• J-E-T-S

    The Jets won in a roller coaster game! Woo hoo! One step closer to the superbowl! You know…I think I predicted a superbowl win this year. As a matter of fact, I predicted it on September 10, 2004, at 2:08pm. Two days before the season started. God told me so.…

  • Crossfire

    CNN has apparently decided to cancel Crossfire as reported by the New York Times. They apparently cite John Stewart of the Daily Show when he said that point-counterpoint style shows are “hurting America”. This is a HUGE coup for Comedy Central. I am proud of them. Comedy is the only…

  • Keeping Busy

    I think I am much happier when I can be productive. When my efforts do not go towards the progress of something, I feel frustrated and tense. I think maintenance of things is important, but the feeling of creative production is so fullfilling to me. This is a double-edged sword.…

  • Two Thousand and Five

    I’m happy to be back at work. The holidays are such work. So without getting into the details…we all had a good time, and I got a cool remote control. 🙂 Something interesting…I was explaining to Ethan what a “year” means. I showed him using his light (on his bedroom…

  • Profitable thoughts

    Handling things wrong again today. I want to say all the right things. Be the one with vision and foresight. And I keep saying the wrong things. My mojo is way off. Here is an example: I know from years of experience at Koko that small companies often make the…

  • Biorhythms

    I am in a bad mood today. Maybe it’s biorhythms. Maybe my body chemistry is wreaking havoc on my disposition. Although it’s tempting to think so, I think it is not my body chemistry. I think something is inside of my brain that is itching. Some anger or fear or…

    Happy Solstice everybody! This is the time of year that Katie and Glen try to explain our holiday celebrations. Usually we fail to make people understand. But, hey, there is always next year. Here is my synopsis in bullet point form: We are celebrating the Winter Solstice on Dec 25,…

  • Assumption Wisdom

    First, I assume that I am completely right, logical and thoughtful. Second, I remember that all my assumptions are suspect. JibJab is funny by the way. They do such a good job with production quality. Oh and try out this awesome new Google Suggest Beta. Very impressive use of XMLHttpRequest.

  • Power Broker

    I started The Power Broker this morning. At almost 1200 pages, it is daunting. It won the Pulitzer, so I am hoping it is worth the ride. On the child front, Jared is a pain in the butt. His answer to EVERY question is no. Want to go outside? No.…

  • Leo Marks

    Just finished Between Silk and Cyanide. Leo Marks certainly had an interested few years during WWII. I found myself feeling jealous. As a child, I always thought I had a destiny. A part to play in something important. That I would make my mark on the world somehow. 1995-2002 was…

  • Late goals for the weekend

    Do some shopping (already did some, need to do more) One item I got Jared was a guitar for 3 year olds. I hope he can learn how to use it. I always wanted to know how to play an instrument, but alas, I had no patience and no musical…

  • Millionaire and Poopy

    Yesterday, my brother’s fiancee was on Who wants to be a Millionaire? I have no idea how she got on the show, but it’s cool. They give you money just for answering trivia questions! You do have to listen to Regis though. Oh well, no such thing as free lunch.…

  • Why I go to work

    Conversation from this morning: Ethan asked, “Why do you have to go to work, daddy?” He clearly didn’t want me to go. I told him that I go because they ask me to do a particular job there and if I do it, they give me money. We use the…

  • Yiddish 101

    This is great, Yiddish with Dick and Jane..
