Talk among yourselves

I’ll be away from home for about a week, on a vacation trip.   In case anybody peeks in here to see if there’s anything new.   I’m relying on all of you to keep the blog world humming along with interesting content while I’m far away from home.
By the way, I won’t learn to say “Don’t [...]

Cool new toy

Not guaranteed safe for work at all times, but I watched it for a few minutes and didn’t see anything outside the bounds.  Blogger has made its Blogger Play feature available to everyone.  It’s an ever-changing display of the photos that are uploaded to Blogger accounts/blogs all the time.
Fascinating.  Just click here and watch.
But don’t [...]

Local pleasures

I’m considering a road trip this fall, to see some places here in the US.  After the price of gasoline and finding decent hotel rooms, I will be concerned about finding the authentic things  – the local things - in those places.
Because I know that just driving into any US town means passing strips of chain [...]

Explains a lot of things

 
I’ve always tested out as INFP on the Meyers-Briggs Type Inventory.  A personality type that’s not at all ideal for the practice of law.  And I’ve practiced law for 30 years.  That’s a recipe for a lot of personal growth – and a boatload of constant stress.  Someday I may write more about it.

Nine Eleven

That’s not how I pronounce “911″ – the emergency phone number is “nine one one.”
“Nine eleven” means September 11, 2001.  Now it’s six years on, the first time since then that this date has fallen on a Tuesday.  I worked at a major airport for several years  – including 2001.  I don’t need reminders to [...]

Mayhem and foolishness

You have to love Niecy Nash on Clean House.  Always turned out bandbox-spiffy from head to toe.  Just the right sass and attitude.  Never at a loss for a well-turned phrase.  Strict as a spinster schoolmarm with those homeowners drowning in their clutter and mess who cling to their junk – even after they’ve let a TV CREW [...]

It’s Labor Day and I was bored

You’re Tulane University!
In the old days, you used to cheer for waves as they crashed
on the beach. Now, you’ve just been crushed by them. There are many regrets
that go along with this process, but now you’re hoping for many happy
returns. After all you’ve been through, it’s tough convincing people that
you’re safe to hang out with, [...]

What the financial industry wishes he wouldn’t say

The Denver Post business section’s weekly interview today: Michael Edesess, a financial industry veteran and author of “The Big Investment Lie: What Your Financial Advisor Doesn’t Want You to Know.” Full text below the fold if the link has expired.
Here’s the money part, pun intended:
Q: What is the small investor to [...]

I really like Ed Stein’s cartoon in today’s Rocky Mountain News:

Anything but pink

Life moves on, and so do I.
Several months ago I got interested in the goings-on over at Mary Kay Sucks, a blog that morphed into Pink Truth. I wrote a few items here on the general subject of multi-level marketing (MLM) and the specifically icky incarnation of MLM insanity known as Mary Kay Cosmetics. Some [...]
