The World According to Me

My radio station has 90 seconds of news at the top of each hour in the morning. For some reason they believe I want to hear about the latest exploits of Brittney, Brad and Angelina.

Okay, it is officially here. The day I wait all winter for, Opening Day for the MLB. We got a brief taste last week as the Red Sox and Athletics played in Japan, but now the rest of the league is up and running. On a side note I think it was unfair to designate […]

Normally I have no problems riding the bus. Not owning a car saves me considerable money and I don’t have to worry about driving or parking. Normally my ride home from work is uneventful. I usually have a seat and use the 25 minutes or so to plan my evening. There are times though that […]

Everybody around me seems to be sick. Sneezing, coughing, runny noses etc. I find this is one of the hardest times of the year to avoid other people germs.
