venture than back then. After all we are talking about the male mind ( Read more... )

I want to say that I have mixed feelings when it comes to people in general. I want to say that, but I have come slowly to the realization that for the most part I really don't and never have had mixed feelings about people. It just took me a few decades to realize or finally accept this. We males can be very good at missing or denying the obvious ( Read more... )

I had forgotten just how much I like hearing live music being played. I first really discovered it in college while I was up in Washington D.C. at George Washington University. Okay, okay… that is not exactly true, I knew about it and experienced "live music" before I went to college but I don't really consider that "live music." At least not of ( Read more... )

You know, life is always surprising or at least I tend to think so; well and also surreal but I will get to that in a bit. I know a lot of people who complain about how boring life is in South Florida (or wherever they live). I mean for some reason it almost seems like they take enjoyment about going on and on in an almost non-stop rant of just how ( Read more... )

I am not the most tidy person in the world and I will be the first to admit that. It is not that I am slob or sloppy or even that I am just a typical male. It seems that many women hold the opinion that most of us men (well the straight ones anyway) desire to return to the Neolithic caves our ancestors. Well, and also that we still are cave men who ( Read more... )

I guess there are always times in everybodys life where you simply have so much going on that you barely feel like you have time to breathe much less do anything else. Let me tell you that is exactly how I feel right now. Its like I am caught in a perpetual game of trying to catch up this past month and now. Simply put there is too many things I ( Read more... )

Carmel is not what I expected at all, especially after hearing for weeks on the news about the heat wave gripping California (110 degree heat in L.A.) and the deaths it was causing. Carmel was cold, well not like snow on the ground cold but it was in the 60s (which is cold for south Florida and the rest of California). Also it was overcast the ( Read more... )

Okay it has been over a month since my trip to Carmel so I am little bit late in writing about it. August just has been a different month all the way around for me. The short and simple of it is that it I have been swamped with freelance work, got sucked into a lot of drama over at the Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce, and have been busy ( Read more... )
