Jackass Denoument
I was berated by a friend, colleague, and blog reader when I told him I hoped that 2006 would be a jackass-free year. "But what about your readers?!" he lamented, "What about our entertainment?" Never fear, I’m sure I’ll find something else to write about that will be equally entertaining. If I don’t encounter any

The Recap
While you’re all still voting (I’ll keep the poll open until midnight, Eastern Standard time, this Friday), I figured I should (finally) give a recap of New Year’s Eve festivities and the aftermath. I had a few party invitations which were all, unfortunately, way too far apart for comfortable party hopping, so I did the

Steeerike!
Well, I’m about to head off on my 50 minute walk to work — hey, I’ll just bundle up in my Nordic finest and consider it part of my fitness regimen! (There’s a transit strike in NYC, for those of you who aren’t from this neck of the woods).

The Big One
As I mentioned earlier, I’m giving myself a little jump start on my New Year’s resolutions. I have also bought myself an early birthday present. Since I’m approaching a milestone birthday, I have taken some drastic measures to ensure that I hit the second half of my thirties in top condition: I started with boot

Homecoming
The word started spreading yesterday. "He’s out of Iraq." "Is he in New York?" "Not sure, but he’s definitely not in Iraq anymore." Then later: "I have good info that Dave is back." "Really?" "Heard from the doctor himself." Whew. As you may recall, my friend David was shipped off to Iraq at the end
