Miami Dolphins at New England
A friend of mine that used to work with me has some connections (to just about anyone and everything — if you’ve read The Tipping Point, he is the true Connector!) in the Patriots organization and he scored a couple tickets for me and Reilly to go to Sunday’s game — […]

these songs don’t have anything to do with the snow, or winter, or anything really for that matter, just recently played songs in the jukebox of my life.

so…they’re calling for 4-6 inches in Boston, and typically the cities outside of 495 get more, and, would you look at that, we’re outside of 495!! Let’s see what this storm is capable of!

From an email from a manager I like to call The Hutt:
“If you need his design work, let him know…it will go in the medium priority cue.”

My boss and I was pretty close (as far as work goes), and I’m all for showing a unified front in the face of editorial/marketing/senior management adversity, but, I’ve developed a problem: My boss hasn’t quite figured out that if something is mentioned in a meeting at my […]

I’ve noticed that I’m a lot less stressed when I get to work, eventhough my commute is almost twice as long.
I know exactly when I need to leave in the morning, and how long it takes to get to the train. I always have a seat on the train, and I’m using the 50 […]

as I just mentioned, a late night is a killer for me now, but why is it that my drive, and energy, to do physical labor has dramatically increased?
After lazing about for most of the day, I tackled the remaining ceiling work in the master bedroom. I spent an hour pulling down lathing strips […]
