Special thanks to Jon B for his incredibly natural narrating voice, and to the following companies for providing free materials to make beautiful wrapping paper: Discover Card US Bank Fifth Third Bank Nationwide Insurance Geico State Farm Insurance Delta Visa...

The Gift of Perception I find it hard to believe everything I see these days, and not just because my eyesight is getting increasingly bad with age (my theory is that my eyesight is disappearing at the same rate as my hair due to an evolutionary development that is meant to protect me from the depression...

Elbow Fat, and Other Reasons to be Healthy By now if someone is living in America and has not heard that we are one of the fattest and most unhealthy countries in the world, chances are good that they are fat and unhealthy.

I am somewhat chagrined to report that after yet another week of due diligence, I remain one of the growing number of unemployed Americans feeling the weight of unemployment on my shoulders and pocketbook. One can only spend so many hours on the job hunt before jumping off of one's roof, so I have developed... Continue Reading →

The article attempted to disprove marriage related rumors, such as one I've heard (and probably spouted as "fact") several times, which is that more than 50%... Continue Reading →
Lady GaGa's Music = Ear Poison I really like performers. My favorite performer in any genre is the late Freddie Mercury, the former lead singer of Queen. His flawless, powerful vocals, musical aptitude, and super-human stage presence made him the quintessential performer. When someone as dynamic and talented as Freddie Mercury comes along, not even a huge... Continue Reading →
John G and the Four Seasons Spring in Cincinnati is my favorite season, followed by Autumn, Christmas, Summer, and finally the rest of Winter. Summer is so far back on the list because I get burnt even when I wear spf 50. This is the tactile equivalent of spreading Marshmallow Fluff all over myself, and it takes just as long to rub in.
