Well, as I said I’d do a few posts ago, this past Sunday I had the very great pleasure of driving out to Smithtown, New York on Long Island with my fiance Lisa and her brother Jack. That’s where the headquarters of the Guide Dog Foundation and America’s VetDogs is. If you know what a […]

NetFlix for Ties! Rent a Tie and help support a cure for prostate cancer #bluetieday
September 17th, 2012 · No Comments · Cancer
If you’re like me, you have a drawer full of ties you’ve gotten over the years. A lot of them were probably gifts, some you may have bought as “emergency ties” on the street, others were ties that you bought because you saw them and liked them. But bottom line, now you have a drawer […]

The deal starts at 5:00 PM on Thursday, September 20 and continues until closing at Cosi restaurants that are participating (and if they’re not, shame on them!). There’s […]

America's New Telethon: Stand Up to Cancer happens September 7
September 5th, 2012 · No Comments · Cancer
For years I used to watch Jerry Lewis’s telethon for muscular dystrophy every Labor Day. Sure, it got schmatlzy and corny at times, but there was just something wonderful about seeing Jerry every year with his kids. Sadly, the MDA seems to have made a couple terrible mistakes in the last few years. The first […]

Support the Guided Dog Foundation…and a 43 year old who's trying to pretend to be a 21 year old
September 1st, 2012 · No Comments · Animal Causes, Disability, Veterans and Military
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 […]

And likewise, the country stood together when President Obama […]

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 […]

Rent College Textbooks at Chegg – 5% coupon good all of August 2012
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 I’m not sure why I still had them on my bookshelf; the books are all outdated, they’re not relevant to anything I’m doing, there is absolutely no resale value in them, […]

When a woman goes through the nine months of pregnancy, her body goes through an amazing transformation from supporting one life to supporting two lives. Whenever we hear medical talks about pregnancy the talk always focuses on the child, how it goes from zygote to embryo to fetus to infant to a glorious noise, drool, […]
