Towels

May 28th, 2008 · No Comments

I made a grave mistake a couple weeks back. In my own unique style of doing things, I neglected to grab my wife’s towel from the towel hanger and place it near the shower enclosure along with my own prior to a nightly shower.
I was verbally abused. Very verbally. Lots of verbs […]

10 little monkeys jumping on a bed

May 23rd, 2008 · No Comments

That is how most of my meetings feel… 10 monkeys arguing over completely different points, and they all think it is the same idea.
One falls down and breaks his head. He falls down because he gets slapped down by someone’s else’s political power, even if the poor monkey’s way is the best way, […]

My day in Vegas

May 15th, 2008 · No Comments

Here is the view from my bedroom. That will get you started thinking about what kind of room I had.
I was traveling with a few other guys from my company, and we stayed in the Venetian. The front desk told me all the rooms were sold, so they had to put […]

Albuquerque: Color me NOT impressed

May 12th, 2008 · No Comments

Scrub, desert, beautiful arid mountains - love it.
Homes caving in and and disgustingly dirty streets, store fronts and homes? Am I in Afghanistan or Baghdad?
Good heavens, this place is a pit. Seriously.
You would think a city founded in 1708 (yes I learned something!) would be a bit more refined.

Iron Man

Two words, plus requisite emphasized punctuation, to review the entire movie:
“FUCKING SWEET (PERIOD)”
I will have to see it again. Probably the best Marvel movie to date by far… perhaps even better than Spidey 2.
