Let me say this about that. By and large, we are an educated and intelligent society. We have cognitive skills that allow us to figure out most of what we face in our everyday lives. However, to be fair, there are a couple of general topics which defy logic, such as religion, politics, and women. But these caveats […]
Let me say this about that. Last week, I wrote a blog about fine wines that cost under $20. I included the ‘under $20′ metric because the wine industry is rife with product intended to create the illusion of quality through inflated price. In truth, it is rare that a wine costing $20 has a […]
Let me say this about that. On the whole, I believe many of America’s workers are under paid – based on the value they add, based on the profit they generate for their employer, based on the results they achieve. Conversely, I believe many Americans are grossly overpaid, based on the same criteria. If you […]
Let me say this about that. I reached my sixtieth year before I had one of the greatest epiphanies of my life. To wit: It is the life’s work of every man’s wife to discover creative ways to piss-away money. OK - OK, I have, in just two short sentences, succeeded in alienating every woman reading […]
Let me say this about. There are many things in this life that I don’t care for. Things that have absolutely no redeeming value. Things that do not contribute to the advancement of society and actively degrade the human experience. Things that are irritating, exasperating and vexatious. Things like athlete’s foot, car alarms, pressing #1 if […]
Let me say this about that. I really enjoy going on vacation and staying with friends. I travelled so much during my working years that I have come to completely loath hotels. Given a choice between a five star hotel and a buddy’s hunting shack, I’ll take the shack every time. There is a level of comfort […]
Let me say this about that. Part of what makes a great sleazy bar is the cross-cultural, mixed bag, mongrel ethnicity of it’s patrons. It is, at the same time, the best and worst examples of the human species. If it is true that the patrons of “Genevieve’s Bar” in Singapore were made in God’s own […]
Let me say this about that. Someone once said that: “Old bars never die, they just smell that way.” But, lets be honest. Which would you prefer …….. the dank, musty smell of an old sleazy bar, or of say, a dentist office? That’s what I thought. There is one sleazy bar, however, that may never […]
Let me say this about that. I hate to complain, but isn’t life complicated enough without all the worthless crap we’re exposed to every day? How many of us have experienced the annoying sound of a car alarm blasting away with no one lifting a finger to investigate? Has there EVER been a car alarm […]
Let me say this about that. You may not believe this, but there are actually stores in the United States that sell totally worthless crap. I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP! If you are a guy, it’s inconceivable that there can be a business that makes a profit by selling objects which have no purpose. […]
