Box office numbers and award nominations don’t lie.  My guess is that you probably saw “The Curious Case of Benjamin  Button” in the theaters a few years back.  Terrific adaptation of the F. Scott Fitzgerald (he wrote “The Great Gatsby!”) short story, featuring Brad Pitt as a man born old and progressively gets younger throughout his [...]

A few weeks ago, Rick Astley helped me introduce the concept of being committed to being awesome.  But there was
one problem in the post: we never discussed what “Social Media Awesomeness” really is, so you know what exactly you are committing yourself to.
So let’s do just that right now.
First, though, let’s address the elephant in [...]

The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. [...]

I traded in a good portion of my “man-card” yesterday, as I went with my wife and mother in law for a pedicure.
