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 ...

Make the Most of What You Have

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

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 ...

Asking a Question

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

I have always been a guy of many questions.  For as long as I can remember, I have been asking everyone around me questions, including my at time infamous “what if” scenarios. It’s due in part to my natural curiosity, but also an innate interest in others.  While I’m definitely a ...

Back to my computer

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

I’ve been away for far too long from the Perfect Foam!  My humble apologies… In one of my last posts before leaving on my trip abroad, I shared with you my goal of abstaining from email.  I am delighted to report that I was successful!  Now it's your turn! For three glorious ...

Work, Work, Work

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

After reading a friend’s blog post on taking a month of for the first time since he was in high school (he's middle-aged), it got me thinking about why it is that our society seemingly rewards work above all else. Shouldn’t we have other interests (and time for them!) outside of ...

Titles

Friday, August 28th, 2009

It’s been a while since I’ve truly ranted, so I thought it was time once again.  The topic is titles.  As in Dr., M.D., J.D., Ph.D., etc. I’m of the opinion that titles should have no bearing on how we introduce ourselves or call ourselves.  I completely understand being called Dr. ...

No More Email!

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

At least for a couple of weeks. I will be embarking on a trip abroad very shortly and I have decided that for the duration of my trip I will abstain from email.  My goal is to not check my email even once.  No reading any emails as well as no ...
