Happy Monday. Ugh. Whatevs. First day of class for the kids at work, and other kids around the area. But it’s not till next week that we get the Black Commute Day (day after Labor Day, when all the traffic comes back), so I guess that’s something…right? Lyric of the day: “I’m lookin’ at you, [...]

Last Wednesday, we all woke up to the news that Senator Ted Kennedy had passed away. He’d been in the Senate since the age of 30, serving the Bay State for 47 years. Saturday, we all woke up to news-channel remembrances and the funeral being broadcast from the Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help [...]

Still recuperating from the fabulousness that was last night’s dinner. Always good to see the old Firm folks, but you people work too hard! (Liebling, I am looking at you.) Woke up today thinking it was Thursday, remembered last night’s dinner, and realized it was Friday! Whoot! Lyric of the day: “Wrote the book on [...]
Restaurant Week Is A Good Thing

I love Restaurant Week! My former coworker GW doesn’t mess around when it comes to his food, so each time RW is announced he is right on top of reminding everyone and we organize an outing, usually composed of employees and ex-employees of The Firm. It’s a nice excuse for me to go over and [...]

I am sure I entertained other commuters by totally rocking out on the train. So, today’s got a collection of all-Live tidbits! Lyric [...]

Wow, that Braddock Road Metro station is a target-rich environment. This morning’s feast for the eyes, a gentleman on his way (I assume) to work wearing: An olive dress shirt, untucked Khaki slacks (sort of a dark khaki, but definitely not green) An ID badge on a lanyard (natch) WHITE. PATENT. SHOES. Good morning, good [...]

Ugh. Who has a headache? Me! Me! Hopefully, with some coffee it will go away. But, Wednesday! It’s a bit early in the week to be ready for HH, but… Terrible news out of the Senate today, as Edward M. Kennedy has lost his battle with brain cancer. It’s sad…now all the Kennedy brothers are [...]

Well. It’s Tuesday, which is an improvement over Monday, I guess. Especially since lastnight’s true-crime viewing — OK, OK, I’m addicted — was of a show where the victims were named “Jack” and “Linda.” Oh, and “Linda” had three daughters and it was a second marriage on both sides of this poor couple. It freaked [...]
