Some Food Thoughts

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

The idea that the local/organic/sustainable food movement represents a form of elitism could not be further from the truth.  While this topic could fill an entire book, I though I’d make a short and succinct case as to why this is ludicrous. For me, there are three tenants at the heart ...

Superstitious? Me?

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

So it’s been a little over a month since the Boston Celtics lost in heartbreaking fashion to the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals.  The  not-as-mature me of a few years ago would have dwelled on this loss for months.  The somewhat-more-mature me of today ...

Bernese Mountain Dog Consultant

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

After a lifetime of experience, training, and study, I am proud to announce that I have recently decided to become a Bernese Mountain Dog Consultant (BMDC).

The Big Ticket

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Forget about Tom Brady, Wes Welker, or Roger Federer.  My current man-crush is solely focused on Kevin “The Big Ticket” Garnett, also known simply as KG.  Being a Boston Celtics fan, I have only truly appreciated the effort that KG plays with on both the offensive and defensive ends for ...

Think Before You Reach For That Splenda!

Friday, May 7th, 2010

I always laugh (at least in my mind) when I see someone reach for the Splenda or other sugar-substitute at a cafe. Especially when it’s someone young and clearly in-shape. There are of course those individuals that have to refrain from sugar at all costs, such as diabetics, and I ...

Good Old Groin Injury

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

Anyone who follows professional sports has experienced the frustration of having a favorite player go on the disabled list. Even more frustrating is when it’s for a strained or pulled muscle. In our minds athletes should be able to overcome “minor” injuries like these and when they are out for ...

Diamonds are forever?

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

A friend of mine who I will call RDP for the sake of this post recently requested that I not only begin posting again on a regular basis, which I plan on finally doing, but that I also delve into some more controversial topics.  My post tonight certainly is a ...

The Interminable Question

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

I was just at an event this morning and after the speaker finished with his program he opened the floor for questions.  Now I am actually I huge fan of asking questions.  This quickly becomes apparent in any conversation you might have with me that lasts at least five minutes. What ...

Happy New Year to all of my readers, the two regulars that are out there somewhere! It has been far too long and I am back again, hopefully back to posting at least once a week.  As I thought about my resolutions for the coming year, I reflected on what I ...
