The rambling life ain’t restful, to paraphrase Satchel Paige. The last five weeks have been almost nonstop work for me, including nearly 10,000 miles of air travel. I always think that 30,000 feet above the planet will be a great place for introspection, but instead, I shift in my seat, get...

The good thing to say about this book is that I bought it about a week ago and read the whole thing in about three days. So it (mostly) moves swiftly, or I read well and swiftly, or both.

Forgive me if I'm a bit grumpier than usual today - I just finished a two-hour long commute to work because, apparently, if it rains, it means you should slow all the way down to 4 m.p.h. - even on straight, 5-lane highways. Sure, a few so-called "overturned tractor-trailers" didn't help...

There are certain things I regret I never did. Looking through some piano sheet music the other day, I realized how much I regretted never taking up an instrument when I was young (this, by the way, is not a regret that can be quelled by learning how to play Guitar Hero - trust me). Piano would...

During the campaign, we were ostracized for claiming that Barack Obama was a radical. Sure, he tried to tell us he was a middle-of-the-road, bipartisan player, but his actions and his past contradicted every one of his words. This pattern continues to this day.
