UShistory would have played out differently if our Founding Fathers had called the Bill of Rights the "top 10 tips for avoiding despotism"

There's the concept of "tipping point" when trend unstoppable. I'd like to propose a "tipsy point" when trend gets high on its own fumes.

Warm days in February are so rare that they seem magical. We hit 70 today. Walked around jacketless. Had half a mind to put on short pants.

61° here at 7:07am in Foley, Alabama. Happy to be just sitting out here sipping my coffee without a jacket absorbing the morning.

ISIL stands for "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant." Who calls it "The Levant" anymore? That's like calling China"Cathay."

My son's Alabaman mother-in-law Teresa tells me he speaks and moves like me. I told her he must have inherited my blunt Detroit accent.

Of course I'm healthy as a horse most of the time, but come down with a raging headcold just in time to see our son get married.

Sure is cold down here on the GulfCoast. It was in the 20s when I woke up. At least I'm glad the sea didn't freeze like Niagara Falls.

Hotel business centers. Practically the only place left in the business world where they have desktop computers.

Glad to have another ex-Forresterite Rob Koplowitz joining IBM. Great analyst, great guy.

Traveling with my girls to see our boy and his lady tie the knot. On the beach.

RIP Lesley Gore. It’s impossible not to sing along to any of her hits.

My bro & I saw Nimoy live on stage in “Equus.” He was good in that too. A very skilled actor who also embodied an iconic TV character well.

Bought & downloaded The Raincoats’ 1983 album “Moving.” I briefly binged on a loaner vinyl of it 32 years ago. The beauty stuck with me.

RIP Leonard Nimoy. Actor achieved a certain equipoise of levity and gravity.

"Crapware." Term makes me squeamish. Suggests it's all streaked with skid marks.

The people that WSJ calls “tech guru” tend to be equities analysts more adept at P/E ratios than visionary tech prognostications. Snooze


Few colleges now require English majors to take Shakespeare classes. I took Bard in high school and a Milton class in college. Enjoyed both


Day's been blessedly free of meetings & phone calls. Hence, blessedly full of me getting stuff done. And not straining & rushing to do all.


Yes, I write blogs in my sleep. Which explains why pillow, down-comforter, and embarrassingly Freudian imagery permeates my writing.
