It’s Giving Tuesday, not that you didn’t already know that. If your inbox and alerts are configured like mine, you’ve probably received well over a dozen emails and texts pointing you to noble causes and reminding you that while you’ve recently been in the midst of spending for you and your immediate loved ones over … Read more
I hope you had a better week that I have had. It began with a surprising convergence of recurring auto payments and annual subscriptions that even after I got last week’s paycheck left me overdrawn. That often happens to me around the 30th or so of a month; this time it was the 25th. … Read more
NOTE: This also appears today on our sister site, www.thedoubleovertime.com. Please visit it regularly for musings on sports. Yesterday should have been more celebratory for moi. Thanks to a one-time surprise gift and some opportune timingin hitting up an aftermarket ticket site, I was able to secure a nosebleed ticket for what turned out to … Read more
If you’re one of the handful of people who have found these musings via the site formerly known as Twitter, nice to e-meet you.

There’s still a few hours before it actually occurs (to be completely technical, it’s 4:10 AM Eastern time) so for those of you who might wish I don’t make it, rest assured you’ve still got hope. And I know there’s at least a couple of people … Read more
At just after midnight, I flipped my calendar over to the side where the pages now turn in the other direction. And then I threw up half of my dinner. I suppose I should be a tad more grateful than I’m capable of being this morning for officially making it to the second half of … Read more
I fully realize an awful lot of people are panicked after the events of Thursday night. That hue and cry grew only louder when a far more robust and hale version of the man who stuttered and fumbled his way through 90 embarrassing minutes proudly and defiantly addressed a partisan crowd yesterday which HUFFPOST’s S.V. … Read more
Recently, a co-worker suggested that I look into using the Nextdoor app to try and generate some potential leads for my part-time job.
