My American Idol
Jordin Sparks Haley Scarnato was just voted off of American Idol, a couple of weeks sooner than I expected as she’s actually been finding her groove while a couple of presumed front-runners have been slipping. I was emailing a friend of mine about the show last week, and my take on the remaining singers entertainers contestants became fodder for this post as
Location, Location, Location
FIT One of the many appealing aspects about the new job is the significantly shorter commute, cutting at least 20 minutes off my old tip-of-Manhattan adventures on a good day; as much as 40 minutes when things really get bogged down (aka, a typical day!). I can now leave home as late as 8:15am and still
Play Ball!
Retirement Plan Baseball season starts tonight, and it promises to be an exciting season as the Mets march to their third World Series title, defeating the Yankees in 6 games. That’s right; I’m calling it in writing! I bought one of the cheapo Value Packs this year, 2 nosebleed seats for 5 random games, and a huge group
4 years, 1 month, 8 days…
Gomez, Me Friday was my last day at the Floundering Yo-Yo Publisher as it will be known from now on — 3 positions (officially), 4 reorganizations, 6 bosses — after 4 years, 1 month and 8 days of working there, and as much as I’ll miss some of the people, the place itself can’t disappear in my rearview mirror fast

Paid in full!
Yesterday, at approx. 6:15pm, I handed over a cashier’s check and was handed back a receipt acknowledging our final debt — a CitiFinancial loan we took out two years ago to consolidate debt when we were ready to buy a house — was paid in full. The car’s paid for; our credit cards have zero balances; we’re

Five Year Plan
Technically, next Friday is my last day at the company I’ve worked at the past four years and a month but psychologically, it’s over as of today, and a bunch of us are going out tonight after work to celebrate. I’ve had one beer each night this week to build my tolerance back up since I haven’t
