Life Resume - Op/Ed
Purpose:
To give a true and accurate description of what surprisingly makes me proud of my life of almost 30 years. Before graduate school, I found I wasn't proud of any accomplishment on my resume (sales jobs, computer experience), yet this represented my life to the world. These are more or less things that have stayed in my head, entertained me and somehow shaped who I have become.

Guys Restroom Etiquette - Op/Ed
Guys Restroom Etiquette - Op/Ed
I was going to sugarcoat some sort of intro, but really what's the point. Ladies, I have no idea if this will interest you at all, perhaps in a "behind the looking glass" sort of way.
Men, we need rules. I am talking about the restroom.

A season of baseball "Virtually" done - Op/Ed
A season of baseball "Virtually" done - Op/Ed
Every single year it seems the baseball season begins earlier than the year before. But here I am again on the morning of Friday, Feb. 24, 2006 at 9:30 a.m. in front of my computer "working" while every 30 seconds I have a chance for the golden prize known as Chicago Cubs tickets.
Last year, the "Virtual Waiting Room" was my best friend. I had planned on getting two or three games and four tickets to each. But as soon as I was able to score Red Sox tickets I had a conversation with myself.
Me: Wow, this is exciting, Red Sox tickets, my second favorite team.
Myself: You know, I bet we could get a lot of money selling these tickets.
Me: How can you say that?
Myself: It's only 10:14 a.m. we'll have plenty more chances at tickets. In fact, we could make tons of money off this. You could pay off all your credit cards.
Me: So, what you're saying is you have to spend money to make money.
Myself: That's what Alex P. Keaton taught me in an episode of Family Ties.
Me: Sold!

Conversation Starters - Op/Ed
orginally published -- 10/03/05
Conversation Starters - Op/ed
Perhaps the cookouts are finally coming to an end. But if you still have a few to go to before the winter months keep us indoors, here are some rules to live by.
When it comes to cookouts (it is not a BB-Q unless you are actually barbecuing), one thought keeps running through my head -- and it has nothing to do with the amount of meat I will be eating-What am I going to talk about? Let me expand that thought.
What am I going to talk about with this guy that I have never met, but my girlfriend dragged me to this thing and now she is off talking to her friends and I am standing next to a Bob, Mike, Tim or I don't even remember his name? He is barely talking. We have nothing in common. This is going to last forever, argh!
Pants. That is another thing that reminds me of summer. I am talking about the pants my girlfriend wears in our relationship that puts me in these situations.
