Observations
This Could Be A Worthy Blog Series
I saw this book repinned on Pinterest called 1001 Whiskies You Must Taste Before You Die. If I tested three whiskies a week, that would take almost 6.5 years to complete. This could be an interesting blog series. I’d have to learn proper tasting methods between now and May 15, 2012 when the book arrives. [PRE-ORDER [...]
When you lose your voice…
I was sick last week and stayed at home for a couple days, then the lack of voice carried on for another week. Just my luck, this is the time when I needed my voice the most, since: I met my web producer’s parents for the first time, as they flew in from San Diego [...]
Bizarre, weird and funny Twitter accounts: Would you follow them?
I’m not sure what’s the purpose of these accounts, other than pure entertainment. I find myself following them because through all my friends, news feeds, and social marketing tips, catching a tweet from someone like @AngryMime with silent outbreaks of “!!!!!” make you shake you head a little bit more. Worth a follow? @AngryMime This guy [...]

Here are my Top 5: Falling Trying to wake up from a dream within my dream (called a Lucid dream) Misplacing an audio cart during the morning radio show and having to poorly ad lib on the air (fear from radio days) Teeth disintegrating or falling out Being chased [...]
Sitting on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial
As I write this post, I’m sitting on the top step of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC. Ever since I moved here over a year ago, I always wanted to come here with a laptop/wireless card and write. I’m not a writer by any means, but I believe these blogs help me think creatively, [...]
Are you suffering from e-mail stress?
If my e-mail box was in paper form, it would probably look like that picture most of the time. Digging into my work archives alone, I’ve received 27,185 e-mails since the beginning of the year. I’ve sent 6,541. I normally have a few hundred sitting in my inbox on any given day. I’m not happy [...]
Why my Maxim subscription was extended to May 2023
I’ve been a member of Maxim Magazine since the 4th issue in 1997, when Gena Lee Nolan was on the cover and they only had 6 issues a year. I first heard about the magazine when I was getting complimentary copies at Y98FM in St. Louis, where I was the morning show producer for a [...]
Mary Poppins Remix
Have you seen this ‘remix’ of the Mary Poppins Movie? It’s genious. Well edited, using clips from the actual movie. No wonder I was scared of this movie when I was a kid…and I thought it was just the creepy guys dancing on the rooftops!
A pizza party for 15
So, about 2 months ago, I went to Smugala’s Pizza in Sunset Hills. While I was there, I dropped my business card into an empty fish bowl to win a pizza party for 15 of my friends. This morning, I got a call from a guy who was happy to tell me I was the [...]
The Longest Stoplight In Town
If anyone drives in the Marlborough/Affton area, you know about Laclede Station Road and Watson Road (by Yorkshire Plaza). That light is BY FAR the longest I’ve ever sat at. It’s like standing in line at the DMV! Road crews expanded the lanes not too long ago, and I was hoping it would make the [...]
Stop Signs are Yield Signs?
I learned the true definition of a city driver when I moved into an apartment in the city a couple years ago. On the way to work, there are three stop signs a couple blocks apart along Jamieson Ave heading towards I-44 (near Mom’s Deli). When I started commuting, I used to make full stops [...]
