About Me

My philosophy on work: If there's a steady paycheck in it, I'll believe anything you say.I work to live, I don't live to work. My life begins the minute I walk out of the office for the day and my least favorite time of the week is when the Monday alarm clock goes off.I like being outdoors and being active when the weather permits. I especially like doing things that allow me to connect with nature such as hiking, relaxing in a park, out on the water or anything where I don't have to care about the rest of the world. Above all else goes my friends and family, without them life would be meaningless.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.--Cliff Claven

Golf

Golf...a sport I never really got into, not sure why not, but just I never seemed to have an interest in it.  Maybe because I wasn't so great at it, I'm used to being at least competent in just a...

Leaving On a Jet Plane

Suck it Mexico.  Suck it long, and suck it hard. You will never be as good as the US at anything and this includes soccer.

Not a typical blog, more of a Tony Kornheiser pint sized rambling for this one

A sign of maturity? One thing I've noticed as I've gotten older is the types and frequencies of stores I will visit these days.  I started to notice the trend at my last condo but it has become e...

"Our boldest store ever" That was the teaser on the windows for the new Whole Foods less than 200 yards from my new home in the weeks leading up to its opening.  When I saw that I thought, "That'...

Packing it In

So Wah Keng and I have been packing up our stuff for the last two days and it never ceases to amaze me when I move just how much crap I accumulate in between moves.  This time I had nearly three ...
