Macy’s customer service makes me want to put my head through a wall
One of the things on my agenda this past weekend in Chicago was to purchase some luggage. I already had some bad luck trying to find just the right thing (see Tumblr), and therefore, realized I needed to be rather specific about what I wanted. So when the sales associate at the Macy’s on…

Hiroshima, August 6th, 1945
Living in Japan for some 20 years, August 6th is always a special day: in 1945, just after 8 AM in the morning, the first atomic bomb was dropped over the city of Hiroshima. When I was a young boy, about 7 or 8, I went with my father, a high school history teacher, to a museum in my home town.…

blueberry basil /mm. think I saw & tried 'basil' but hvnt seen blueberry basil gelato/ - The design, while perhaps not for everyone, is class, sort of a cross between a boutique, an Italian espresso bar, and a living room.

Kyle Farnsworth is no longer fit to be a professional baseball player.
When Jim Leyland came out to remove Bobby Seay after he retired Ken Griffey, Jr., I sent my buddy the following text message: “Yeah - let’s remove Seay from the game after he’s retired all three batters he’s faced. This won’t end well.” Sure enough, Kyle Lynn Farnsworth came in and…
