When drivers angry-honk at other drivers in New York City, they’re simply saying, “You’re an idiot. Move,” or “Grow a brain.” (I’m sure they’re thinking more than this, but I try to keep it G-rated, yo.) In L.A., an angry honk leaves you wondering if a bullet is about to find its way into your […]
Who remembers Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey? My favorite went something like this: “If you ever drop your keys into a river of molten lava, let ’em go — because man…they’re gone.” I was standing in the TSA line this morning at LAX. Terminal 3, to be exact — the same place where the TSA […]
“To every man is given the key to the gates of heaven. The same key opens the gates of hell.” I watched a documentary this evening about Richard Feynman and the above quote is true — so painfully true. “And so it is with science” is how the quote concludes. Science, yes. And business. And […]
I was in Laguna Beach earlier this evening watching a family try to leave Tommy Bahama. I say “try” because their daughter was enamored with the live music. The woman singing and playing guitar was really, really good. The four-year-old thought so, too, because as they made their way to the front door, she stopped […]
So I have a dilemma, but not. I’d radio the problem into Houston, if I could, but it’s not really that, either. A coworker told me today it’s simply more of a puzzle. I thought about this for a while. She’s right. Consider this: everything in our lives is a puzzle. Some are simple, familiar […]
When the light is green, the last thing you want to do is come to a dead stop. Might seem like a no-brainer, but someone did it today. Right in front of us. The impact it could’ve had — both literal and otherwise — would have been far-reaching. It’s green. Why is she stopping? The […]
Yesterday I stood in the security line at LAX as a moment of silence was observed for the TSA officer killed the week prior. I’ve never heard a terminal as quiet as it was yesterday, and I hope I never hear it as quiet again for a similar reason. It was a sobering reminder that […]
I have a necklace by Lagos that I absolutely adore. It’s a tiny dog tag from their sterling silver caviar line, and I wear it at least twice a week — despite the fact that people always ask, “Is that a cheese grater around your neck?” Yes. Because you never know when the urge for some freshly […]
I squeegeed my carpet tonight. I heard a tip recently that a squeegee works wonders at getting pet hair up and off of whatever it is that’s overly furry — with the exception of the pet itself. I’m sure they wouldn’t appreciate being accosted by a rubber-edged contraption at the end of a long handle. During […]
