Nice Guys Finish First!

Well, I’m afraid I’m about to write another article that makes me sound like an old fart again.  I can’t seem to help it.  Perhaps it’s the price one pays as a parent of two college students and a high school freshman.  Then again, perhaps it’s just the price one pays for truly being an [...]

It would be nice to write about something cheerful, inspiring or at least humorous during this time of year, but unfortunately the fingers on the computer keys keep wandering back to Newtown, Ct.    I’m not really sure that there’s any license to address the subject under a blog theme that’s supposed to be dedicated to [...]

There are two types of vacations, from my humble perspective.  One is the relaxing type which includes trips like staying at a resort or renting a beach house.  The other involves a schedule of things to do, like a sightseeing trip or going to Disney World.  While both have value in offering worthy diversions from [...]

At the risk of further inciting an already frenzied mob of NFL football fans, I ask this question:  what’s all the fuss about these replacement NFL referees?  After all, what did you expect? At the end of last night’s Monday night football game between the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks, the game came [...]

I have been delinquent in my blog writing lately.  I suppose I could blame ordinary excuses such as the time constraints of business pursuits, preparations for sending two boys off to college, extensive traveling, or just pure laziness.  But none of that would truly explain my recent absence from writing, not even the laziness.  Not [...]

I made an inspiring discovery this morning by engaging in an activity that is rare for me; I checked my Facebook page.  As Facebook participants go, I must be amongst the poorest representatives, with a list of Friends that is so small it would probably be easier to call each one individually rather than engage [...]

It’s hard to fathom that we’ll catch Tim Tebow in a TMZ moment any time soon – probably not even in our lifetime, for that matter.  The devout Christian doesn’t drink, doesn’t do drugs and hasn’t even managed to utter one syllable of egocentricity during the hundreds of public interviews about his skyrocketed path to [...]

After all, this is a blog about nice guys finishing first.  Yeah I know, the Broncos lost their last three games, and Tim Tebow looked less than miraculous in those contests.  Okay, to be honest, he actually looked pretty bad by most standards of professional quarterbacking.  But even that fizzling finish can’t diminish the seven-week [...]

ESPN is the best at what they do, which is, of course, broadcasting sports news and entertainment.  One of the many reasons for their success is their uncanny ability to look forward;  to predict what will be interesting to their viewers, and then showcase it in a way their über-loyal audience will love. One notable [...]

From the 23-page Grand Jury’s report, the portrait of a villain emerges – or even that of a monster.   The details of the accusations levied against this accused villain are so disturbing that they almost seem fictitious, as if they were pilfered from the plot of a horror novel co-authored by Stephen King and Scott [...]
