So I was thinking about what I would be doing this Sunday, since it is Super Bowl Sunday… I have a few options of get-togethers with family, friends, etc… but it just dawned on me. I have absolutely zero interest in this year’s Super Bowl XL. I have zero stake in either team, have not […]

I heard a story on the radio last evening while driving home. The two radio personalities (can they really be called ‘Disc Jockeys’ anymore?) were poking fun at a high school basketball team who had recently lost a game. The score? 112-2 The two high school teams in question were the Earlsboro Wildcats (112) vs. […]

The last few days I had the distinct pleasure of meeting two very important people. The first, as you can see, happened this afternoon. I was in NYC working with a client’s sales meeting and their keynote speaker was Olympic speed skater Bonnie Blair. She competed in four winter olympic games in 1984, 1988, 1992 […]

My father-in-law was nice enough to offer us two tickets to the NY Jets game today that he couldn’t use. They were decent mezzanine seats and we, of course, had a great time despite the overtime loss. Here are few photos which I took today, including the last one of my coveted lime green Ira […]

Let me preface this by saying that I have never traditionally been a tennis fan. When I was offered two free tickets – through a contact at work – to the 2005 US Open Men’s Finals (A. Agassi vs R. Federer), I jumped at the chance because A) I’ve heard it’s something you should do […]

Yankee Stadium | Bronx, NY | April 18, 2005 Was able to catch the Yanks blowout Tampa Bay tonight, 19-8, with my brother-in-law Matt. Highpoint of the Game The beer man tripping on someone’s empty bottle on the steps and some guys heckling him with: “Steps Here!” “Watch Yer Step Here!” “Careful Here!” “Steps Here!” […]

Well, the Diabetes Walk has come and gone so quickly that it hardly seems possible that it’s already over. The walk was held on the corporate campus of BD in Franklin Lakes, NJ. Registration started at 8:30 a.m. and the walk began at 10:00. We got there just shy of 9 a.m. and signed-in. Fortunately, […]

Perhaps the most important object of baseball history in the United States is Yankee Stadium. Baseball fans, young and old, from all across the country dream of one day standing in Yankee Stadium. I know I did as a kid, and I have stood inside those old walls, among the old seats, with the old […]

First day back to work since Erin was born. The work certainly had piled up in my absence. I even needed to work a little late – which normally is fine and a common reality of my profession, but tonight was not the night. Not only had I been away from Kate all day long […]
