Yeah, that title's a real stretch. Sorry. It's real cloudy and rainy out. Dark as anything. So that just makes it real tough to come up with something punny and witty and clever. If it helps, I'm off to see the new "Harry Potter" flick tonight, so that's also distracting me. Hmm... Sports Authority... sports. Continue Reading

I don't know why, but I just love football. Playing it's fun, but I'm talking about tossing back a few beers while downing way too many spicy wings and nachos and watching the Pittsburgh Steelers, well, most likely get trounced if we're talking last year. I think it's the fact that the season's so short Continue Reading

Well, we're halfway through July, so that means it's time for all those back-to-school sales to start ramping up. These days it's all about computers, iPods and GPS systems. And I'm talking about elementary school kids! I remember back in my childhood days the biggest thing about going back to school was picking out a Continue Reading

I can't remember the last time I wore a watch. It was definitely after college but was probably about the time I started carrying around a cell phone full time. It used to be when you'd ask someone for the time, they'd instantly flip their arm up to take a peek at their watch. Nowadays, Continue Reading

Sorry, but I'm a big Simpsons fan and cannot wait for the movie coming out this month. I'm debating buying a plane ticket to head to L.A. just so I can see the 7-11 Kwik-E-Mart they've got there. Mmmm... blue squishees... Anyways, I can't compete with Homer and Company, so I'll just post a quick Continue Reading

I wear contact lenses. Been wearing them since high school in fact. Man did they used to be suuuch a pain. I'd have one pair that would last a good 6 months, but I had to clean them every single night, and do some crazy enzyme-cleaning thing (was like dropping alka seltzer in water) every Continue Reading

You'd think with a name like ShopNBC, you'd find a peacock-filled site full of "Friends" T-shirts, "Frasier" coffee mugs and "Heroes"capes and accessories. Far from it. Turns out, ShopNBC is a full-fledged online shopping mall full of jewelry, housewares, electronics, apparel, etc. And hey, there's even a television channel with the same name, offering similar Continue Reading

Still on the road with the family so no funny stories. Sorry. Although last night we did pass a White Castle restaurant after we finished eating dinner elsewhere. Despite the evil eyes from wifey (what, the Castle's not romantic?!?), I still would've sneaked out in the middle of the night for a few Sliders. Sigh. Continue Reading

So I'm posting this one from the road. Wifey and I took the 2 kids down to the Jersey Shore for a little mini-vacation (as opposed to a maxi-vacation?). We haven't really gone anywhere in about a year I'd say (at least anywhere where we had to sleep over). So we hit the beach this Continue Reading

I'm a New Yorker. Lived here my entire life. I've traveled a bit around this country (mostly on both coasts) and the proverbial post-college 5-week backpacking trek through Europe. But through it all, I've got to say that San Francisco is my all-time favorite city. (Well, not just the city, but the surrounding counties like Continue Reading
