The 12th of February. Another major holiday sacrificed for the efficiency (sic) of business.

Everything but…
Everybody’s talking about it and no one is doing a darn thing about it. No, it’s not the weather. It is our tax system.

Sunshine Superman!
Imagine my surprise. In the middle of a snowstorm, Martha brought me a ray of sunshine. Yup. She nominated me for the Sunshine Blogger Award.

It IS Televised
I was enjoying some old jazz and R&B on the radio the other day and was taken aback to hear a classic Gil Scott-Heron composition. The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. And it struck me how that incorrect statement has changed the world around us.

No more brown bagging it…
The end of an era. No, I am not talking about sentient beings in politics. Although…
For most of my life, there was a monthly event that titillated young boys. And, I am sure it excited some that failed to grow up. Starting with its “inventor” – Hugh Hefner.

From GW to the Waterfront…
Wow. In the past few days, we baby boomers have lost some iconic figures. Glen Frey. David Bowie. All folks whose music I enjoyed profusely. Of course, Alan Rickman- a non-musician- died almost simultaneously to those two. And, today, Maurice White (of Earth, Wind, and Fire) succumbed to his Parkinson’s Disease.

Pure as Driven Snow?
Remember that beautiful snow that blanketed the East Coast in mid January? It sure did look pretty, stoked up on the cars, trees, and roads. Of course, it also meant we had to shovel…big time! Because, as I know from living in Massachusetts and Michigan, 24 to 36 inches of snow takes weeks to disappear, even if the temperature hits 60, as it has lately.

Deadly Purple?
Taking that purple pill? Well… maybe it’s time to reconsider.
I admit it. I’ve never had a problem with acid reflux. Oh, sure, once or twice a year, when I was sick, it’s been a very short affliction. So, it’s easy for me to say stop. But, even if it’s not easy to say stop- I’m telling you STOP RIGHT NOW!

Driving Miss Daisy? (And, Tom, Bob, Lisa, too!)
You know if you are of a certain age, you can probably recall the pent-up emotion and elation you had on your 16th or 17th birthday. Back when it was my turnfor this, it wasn’t perfect- impossible to get a drink until you were 18. (Nowadays, we think making folks wait- that’s really read as purchase illegally- until their 21st birthday is reachedto sit at a bar.)

Gaming ADD?
I’ve written about Bob Langer before. (This is one of my more recent mentions.) He’s one of the smartest guys I’ve ever known and has been involved in the development of a slew of radically different products. He’s also one of the founders of Pure Tech. (He is not an employee there- he stays associated with MIT, where he guides the next generation of prolific inventors to help make this world great.)
