My buddy Meeko Fabulous asked a great question in a comment earlier this week, and I thought a post about my answer would be a great Public Service Announcement right now, at the beginning of the holiday season. His question? Would a Jewish person get offended if they were given a Christmas card? I unintentionally committed that faux pas last year and got an earful . . . Your thoughts? I did a post that touched on this last year, but I’m too lazy to link it. First of all, I have to put the disclaimer out there that my answer is just that: Mine. My opinion may not be…

Does An Apology Make It Okay?
Each and every year, viewers tune in to the MTV Video Music Awards because there are always a few moments that the whole world is talking about the next day. Last night’s show was no different in that it had stand-out moments, but one of them was despicable, uncomfortable, and unbelievable. Taylor Swift, the 19-year-old country music dynamo (who has managed to cross over into pop as well, something pretty rare for a true country artist), won her first “Moon Man”, for Best Female Video of the year.

You Had Questions, I’ve Got Answers! (part one)
While I’m busily getting just over 200- 1 inch by 2 3/4 inch strips of colorful paper filled out with your names on them for my little drawing on Wednesday, I want to go ahead and respond to some of your comments from all of my NYC posts since I didn’t have the time to do that day by day. There were so many that I’m splitting this into two posts.

From “This Is Not Just Any Old Blog Contest”:…

What To Do, What To Do…
We’re leaving for our vacation in a couple of days, and I have yet to decide if I’m going to write a couple of posts in advance or if I should just set up the thing where I can e-mail a short post from my phone. Hard to decide, and time is ticking away! One thing I DO know: I will be occasionally tweeting while we’re away. Are you on Twitter? If you are, follow me here. I’ll figure out the posting thing later today! Decisions, decisions…
