Is Blogging Hazardous to Your Health?

Last week, in my shameless plea for a book deal of my own, I noted that blogging had become “mainstream” because it’s now being written about in the NY Times Style section.
Today, we went beyond mainstream - blogging made the FRONT PAGE of the NY Times!

John Adams and the Stubbornness of Facts

A few years ago (pre-blogging) I really enjoyed reading the book “John Adams” by David McCullough, so it’s been no surprise that I’ve been enthralled by the HBO miniseries of the same name that is in the middle of its seven episode run.
The courage, intelligence, eloquence, and tenacity of Adams and our founding fathers was […]

Hey, I’m a Blogger Too - Where’s My Book Deal?

Yesterday my day started innocently enough - with a hot cup of coffee and my Sunday NY Times. I pulled out my reading glasses (a relatively new necessity bowing to my age) and settled into my chair, hoping to learn just a little bit more about the world and times I live in.
My eyes […]

Nasty Colds and Half-Fullism

I haven’t blogged in a few days, because I recently came down with some kind of cold/flu that has really knocked me for a loop.
I actually had to leave work early yesterday, which I can’t recall doing in the last 15 years.
After some needed rest, I’m back in the office but still pretty far from […]

An Unexpected Side Effect of Heightened Self-Awareness

It’s now been almost nine months since I began practicing yoga, and the benefits I’ve welcomed to my life have been pretty amazing. While I’ve certainly improved my physical state (my pants are a lot looser these days), there’s also been a very noticeable shift in my overall self-awareness.
However, there has been an […]

Working For the Weekend (and other Ramblings)

OK, here it is Friday afternoon, and my only post for the week is a love note to Brett Favre (did you see his press conference yesterday by the way - yep, I cried too). Not a good blogging week for me, I’m afraid.
For many little reasons, this work week has been one […]
