    First, my apologies if you came here expecting another anti banana rant. This in my personal blog and I feel like getting personal today. So with that disclaimer, on with the show. I am a Gemini. If you are not into that hocus pocus astro base star sign silliness, it gets even worse. I am a ...

    I have been overwhelmed the last few weeks as parts of my past have returned - not to haunt me - but to join in my current state of absolute amazement.  I've tried to collect those thoughts into my first blog post in months, I'm sure it rambles but hey, it's my blog, not the ...

    News came out yesterday that sales of Rolling Stone magazine doubled with their recent controversial cover featuring accused Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.  These normally mundane circulation numbers masquerading as news served to provide further kindling to the debate that continues to rage concerning the appropriateness of the cover. Online comments pontificating on how the only ...

    Life does not give participant ribbons

    Unless you've been living under a rock you've heard the big news from the sporting world, news that originated right here in Indiana. Last night Bloomington South defeated Arlington High School 107-2 in girls basketball 'action'. Predictably for this day and age people have taken to social media to express their outrage and shock that such ...

    MOving On. No, not from the election. From October to November. It's been a couple of weeks since I posted. I know I was going to post daily updates on my Beards for Breast Cancer progress, but I've been busy at work with preparations for the election. So consider this my final, belated Beards for Breast Cancer post. Here is ...

    Beards for Breast Cancer Day 15

    Ladies and gentlemen of the Blogosphere, I'm just a caveman... Your world frightens and confuses me. When I see your tall buildings and flashing neon signs, sometimes I just want to get away as fast as I can, to my place in Martha's Vineyard. I'm more at home hunting the woolly mammoth than I am ...

    Beards for Breast Cancer Day 12

    This is very unusual for me. I promise baby, it doesn't happen very often. No I don't need to go see a doctor. I'm fine, really. Normally this never happens to me. I'm speechless. No, really I'm speechless. I have nothing to say. Nothing of interest. No controversy. No deep thoughts. No anti banana rhetoric. I just have nothing to say. Except, it is Day 12 of the ...

    Apparently I have been unable to smile this week (must be all the grey hair), so I decided to rotate my pic. It's Day 9 of the Beards for Breast Cancer awareness program. Growing your beard yet?  Why not? And don't tell me you can't, they still sell that hair in a can crap. http://youtu.be/2GeF7A05zQ8 Ok, even if you can't ...

    Day 8?  Can't be Day 8.  What happened to Day 7. Not trying to be a party pooper here but I really want my Day 7 back. How does a day just happen and you completely forget about it? I may not be a rocket scientist, but I know Day 7 happened in there... days just don't disappear ...

    The first debate is over and I've reviewed all of the national media and my own social feeds and it is very apparent that the winner of last night's debate was The Cocktail Party.

    Yesterday when I wrapped up my totally awesome attempt at categorizing my 2012 into quarters I mentioned that I had declared the 4th quarter of 2012 as 'Charity Disparity' due to the fact that previously in my life I had not only neglected, but actively avoided giving back to my community.

    Ok, I now officially hate the NBA. Not basketball as a game in general, and most definitely not the Pacers, but the NBA as an evil and corrupt organization. During the 2012 playoffs the NBA made us very aware of who they wanted to win this series. God forbid that jersey sales go down if the ...
