Crime and Punishment
I read today that the U.S. Government is going to spare the life of Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, the head of the Sinaloa Cartel. Instead, they plan on “Holding The Mayo”. I wholeheartedly agree…..

A Whole Lotto Beer
My wife and I are in Sonoma County. We love making this trip every year. My best advice to anyone visiting wine country is this – beer. This is the story of how we got 3 free beers from 3 different places in the same bar on the same day.

Designers Designing Designer Digs
For those who are unfamiliar with the concept of a design house, a very expensive estate in Pasadena is overrun by something like 75 “Designers”.

Mission Impossible – The Search for Siri

Fun with Medical Billing!
I can’t speak for you, but I can hardly wait to pay my medical bills. I accumulate all of the paperwork in a big file so that I can enjoy this in one big blast of reconciliation entertainment. Which, despite advanced degrees in statistics, I am unable to do. This necessitates a call to the…

Shedding a Tear
For several months I’ve been putting together an outdoor shed. You may be tempted to ask – “Why don’t you buy the thing?” Since I’ve been spending my retirement making large recognizable pieces of wood into indistinguishable small chips of wood, I figured I may as well try.
