Just when I thought I couldn’t love this guy any more, he pops up on the late night news speaking in front of a public library! (Sorry for the crappy photo – taken in a darkened room of a crappy TV.)
So I’ve been thinking about the “Long Game” quite a bit lately. Essentially, “Playing the Long Game” refers to the idea of not just focusing on an immediate goal but also laying the groundwork for something important further in the future, even if it seems like something unattainable initially. (A similar idea is often expressed […]
I’m still on a big Prince kick after hearing the news of his passing last Thursday. I listened to Prince songs all weekend, played a bunch of his songs (poorly) on guitar, even convinced Shea to watch “Purple Rain” with me last night. (“Is this movie cheesy or was it just the 80’s?” she asked. […]
I occasionally post on Reddit but most of my comments get a handful of upvotes (maybe) then disappear into obscurity.

Former Toronto Mayor, Rob Ford, died of cancer today at age 46. Whether you loved him or hated him, you’ll remember him. Of course, that’s mostly because he was a wild-eyed addict who regularly made racist and offensive comments topped by his surreal admission that he used crack while in office.

Results are still coming in but right now, Hillary Clinton is declared in 3 out of 5 “Super Tuesday III” states and leading in two others. It’s not over yet but if this holds, it’s hard to say how Bernie has any path to the nomination and goes forward from here it becomes much more of […]
