<h2>Celebrating New Year's Eve 2006</h2> I find myself among the throngs of the tragically stupid. Here we have an idiot trying to hail a cab by running headlong into oncoming traffic as his cohorts wait dumbfounded on the side of the road. Then there's the girl with the Fran Drescher voi...
<h2>Off the 'meaten' path</h2> It may seem odd to describe a place as being 'off the beaten path' in the overcrowded Meatpacking District of NYC. But just a wee bit west of the upscale boutiques, fancy restaurants and dress-code clubs and right across from one of the last actual meatpacki...
<h2>But first a disclaimer to my freelance clients...</h2> Please don't let the title of this article worry any of you who depend on me for various pretty designs and time sensitive production. When I refer to drinking on the job, I mean specifically those times when I'm on assignment as ...
<h2>It's a recipe for a fun night of people watching</h2> My buddy Mitch and his brother Eric were born one year apart almost to the day. To celebrate, a bunch of us met up at Maxwell's for some drinks. This was a nice, chill atmosphere. As new people came in, conversations orbited around...
<h2>A new way to attract business</h2> Have you guys seen these new ads for Match.com running on MySpace? It seems they've decided to switch their image from being a respectable online dating service to that of a seedy cam site. If you haven't seen the ads, basically they are of these hot...
<h2>And the wisdom of a child</h2> I was walking home from the store the other day and I could hear the familiar clip-clop of horseshoes on asphalt. I looked up and there were two Hoboken cops on horseback strolling down the quiet, tree-lined Eleventh Street....
<h2>Gibson had Tequila, Haggard had Crystal Meth...</h2> I had gotten a text message from my friend Steve telling me about our friend Maria's birthday. They were going to Swift. It's a large, crowded bar with a diverse and loud selection of music....

What better way to bring old friends together?...
<h2> A last minute jaunt outta NYC and into sunshine</h2> A fun, impromptu trip to the sun, sand and crazy nightlife of Miami. It was a trip for no reason at all. OK, that’s not completely true. I went because my friend Helen asked me to go......
<h2>The TSA's odd list of Permitted & Prohibited Items</h2> Tomorrow morning I fly out of JFK Airport in NYC for a weekend in Miami Beach. It's the first time I'm flying since the new list of restricted items has been implemented by the TSA. I have to say, the list makes little sense ...
My one tradition on September 11 is to walk over to the Hudson River and quietly pay my respects to those lost....
<h2> One day in and still getting used to it</h2> So, there it was, staring at me from my MySpace.com profile; 40. A milestone age or so they say. Am I supposed to feel different? I still feel like the same mixed-up guy I was at 20. Oh sure, now it may take me a little longer to recover f...
<h2>Is this supposed to make you want to drink scotch?</h2> I like Chivas Regal. It is a fine Scotch-Whiskey indeed. However, had I not already known this, then what I read today would not have convinced me to try it. ...
