Last week I wrote this thought on my white board in my office: What is it that you most love in life, and how do you express it in your day to day routine? Thinking about the aunts and uncles who’ll be at this year’s Christmas gathering, and realizing that the list is getting shorter. …
While I continue to wander about in my head about my relationship with God, I continue to have encounters with individuals on similar courses, though, perhaps heading in a different direction. For example, last night at a local watering hole, while enjoying the evening’s Monday Night Football game, a gentleman ordered up his bucket of …
A friend once quipped about how stupid it is when MDs think that just because they are experts in one thing, that they must be experts in other things. For example, being an expert surgeon doesn’t mean that one is an expert at running a business (as many office managers for the medical profession painfully …
Not a great photo and not even close to showing the percentage of people who come to Friendly Confines sporting their favorite team uniforms. It’s also evident in the noise level and shouting and cheering how many partisans are in attendance. Go Bears! er… I mean Dolphins! jbb
I have these two wonderful friends, Dan and Terri, who are always looking out for my happiness. They’re a young happily married couple, any two of which is an oddity these days and whenever we go out they’re always looking for a woman for me. It’s very endearing to me.

Decided to get off my ass and do something about the world at large and volunteered to spend my Saturday helping the Obama campaign. In this case I went down to the local O office and then went out and knocked some doors. I was under the impression that I had twittered the whole time, …
Sunday night football @ mellow mushroom. There’s a presentation for the peace film festival down the street I was thinking of going to which starts in five-minutes. But I have over 1/3 of a beer left and I’d rather not rush it. Cute barmaid is on the stool side of the bar but she has …
I recently had my one month anniversary of my move to Florida. First thing that I learned was that it rains every afternoon/evening at this time of year. Being from Southern California I feel like I need to explain what I mean by the phrase “it rains every afternoon/evening.” Let’s just say that one single …
