There are those of us who remember Dudley Moore who died in 2002. As an actor, he was hysterically funny - particularly when playing the part of a drunk. He was absolutely believable.
What we may have forgotten along the way is that Dudley Moore wasn’t just Arthur in the movies…he was an extraordinary pianist. He [...]

Writing a blog is similar to eating chicken noodle soup when you’re ill with the flu. After a hard, weird day at work blogging is comforting, warm, familiar, and satisfying.
Simply put, blogging is keeping a diary. That’s a cool thing for so many people. We are able to vent, complain, whine, brag, yak about BS, advertise, [...]

You have to admit it…whether or not you like dogs, cats, children, or spiders…pictures of kittens, puppies, and babies will tug at your heartstrings every time!
No wonder advertisers use photos and videos of baby animals and precious babies to get their message across to us.
Almost a guaranteed hit. The photos and videos make you smile [...]

Smart Water. The Best BS in the Business
Cool bottle.
Ultra-cool chat on the label.
Even a phenomenal website. Who is smart here? I first saw Smart Water appear on an employee’s desk about a year ago. Thing is, she wasn’t that smart.
So, I figured – what the heck…she’s going to get smart. That’s a good thing.
According to [...]

Living in Las Vegas does rub off on one. Whether or not any of us locals want to admit it or not, our minds tend to wander towards “taking the odds.”
I remember one of our vendors once asking me innocently, “Well, as a resident there, certainly you don’t gamble, right?”

Ever seen a pig fly?
I doubt it.
This became my favorite theme and saying about 10 years ago, and I just can’t let it go.
“When Pigs Fly” Definitions:
Bad things happen to bad people – just watch; you’ll see karma hit them square in the eye for that evil thing they did
