Alice (Katie’s grandmother) died this week. She was a feisty old woman. She would would have turned 100 this year. I remember so vividly he telling Ben at Christmas, "I’m a wrapper!!" and crossing her fingers in a gang sign. She told great stories like when the first car arrived in town. She spoke alot…
How awesome is this?!? It's a view of Microsoft Live that has a flyby photo of my house. Super resolution! This is way better than Google Maps!
This may be the only prediction of its kind in the world. Vinny Testaverde will replace Tom Brady this playoff season at some point and lead the New England Patriots to a Superbowl win. Tom Brady will probably be taken out with a hamstring or related leg injury. Thus, Vinny will secure his legacy and…
The Jets lost, but they had a great season. Very young team. I am anticipating a good draft and a strong season next year. I am very happy with their performance. I am happy to make the prediction now. Next year, the Jets will win the Superbowl. I have been stressing out over Microsoft lately. …

The Jets don't have a tie-breaker against any…

The Jets beat the Chicago bears, but lost the game. They outplayed Chicago. Two critical interceptions in the red zone took away the victory. My heart sank. I felt queasy. Stress. Stress is all around us. We are disappointed all the time. It is important not to let this dominate our lives? So what if…
In many ways, I feel the theme. Make or Break. I am reading in my book on Lyndon Johnson how he stole the 1948 Senate election. (Stole, bought, whatever). I feel professionally that theme in my head. And of course, the Jets are about to meet their destiny in a stadium in New Jersey, Sunday…
The Jets Win! The Jets Win! The Jets Win!
Quicken just launched their new site. I had nothing to do with it. Sapient did pretty much all the work. As an optimist, I wanted them to succeed, but looking at the site, I have trouble getting over some significant issues. Task completion was definetely not a major part of the thought process.
