Also, lay off the booze and drink water - lots of it - like a gallon a day. 

It’s true. but I needed an email account in 1994 ASAP and gmail wasn’t a thing yet so I signed up with Roadrunner which was bought out by Yahoo. I still have it, along with my ix.netcom.com account (dormant). Gad. I’m a dinosaur. 

“Overqualified” is a euphemism for “too old.”

There are a few people in my HIIT class that go barefoot. I just don’t get it.

I wonder if that successful author ever dealt with the staff at the New Yorker? No matter what bullshit the author would throw down, the copyeditor would have the last word. 

I have a stock answer but I modify it for the employer - “I enjoy finding creative solutions to complex issues and empower others to achieve their goals.” It’s sounds cheesy, and it is, but in the moment, it seems to work. 

How do you explain a long term gap in your employment history? Like 3 years? That’s tricky and I’d like to hear some suggestions to that. 

and don’t forget to add, “I was acquitted of all charges.”

Republicans, or at least those in the White House, lie because it’s not a crime to lie to the news media. That’s the mindset and the strategy. 

That’s true, but it depends on the industry. For example, a session musician gets an offer to play for a session, the musician will always say yes. The next question is “can you be here in an hour?” - again, the musician will say sure, even if it takes longer than an hour. Because once you say no, the offers dry up.…

Clinton was impeached, he stood trial in the Senate but there were not enough votes to convict. (60 out of 100 are needed to convict) And just an aside, criminal activity (such as a felony) is not a prerequisite for an impeachable offense. So when you hear or read some Trump supporter say that what Trump has done is…

Yeah, some folks hold back on some info, but Trump may blurt out stuff on social media just to rally the troops and keep things off balance even though he knows it isn’t true or accurate.  

Since I exercise at off hours, usually 9am to 11am, I have the place to myself. Frankly, the amount of rest is determined on what I want to do next. Doing crunches for a while then wander over and set up the squat rack, then go back and do the next set of crunches.

Have a few more drinks then you’ll be ready for the next set.

The memo is not a complete transcript of the call. The Executive branch needs to release the audio file and the transcript.  

There have been times when friends brought over vino that is great, but needed to breath for a while, so I popped it open at the beginning of the night and announced that we would drink it in an hour at the earliest.  

We went to dinner at Vetri, a swanky restaurant that for some god-forsaken reason is popular with millennials, Since I was the only one wearing a collared shirt and blazer and my wife was in a dress, we were seated in a cave downstairs near the kitchen and were promptly ignored by the wait-staff during the course of…

A passenger next to me was assigned the middle seat and I was on the aisle. She wanted the aisle seat and asked if we could swap and she mentioned some half-wit condition. I said no and settled in. She was fidgety as we prepared to leave the gate and asked the flight attendant to move citing her faux condition and the…

My dad was deployed along the wall in 1952 in West Germany. They gave him 3 rounds in his rifle. The sergeant told him and others in his platoon, that “we aren’t going to start the WWIII.”

what’s with the shot of a VW in front of the old GM building in Detroit? Not that anyone would actually know or care that it’s the old GM building. Or is that the old train station?
