Has it been so long?
Apparently it has been a year and a quarter since I last posted. I blame Facebook. Ironically, I posted of a change in my job and it's location, and this week marks those same events. I now move from Sales to Learning & Development, which really means I'm moving from what I'm really good at to what I really enjoy, and that is education. It ( Read more... ) -
And so it goes
The year survived, I look ahead to future projects and a new office in St Petersburg. It's hard to describe what we went through in 2009; the mad hours of work, friends lost, great illness fought, careers changed, loyalties extended and tested, situations constantly changeable, and yet perseverance. One can only hope for greater focus, heightened ( Read more... ) -
Instant Karma
I think my tiki gods were watching yesterday. I was about out of gas on the way to work, so I stopped in St Pete for gas. There was a 20-something guy, pretty clean-cut, with a beat up car with Cali plates wandering around, and he asked me if I had any change, because he lost his wallet. I'm old enough to spot a scan, I think, so I dug some ( Read more... ) -
Game, blouses.
The other night we relived an episode of the Chappelle show; Lisa picked me up after work, and I was too tired for anything fancy, so we went to IHOP. I got my order, looked up at the waiter's nametag, and said "We just got served pancakes by Prince!"

KHAN!
Sadly, we must bid a fond bon voyage to inimitable Ricardo Montalbán. I did not realize he was Mexican, but I should have been tipped off by his name. He always played men of class, from the pitchman for Corinthian leather to Khan Noonien Singh. His class also shows in the fact that he was married to the same woman for 63 years ( Read more... ) -

Speaking of Don Koharski, Worst Referee In the NHL
Apparently we just passed the 20th anniversary of the fight between Don Koharski and Devil's coach Jim Schoenfeld, when after a 1988 playoff game with the Bruins, when Koharski gave one of his traditionally shitty reff'ing jobs, Schony waited in the hallway, where, when Koharski slipped and fell, he was accused of pushing him. This led to the ( Read more... ) -
Brushes with fame, hockey style
Brush with fame #1 - The LegendThe wife scored tickets to her company's suite at the Ice Palace (yes, I still call it that) to see them play the Penguins. Awesome, since we got none last year. Ironically, my boss offered me tickets to a suite for the same game, but we went with Lisa's. Then I find out Dave Andreychuk, a player whose 23-year I've ( Read more... ) -
Discovered while working late this weekend
While cleaning up file names of 403b plans, I discovered this:
Chisholm Trail Cowboy Church
This is made from awesome. They meet in the Winter Livestock Sale Barn every Thursday night. This is too kickass for even me to make fun of. -
The Guitar Man goes Eastbound
It's a sad day around the Land of Lunchbox, as Jerry Reed has passed away. I've always like some of his stuff, but my brother has got to be his biggest fan on the planet, owning not only all of his albums, but multiple copies. He's even learned his reknowned "Claw" technique of picking. He recorded over 40 albums, and he wrote the song "Guitar ( Read more... )
