Jersey Girls
I just got back from a customer in New Jersey and I’ll have to admit, I had a pretty good time. The owner seemed awfully “connected”…. wonder if that means anything?
One grip before I get back to the title: Why can’t I make a left-hand turn in this state? People used [...]
Yay! I won a Windy!
Sniff, sniff! Thank you! Thank you! You like me, you really like me! I want to thank my mom, my dad, my agent, God, the blogging community….

This past weekend, my travels took me to “Little Cuba”… also known as Miami. One thing I can’t complain about was the weather… it was beautiful. Sunny and warm the whole time… a guy could learn to live with that year round. Also my hotel was practically right on beach. Unfortunately, [...]
A Canadian Journalist Screams Out
Stay home, you pathetic whining maggots
By Ian Robinson — Calgary Sun
In the wake of the US presidential election, in which I cheerfully took a Sun assistant city editor, who figured Senator John Kerry couldn’t lose, for $10 (a quick pause to gloat here). Americans disenchanted with President George W. Bush’s reelection romp back into the [...]
