My friend B has a love / hate relationship with Friday. I won’t get into the origin story, but ever since he has worked with us he hates being reminded that it is Friday. And so every single Friday we try to make it a point to tell him that it is, indeed, Friday. Each […]

After driving around in my wife’s Jeep this morning on my day off I had time to think, and had something really eloquent to say, but unfortunately I didn’t write it while I had it and now it is gone. I’ll just sum it up this way: I love living in America, even with all […]

Dear Nichole, Thank you so much for the large sampling of Flavia coffee packets. I would write you personally and thank you, but I try not to write personal thank you notes to members of the opposite sex that aren’t from me and Heather. I realize that your kindness will go unthanked, but still I […]
2006’s Casino Royale, the James Bond flick that introduced Daniel Craig as a new kind of Bond, was the Gandalf the White of 007 movies, if I may mix my metaphors. It was brilliant and new and unusual and better than any of its predecessors. One of its more unusual features was having a title […]
