It is no secret that traveling since 9/11 has included many extra precautions. I have since started wearing sandals to the airport in order to appease both the security people and the aggravated travelers in line behind me that still find the security precautions and the request to remove their shoes both bothersome and surprising.

Hell hath no fury like a women scorned! This week the wife of a major Broadway theater operator — had taken to YouTube to spill the secrets of a marriage in an apparent effort to gain leverage and humiliate the other side. Tricia Walsh-Smith, a playwright/trophy wife and her future ex-husband, Broadway mogul Philip J. [...]

THE NEXT TIME YOU HAVE S*X IT MAY BE WITH SOMEONE ELSE’S WIFE… If the research team at The Ashley Madison Agency did their homework right - and their findings suggest they have - then thousands of North American women will now find it easier to do what they seem to be doing more often anyway: [...]

Would you do anything to make your new wife happy? Would you allow the wedding cake to look just like her? Well, judging by the photo, we’re not so sure deep down inside the groom wanted it. The look on his face as he peers out from behind his new wife is just priceless. We [...]

I remember how I learned to drive. In my father’s prized sedan. He wouldn’t let me tough his sporty MG. I clipped a few curbs, but I did all right. I remember my first accident. It was a gorgeous sunny day in spring of my 18th year. ANYWAY, it wasn’t completely my fault, and no one got hurt. It was just a little mash-up that involved a pick-up truck, and a squirrel trying to make it back to its home tree. There was also an abandoned birthday cake in the road, when all was said and done. Long story. Anyway, the Road Tested Chair brought a lot of memories back– it’s the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time. It’s a chair. But not just any chair– it’s made from an authentic, retired New York City Walk/Don’t Walk sign. The sign really works! The seat can be turned on or off by remote control, and the sturdy legs rest on self-leveling feet. The seat is made of glazed resin– it’s a solid feeling when you sit down. You can get your chair all gussied up in a fresh coat of new paint, or keep the dings and scrapes and scratches in tact. Now, this is what I call ART.

They’re phasing out plastic bags at the grocery store. The world’s going eco-crazy. Soon we’ll be carrying our groceries to the car IN OUR HANDS.

I saw on the news how some kid wired his bedroom with solar power, then got his dad to do the whole house, NOW he’s going to back up a truck to the sun and hook up his school, maybe even the town. I’m still trying to remember to turn off lights when I leave a room. Baby steps. I recycle, remember? Anyway, I am trying to find new ways to shrink my utility bill. . . I mean, my carbon footprint. Summer is coming on, and with at least 100 days of sunshine, ahead, I figure I’ll try harnessing some sun power of my own, which my wife will appreciate since she’s all eco-momma these days. She set up a cistern outside to catch rainwater for the garden. I mean, (secretly) I can’t let her show me up like that. So I got a bunch of solar patio lights, to line the garden. And I found a solar-lit patio umbrella for the deck. The umbrella stores buckets of sunshine all day. At night, the umbrella, with its 24 LED lights built into the spreader rods provides up to eight hours of soft light. It even has an on/off switch. I mean I don’t need flood lights when I’m hanging out on the patio. Not gonna be reading War and Peace out there, just need a little light to the enjoy the late evenings with my wife after we put the kids down. It’ll be pretty romantic. And, think about it– no electrical cords to trip over, no miners have to go into the coal mine to light my patio. Now I don’t have to feel as bad about powering up the margarita maker. Hmmm margaritas.

Time keeps on ticking. . .

Recession. I said that MONTHS ago. And here we are. People, we have to do something. Who do I mean WE. Look, I hear the words JOB SECURITY uttered over cubical walls, above the constant hum of the copier, and in the halls at least three, four, five times a day. People disappearing, temps, sprouting out of the breakroom furniture– it’s CRAZY! I’m keeping my head down, my nose to the grindstone, and all the other things you’re supposed to do in situations like this. At this rate, I don’t think I’m getting the good ‘ol gold watch and the hearty handshake we’re all promised when we’re old and grey and ready to retire. I feel like I’m on some kind of new employment reality show. It’s like a nightmare combination of The Office, Survivor, and Project Runway or something. Insult to injury, you still have to look good at work– you can’t roll up in a humvee, wearing body armor. But you can have a sense of determination. The Antique Jewel Box Watch Movement Cufflinks make me not take the day too seriously. These links, styled after the work of the old masters of European timepieces reveal the inner workings of a watch, the art of mechanical design, all polished up and shiny, like me. I’m not just a cog in the wheel, brother. Got to keep on ticking on.

In November a decision was issued in the case of Linda Calbi, who is serving a three-year prison term after pleading guilty to beating her son to death. The presiding judge suspended her alimony payments during incarceration, however making it clear that Linda is eligible to receive them again upon her release from prison.
