Tiger by (well, after) some tail
Ramblings Post #71There is an old country song that fits perfectly with this post. Written by the now wholly artificial Kenny Rogers, the opening strains of "The Gambler" used to be known to a generation. And today, facing a media onslaught and quite...
Office Breaks and Gold Ping Pong Paddles
Ramblings Post #67 The office is a strange place. You go early in the day, sometimes before the sun comes up, met and hang out with mostly like minded folks doing pretty much what you're doing for 8 or 10 hours a day and then....go home to real life?...
So they loaded up the Truck, and moved...
Ramblings Post #65A shrewd investor I read back in the day, when I read investment advice like some men read a sports page, advised that during a calamity, one needs to look for bargains. And if the current state of Wall Street isn't a calamity, I'm ...
Bar Chatter
Bar Chatter #4When it's not enough to make a post, but deserves to go out to the world... it's just Bar Chatter. That thing that Kanye did at the VMAs (which I did not watch) was not cool.It's called Youtube people.Had he said what he said in a littl...
A Quack who's gone to the Dogs!
Ramblings Post #54 There are a number of things that make me wonder if the grand creator really knows what he's doing or maybe, just maybe, he's just occasionally rolling the dice and seeing what happens just to spice things up. A few weeks ago, Chat...

Bar Chatter#2When it's not enough to make a post, but deserves to go out to the world... it's just Bar Chatter.Is Mafia Facebook's verison of that damned World of Warcraft? I mean jeez, everyday I get an update on what's happening in the game. Which ...
The New Terrorists are American
This is a political post. In this country we have a system. Every so often we sit down and we all vote and decided that the great ship of state either should stay the course or change direction. It was devised ages ago by our founding fathers, a syst...
Bad Concepts
Ramblings Post #47For many years I didn't have a cell phone. I was one of small group of individuals (I think the other six folks in Atlanta are still holding out) who felt that if you needed me, you could reach me at home. When I had no phone, plans...
Is Nothing Sacred?
Ramblings Post #20There are days when I'm certain I'm dreaming, that what is occurring around me has to be some sort of insanity my mind has cooked up. The things I'm seeing and hearing almost certainly can't be actually happening. But as in this cas...
The Office Moguls - Part 3
Ramblings Post #16Sometimes you can only feel that you've done something wrong because karma treats you so bad. You know that feeling, when suddenly that trip you've planned coincides with a sudden downturn in cash and you get the runs, you know, som...
That Word, I do not think it means what you think it means...
Ramblings Post #13Every now and then, I encounter an anomaly of sense that your average person wouldn't have encountered, not because they're not bright, but simply because they're not curious. Everyday I get surprised by folks who not only don't kno...

The Office Moguls - Part 2
Mental Rehab Post #48Before the madness of school kicks back in, and this becomes a virtual montage of griping about having no free time and I can't believe they want us to do all that, I gonna halfway empty my mind (partially to make space) and beca...
Office Moguls
Mental Rehab Post #37More of the detritus of the many days I've spent. Suddenly things are in flux, and I haven't had the time to stick more than a minute into anything. And I'm suddenly concerned about things I should have taken care of weeks if not...
I don't want to win the lottery
A Mental Rehab Post #19There are thoughts which are connected to other thoughts like we're all six degrees from Kevin Bacon. They don't look like at first, but this matches up to that, and to that, which looks at this and bam, here were are. Strange ...
Life in the time of Plasma
Personal Rehab Post #3After my stumble, we get back on the path to "faking it till I make it." Today I joked around with the girl who visits my desk all the damn time ....we'll call her...hmmmm... Swerve... and put the weekend and it's disappointment...
Somebody Turned on the Lights!
They're closing Disco Kroger.Okay, they took Buckhead and all the seedy clubs that gave Atlanta a nightlife and made it more of the international city it claims to be (note: International cities don't close at midnight). And then they came for midtow...
