That 700th dinger should be special, but the one before it will be a pre-Thanksgiving cobweb cleaning…

  • Tonight was my first night reunited with a gym. It was a great workout and I’m pumped and jacked to be back, but why does it take 30 minutes on an elliptical to burn 300 calories, but less than 30 seconds to consume them?
  • Life would be pretty different if the calories consumed versus calories burned quotient was reversed. Not necessarily better, but different.
  • Sloan has a new EP out and after one preview I’m not sure how I feel about it. Still, I’ll buy it to support the band and be there for their show a week from Thursday at TT the Bears in Cambridge. Here, see for yourself…

  • On to cheaply manufactured music… Hey Adam Lambert, did you hear that sound? Yeah, that was the sound of you blowing your career.
  • I never watched Oprah, but I think I’ll miss her.
  • I’m looking forward to hearing Clarence say, “Strange, isn’t it? Each man’s life touches so many other lives. When he isn’t around he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he?”

  • At a recent conference, I noticed them traveling in packs and solo, trudging on, heads down, their imaginary snouts sniffing the blackberries for scraps of data.
  • In the first ten days of December I have trips to Atlanta and Manhattan. I’m not even going to try whining about either. I am so fortunate to do what I do. Today I spent an hour basically authoring a comic strip for an internal promotion. That didn’t suck.
  • There’s currently no sweeter sound than that of my granddaughter’s voice. Speaking of which, she’s still up and it’s 9:20… Bad Papa!
