When this news… I. Lewis Libby Jr. News – The New York Times …that Scooter Libby is now a proven felon was announced, Beth asked me if I thought he would be pardoned. I said, “Of course he will. That’s how the good old boys network works.” She asked when it would happen. My prediction… Continue reading prediction: Libby will be pardoned on March 24

my favorite commercial of the week
The CEO of Polycom (where I work) emailed us all a link to this YouTube video. I thought it was awesome. The videoconferencing gear in the commercial are, of course, made by Polycom. But that’s not the only reason I like it. Tell me what you think of it.
back in the USA
Beth and I have been in Mexico for the past week, doing some scuba diving and general relaxing. We arrived home last night in the middle of a snowstorm! Yuck. In Mexico, we stayed in a town on the Caribbean coast called Akumal, at a hotel called Vista del Mar. Our room was about 5… Continue reading back in the USA

much better experience at O’s
I talked to the general manager of O’s Steak and Seafood about our bad experience a few weeks ago. He apologized, explained that the staff was unusually “overmatched” by the number of customers that night, and invited Beth and me back to try again at his expense.

Read on… A New Sith, or Revenge of the Hope by Keith Martin (this… Continue reading A New Sith, or Revenge of the Hope
mediocre experience at O’s Steak & Seafood in Westminster
This past week, I wanted to take Beth someplace nice for dinner to celebrate publishing her first travel article. And I was in the mood for seafood. O’s Steak & Seafood inside the Westin Westminster hotel gets really good reviews online, and since we’d never been I thought that would be a good choice. The… Continue reading mediocre experience at O’s Steak & Seafood in Westminster
sophomore successes
It’s reasonably rare that a musical group’s 2nd album is as good as their 1st. Many factors play into what’s often called the “sophomore slump” and I applaud a group that can break out of the slump and produce a 2nd album better than their 1st. Two bands come to mind immediately: Van Halen and… Continue reading sophomore successes
