I have been watching sportscenter all morning and they keep telling me about the big boxing match in Vegas. It got me to thinking that boxing is dead and UFC is alive. here is a story I wrote a year ago, that is still applicable. you know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™ UFC […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Our reliance on computers. When my hard drive at work died, a little of my heart died with it. When I packed up the night before, I logged off and said good night work computer. The little screen pulsed and the hour-glass spun and the information […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The Easter egg agitator. The street is narrow, surrounded by a canopy of trees. There is no sidewalk. There should be a sign that says No Pedestrians. There is no warning and the woman finds herself in a precarious position. The resident of this upscale community […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Cousin Bowling Night. 20 of us enter the bowling alley in Seaside, California. Like every alley I’ve ever been in, it reeks of foot spray and microwavable pizza. I see a glass display with designer bowling balls. I see mirrors that make the neon seem to […]

I guess radio announcers would warm up their vocal chords by reciting gobbledygook sentences of nonsensical oration. It stretches the lips, the gums and creates crisp dialogue. […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The Wolf of Wall Street. 180 minutes of film making that proves beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Wolf was great, and at times not so great. Wolf was way too long, but at the end I wanted to know more. The film was […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell what’s crazy™ Drastic actions as a result of drastic circumstances. The phone rings. It’s the station I’ve often said, when the station calls unexpectedly, nothing good can happen. “Where are you guys?”, the assignment editor says, a sense of stress in her voice. “I’m in the geographical center of […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Area 51 I was flying over vast stretches of the American West recently. Nashville to Dallas. Dallas to San Jose. San Jose back to Houston. So I had the opportunity to look out the window. “For all the urban clutter, we sure have a lot of […]
