Thinking today about the quote ‘the truth of the future will be told not with the pen, but the eraser’ — I guess it applies to credit leveraged personal and sovergn debt, but more in context of true ‘social’ initiatives. A paraphrased story goes… Some Harvard hot shot is sitting in a room for of [...]
Cashing in on the pop goodness of Bon Jovi….you see, he’s a man that’s grown old with ‘coolness’ and dignity. While the likes of many 80′s rockers are in heroin rehab, he’s still selling out arenas all over the world. It’s the stuff role models are made of….no no no…he didn’t resort to slammin’ cheetos [...]
Tonight I access the difference between the Kevin Costner version of Robin Hood vs. the Russel Crow version, and for nostalgia’s sake, I have to take the Costner version. Often people ask a self-proclaimed musical snob like myself, ‘what do you think of Bryan Adam?’ and the short answer is , ‘I love him.’ I’d [...]
The benefits of casual dress is when you tuck your shirt in, people go, 'whoa, where did you come from?' Throughout my career I've been able to eek by with casual dress. My last job, I would come to work wearing an 80 dollar designer tee, hence getting reprimanded by our site lead, all the [...]

A RARE weekend, Robert is in a genuinely good mood, and no it wasn’t snowing, far from it as Manuelabor, Lacinator, and Fatboy without the Slim went out to the Ft Worth Stockyards. The highlight of the weekend was the drive to Sherlocks, Dallas, when we had Bon Jovi’s ‘Never Say Goodbye’ jammin on the [...]
Transportation, first in the form of the bicycle, finally got that trip from Bob’s place to Saengerhalle. A nice ride, a very scenic ride, until the very end when you find suburbia. I remember having family reunions at this place when I was a kid, not having any idea where I was. “Next time you [...]
YES! That’s right — 3 more ‘hair appointments’ and I’m finished. It wasn’t nearly as painful as my first treatment . Today I had some rookie punk rock girl burnin’ the hair off, at least it was good conversation. We talked about bands and stuff, and she was much quicker than the hot mom that [...]
