Airline Help
Monday, November 27th, 2006Back on October 6, flying to Fresno for Reload, US Airways did this to my bag. Nearly two months, an official request/complaint, their possession of the damaged bag, and numerous phone calls later, and still no word from US Airways when I can expect to be reimbursed as promised. Any suggestions on how to expedite [...]
Dedicated to my son
Friday, November 24th, 2006If you haven’t seen Akeelah and the Bee, see it. Judah saw it for the first time on Wedensday night. Phenomenal. Film. Here’s a glimpse: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, [...]
Thanksgiving for New York
Tuesday, November 21st, 2006Last month, Scott McLane asked on his blog why New Yorkers love New York so much. I’m reposting my comment here in honor of Thanksgiving.

Sadistic celebs gone wild
Tuesday, November 21st, 2006+ Kramer from Seinfeld: “You see, there’s still those words, those words, those words.” Unbelievable that any 21st century American, especially one formerly loved as one of the great sit-com characters of all-time, could erupt in such a vile display of hatred and utter stupidity. He joins a long list of celebs who’ve crossed racist [...]
Random Acts of Kindness – Unmasked
Sunday, November 19th, 2006Paging Matt Stevens. There’s something to this random acts of kindness thing. After giving away $1.3 million in Christmas cash over the last 26 years, the man known as Secret Santa plans to give away $100,000 in what doctors are saying will be his final holiday season. But the reason for the revelation is an [...]
Daddy loves you, buddy
Friday, November 17th, 2006RAIN Rob Bell has a great video (produced by Nooma) about getting caught in a thunderstorm with his 1-yr old son. Reminds me of the song, “Wrap me in your arms,” by Michael Gungor. Lyrics: There is a God who loves me Who wraps me in His arms And that is the place where I’m [...]
Friday Miscellany
Friday, November 17th, 2006+ Too Freaky? “Freak Dancing,†where teens on dance floors grind up against each other in simulated sex acts, has been banned by an Orange County high school.
