Mary Lou and the Cabbage Patch Kids
I’m writing this Blog entry on what would’ve been my Mom’s 79th birthday. Happy heavenly birthday, Mom. My siblings and I are “80s Kids”. Born in the ’70s and grew-up in the ’80s. Star Wars. GI Joe. MTV. After school specials. The Cosby Show.… Continue Reading “Mary Lou and the Cabbage Patch Kids”
I Want In-Ear Communication Devices (A Review of Back in Action on Netflix)
I’m not a movie snob. I’m a proud member of the “mass” part of “the masses” and “mass media and entertainment.” So when Netlflix drops a movie with Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx and tells me that movie has fighting, guns, and explosions and… Continue Reading “I Want In-Ear Communication Devices (A Review of Back in Action on Netflix)”
Let’s Stop Using Hypophora (If You’re Not Going to Use it Correctly)
In 2025, let’s stop using hypophora in speaking and writing – unless you do it correctly. See what I did there? I wrote a clear, concise statement of opinion. Too many people, in real life, are using hypophora or anthypophora – figures of speech… Continue Reading “Let’s Stop Using Hypophora (If You’re Not Going to Use it Correctly)”
Commercial Critique: Discover Card
I’m a stickler for a good commercial. I overanalyze commercials. Probably because I consider myself part of the “advertising community”. The latest commercial I’ve noticed is from Discover Card and features Matt Leinart. In this ad, a guy (a Dad/dude) notices he’s standing next… Continue Reading “Commercial Critique: Discover Card”
Give to Caesar What is Caesar’s
If you were giving me a letter grade on my understanding, reading, and quoting of The Bible, I’m probably a C+ student at best. In fact, when it comes to paying attention in Church, I probably deserve a C there, too. But when I… Continue Reading “Give to Caesar What is Caesar’s”
My Wife Won Christmas 2024 – And I’m Officially Surrendering
They key to a happy marriage is having an intense rivalry with your spouse. Happy couples should always be tracking who does more around the house, who garners more love and admiration from their children, and other markers like “who remembers more things” and… Continue Reading “My Wife Won Christmas 2024 – And I’m Officially Surrendering”
The 2024 Christmas Card Letter
I love getting Christmas cards. I appreciate the generic. It’s nice to know someone thinks enough of me to address an envelope and write a little something, even if just “Miss you” or “Let’s get together in the new year.” I really like cards… Continue Reading “The 2024 Christmas Card Letter”
Announcing My 2025 Goals
I love New Year’s Resolutions, fresh starts, resets, lists, and especially To-Do Lists. I like writing things down (or Blogging about them, same dif’) because it helps me remember. Readers know I use Cal Newport’s Time-Block Planning each day, giving each minute of each… Continue Reading “Announcing My 2025 Goals”
Work-Life Imbalance: A Day in the Life of a Sports Talk and Sports Podcast Listener
Full disclosure (and why I call this the Work-Life Imbalance) …I work for Audacy. I create and sell Sports Partnerships. My business card says “Director of Sports Partnerships.” But that’s not by coincidence. I have this job because this job combines what I’ve been… Continue Reading “Work-Life Imbalance: A Day in the Life of a Sports Talk and Sports Podcast Listener”
A Mnew Mnemonic: Phone on Four for Four
If you ask some people, they’ll say I’m forgetful. It’s not true. My problem is, when people are talking to me, sometimes I’m not listening intently. That’s a bad habit and I’m working on it. When I want to remember things and work at… Continue Reading “A Mnew Mnemonic: Phone on Four for Four”
