Well, the last two posts have been on somewhat controversial topics, and so I thought I’d dedicate this post to something as non-controversial as you can get: PUPPIES!!!!! Each year the Guided Dog Foundation and America’s VetDogs holds a bike tour. I posted in 2009 how my then-girlfriend (and now-fiance) Lisa rode the 10 mile […]

August 24th, 2012 · No Comments · Veterans and Military
As divided as the country is today, the country stood together that September day in 2001 when President Bush shouted to the Ground Zero workers and to the world that “the people responsible for knocking these buildings down will be hearing from all of us soon”. And likewise, the country stood together when President Obama […]

August 15th, 2012 · No Comments · USA Olympics
Here in the United States, one thing that was universal in the recent Olympics was watching the medal count. Whether it was my 10 year old niece or our company president, it’s something I heard everyone talking about. Most self-proclaimed “experts” predicted that as in Beijing, China would take the lead in gold medals, while […]

August 1st, 2012 · No Comments · AIDS, Conservation
I’ve been on a housecleaning tear lately, and one of the things I started to do was throw out my old business school textbooks. I’m not sure why I still had them on my bookshelf; the books are all outdated, they’re not relevant to anything I’m doing, there is absolutely no resale value in them, […]

Gifts from India that help Indian Artisans and Children
June 25th, 2012 · No Comments · Children's Charities, Developing Areas, Fair Trade
I had the pleasure of hearing from Linda at Sitara Collections (Sitara is the Sanskrit word for “Star” or “Morning Star”). Sitara is a remarkable site that sells jewelry, leather goods, accessories, Ayurvedic beauty supplies, and other gifts directly from India. Seems that everywhere you go, you see low-quality, mass-produced imitation jewelry in department stores. […]

I work in New York City, and one ubiquitous sight I see when walking to and from work are tour buses. They come in all shapes and sizes. But the one tour bus that has always stood out has been the bright red Grey Line double-decker bus. They’ve actually been providing tours of New York […]

Here’s a deal worth making a stink about (sorry). Available on Amazon are 700 Poop Bag Shop (TM) Biodegradable Dog Waste Bags for $19.99 by a company appropriately called “Poop Bag Shop”. That’s enough to last for almost a whole year. No more scrounging around for plastic garbage bags. The bags come in blue or black colors […]
