100 Days of Ties: Day 84, Vampire Weekend, insomnia, Gant Rugger, and Smash Putt.
Few bands can write inane lyrics and still gain my respect, but Vampire Weekend is able to do it so nicely. I mean, look at the lyrics to “Cousins” from Contra: You found a sweater on the ocean floor. They’re … Continue reading
100 Days of Ties: Day 83 and the stripes of Saint James and Billy Reid

100 Days of Ties: Day 82, the dead leaves, the dirty ground, and riding the bus with my sister.
I switched it up a bit this morning and did a shot with a new camera app I got on my phone. I liked the way it turned out, so I used it in lieu of the standard pose. And, … Continue reading
100 Days of Ties: Day 81 and time to break out the J. Crew Down Jacket.

100 Days of Ties: Day 80 and the best is yet to come.

100 Days of Ties: Day 79 and the final warmth before the cool down in Denver.
I love days like today. The air is warm and slightly heavy, the way it always is before a huge front comes our way drenching us in either snow or rain. Everything is calm, everything is quiet, and soon enough, … Continue reading
100 Days of Ties: Day 78 and a forecast of cold warming the soul.
I heard about some impending cold coming this-a-way towards the end of the week, but I didn’t want to say too much about it so as not to jinx anything. I know the east is getting hit hard, but we’re … Continue reading
100 Days of Ties: Day 77 and the holiday blues dressed in red.
There’s a scene from an old Newsradio episode where, right before the staff of WNYX leaves for Christmas break, Joe, the office handyman played aptly by a young Joe Rogan, rips down all the holiday decorations stating, “Nothing’s more depressing … Continue reading
100 Days of Ties: Happy Holidays from the Real World Denver House
Not much activity going on today. Skeleton crew here at the office. Joe (pictured below) and I grinding away between watching old Axl Rose tantrums on YouTube and trying to fix my computer. So, I will keep this simple: I … Continue reading
100 Days of Ties: Day 75 and (maybe) discovering a higher power via pictorial coincidences.
I woke up today a bit flustered and still disheartened by recent events, but you know what? You have to learn to rise above, don’t you? Yes. Yes you do. I took a long, hot shower, brushed off the past … Continue reading
100 Days of Ties: Day 74. Winter Solstice and the irony of it all.
I said recently that I need about 10 more hours in each day as projects are piling up, and I am sleeping less to get each one of them accomplished. I brought them on myself as I never know when … Continue reading
100 Days of Ties: Day 73. As Graham Withers and I wait for the bus…
And as I sit waiting for the bus this morning, it struck me, “I’m 29. Time to get a good deal of this business in order. Still a young man am I, but it’s time to pin down sopme real … Continue reading
100 Days of Ties: Only women say, "Personal Day."
Alright, so “personal day” is not something only the female-contingent says, it is something an old boss gave me a jokingly hard time for once. “Boss, I need a personal day this Friday.” Dude, ladies say that. Just man up … Continue reading
