2023 Hairvolution (Meaning I’m Getting a New ‘Do)

Now’s as good a time as any to give a little progress update on my hair. Recall on January 11th I looked in the mirror and said, Don, ya just don’t look good with short hair. High and tight isn’t for you. Time to… Continue Reading “2023 Hairvolution (Meaning I’m Getting a New ‘Do)”

Your iPad Makes You a Loser

The NCAA basketball tournament means millions of eye balls watching TV and, hence, new TV commercials from major brands. If I ran a company, I wouldn’t even bother with a ad in the Super Bowl that gets aired once, critiqued like crazy, and forgotten.… Continue Reading “Your iPad Makes You a Loser”

Fountain of Youth, Part 1

A new person recently hired in at my company at exactly the right time for the health of my skin. It was January. The middle of a very cold winter. I had just started a new skin care regiment and got Harry’s face scrub,… Continue Reading “Fountain of Youth, Part 1”

Random Stuff, Part 9: Billy Joel (and Vinyl v. Remastered)

My best friend bought a record player, like many middle-aged, Gen-X dudes are doing. I want one, too.

Random Stuff, Part 8: Microwave Your Mug

When we lose someone important and close to us, we try to capture the essence of their lives in a eulogy or stories. I’ve been flattered to have given quite a few eulogies at the funerals of people I loved and lost. My Mom.… Continue Reading “Random Stuff, Part 8: Microwave Your Mug”

Two things I want to see before I die… a U.F.O. and/or an alien from outer space a ghost But do I, really? Because once I see a ghost I have to wrestle with telling anyone, keeping it to myself, or living the rest… Continue Reading “Random Stuff, Part 7: Ghosts and Aliens”

Random Stuff, Part 6: Rivers Cuomo is Cool

Maybe if I link this new Weezer video I’ll have some people who accidentally come here, to my Blog, to see it. It’s a cool video with Rivers  passing a note and passing it and passing it on and on and on. “Rivers” is… Continue Reading “Random Stuff, Part 6: Rivers Cuomo is Cool”

Random Stuff, Part 5: Pete Wentz is Cool

I’ll tell anyone who will listen that the best thing about Coronavirus and our nationwide stay-inside quarantine is that musical artists are bored, not touring, and they need our attention and praise. Those things are their life force. So they’re taking to social media… Continue Reading “Random Stuff, Part 5: Pete Wentz is Cool”

Random Stuff, Part 4: Brad Pitt Sucks

Recently I decided I don’t like Brad Pitt. It sucks to say that. Cuz he’s in two of my favorite movies (Fight Club and Ocean’s Eleven). He’s dated some of the most beautiful women ever. He seems funny. But he also has had his problems …with drinking,… Continue Reading “Random Stuff, Part 4: Brad Pitt Sucks”

Random Stuff, Part 3: Do People Really Think Like This?

Today, as of writing this, we’re on Day-26 of the Michigan Shelter-in-Place (aka “Stay At Home”).  Michigan kids, in fact, had their last day of school 30-days ago. I know.
