I went through a phase in college where I collected beer coasters. I never did anything with them but after rediscovering them in a container when we moved to our new house, I decided to at least mount them on an unused corkboard. (Of course, since we’re in a new house and our tastes are […]
Hard to believe Oasis’ “(What’s The Story) Morning Glory” album is 25 years old being released in the fall of 1995. Oasis was basically a one-hit wonder in North America for most people but I was fortunate to be in England in fall 1995 on a University exchange which was during the height of the […]

Within a couple months of COVID-19 appearing, we’ve shut down billion dollar sports leagues, concerts, schools, libraries and more. I’ve been thinking a lot about the differences between a panicked response, a prepared response and a proactive response and […]
Coronavirus I was in a meeting tonight and in the course of about an hour, my phone buzzed to tell me that: 1) Trump was going to start heavily restricting travel from Europe to US; 2) the NBA was cancelling their season; and 3) Tom Hanks and his wife have the disease. It’s a wild, […]
We just returned from a week at the Crown Paradise Club Cancun so I wanted to write a review of our resort while the memories are still fresh. HOW WE ENDED UP CHOOSING THE CROWN PARADISE CANCUN IN THE FIRST PLACE Having bought a house in the late fall, our streak of visiting an all-inclusive […]
