What’s Your Name, Again? →
Honestly, it’s right on the tip of my tongue. I remember your face, I remember facts about your personal life, I remember how we met in detail, but your name is lost to me. I feel like an…
Wife Jumps Into 21st Century, Husband Mildly... →
In our marriage, I’ve slowly become the purveyor of all that is new on the internets. I Twitter, I blog, I have a Facebook page that I update from time to time. Sara, on the other hand, has been more…
My Bracket. →
Even though I wrote a post about March Madness and I have spent the better part of the last three days fully engrossed in every single game (did you see the double-overtime Siena/Ohio State game last…
So You’re Saying There’s a Chance… →
I was flipping around reddit while watching the middle of the Washington v. Miss State first half and stumbled across an article entitled, “Five Things You Didn’t Know: March Madness.” It’s like…
Elliot Spitzer on AIG and the Bailouts →

Good Commercials →

My Wife Is Awesome. →
It’s true. I was editing this afternoon when the dogs started going batshit, like they always do when the mailman comes by in the early afternoon. I went to the door and found a cardboard tube…

(Hi, Nate.)
Yes, it’s true. I used to sit in my home office, talk into a microphone and then spend an inordinate amount of time editing and tweaking what I said to…
