What’s Happening on MainStreet?

You may recall back in September I started a new job with a company called Corsis (which has since changed its name to Promotions.com). My first major project for Promotions launched today, a site called MainStreet.com.
MainStreet is part of TheStreet.com network (and TheStreet.com happens to own Promotions.com so not only was [...]

It’s Saturday and Fall Is Here

Finally! Fall seems to have arrived. After a muggy week, remember last Saturday I reported the temperature was 85 degrees, the weather finally broke Thursday night. This morning when I got up at 3 to go play hockey it was 45 degrees and currently it’s 61! According to the 10 day forecast, there’s only one [...]

Summer-like Saturday

It’s 85 degrees! It’s October! Where is fall? It was here for a little bit and it seems to have been taken over by a extended Indian Summer. As you can imagine I’m not happy with this turn of the weather. It looks like by mid-next week we’ll end up with highs in the mid-60s. [...]

Gorgeous Saturday

I’m pretty sure I’ve written before of my love for Fall. Today is one of those wonderful days. It was rainy this morning, but right around noon it became partly cloudy, the fog broke and the temperature is a great 67 degrees. Absolutely fantastic!
Patriot Day?: Tuesday was the sixth anniversary of 9/11. That afternoon, I [...]

Changing the Job…

I’ve had big news for about 10 days now, but couldn’t share it with the blog audience. I suppose that’s one of the hazards of the blog. You’ve got news you’d tell a lot of people you know, but sometimes you can’t post it out in the big public space because there is still some [...]

When Worlds Colliode…

Ok, freaky story from work today…
I was talking to the editor of Princeton Review’s books and he mentioned that he had a new woman working in his department who had graduated from Alabama, and had also worked for some magazine for truckers. He thought for a moment, looking for the name, and so I offered, [...]
