Using Hashtags

I'm fascinated by this hashtag phenomenon. It enables me to express my deepest feelings in a concise, efficient manner.

People Who Assume That They're Smarter Than You

BAD NEWS - You'll meet people who will assume that they are smarter than you are.

GOOD NEWS - Most of them will be too daft to realize their mistake.

Good Enough

I did what I did

About as well as I could do it.

So, if you don't think it's good enough

Then you'll just have to...

...oh, wait! ...

...I'm getting another call...

Summer Olympics: If I tried this, I would suck.

Winter Olympics: If I tried this, I wouldn't survive.

A colleague came to my desk today while eating a banana. He finished and tossed the peel into my garbage can. The banana smell lingered until I switched cans with an empty desk. Why do people do things like this? :-)

Ski Jumping

Ski Jumping: compelling evidence that human beings can - and will - do just about anything.

The Beatles on Ed Sullivan - 50th Anniversary

"Ladies and Gentlemen, The Beatles!" - Ed Sullivan

"Close your eyes and I'll kiss you
Tomorrow I'll miss you
Remember to alway be true.

And then while I'm away
I'll write home every day
And I'll send all my loving to you" - The Beatles

Thank you, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Richard "Ringo Starr" Starkey for changing the world in such a fresh, beautiful, humorous, creative, energetic, and meaningful way. You came into our homes and into our lives right when we needed you.

And a big Thank You to the late Ed Sullivan for having The Beatles perform on his weekly variety show for an unprecedented three weeks in a row. He recognized that a phenomenon was about to occur, and he gave the lads from Liverpool a platform from which to launch their vision.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday!!!

Happy Super Bowl Sunday to football fans and non-fans alike! Even if you don't care for sports, there's something for everyone at the Super Bowl. I'm looking forward to watching the talented Bruno Mars perform at halftime!

I enjoyed a fun day yesterday at the Super Bowl Boulevard expo on Broadway. Blondie's live concert was probably the biggest highlight, but the multimedia show that they projected onto Macy's was spectacular!

I would like to wish everyone a Happy Groundhog Day and a belated Happy Chinese New Year as well.

I was kind of hoping that when Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this morning that it would bring us six more weeks of football, but no such luck! This is it! The final game of the season! Enjoy!
