I don’t think about it much, but I feel fortunate to have the hair I do. It’s been said that baldness is a genetic trait that is carried by the mother. I’m no biologist but I’ve always understood that to mean that if your mother’s father was a cue ball, most likely you would be […]
This sketch is loosely based on my memories of Biology and Chemistry. I actually didn’t mind dissecting dead critters (‘Mickey’ Rat included) but really hated that Formaldehyde smell. Chemistry was a completely different story. I had very little passion for balancing molecular equations and memorizing how many available electrons existed in the outer orbit of […]
I suppose if a Mad Scientist were to get involved with your sixth grade science project it would most likely go wrong. I know it’s cliche, but I couldn’t resist – it was the first thought that came to mind. What exactly is so funny? Nothing. He’s MAD! Mad, I tell you!
After two weeks of waiting, I finally received the Moleskine I sent for to participate in the “Sketchbook Project: 2011 Tour”. Participants choose from the list of possible themes (Help!; Jackets, blankets, and sheets; It’s raining dogs and cats; Revenge; Trading forever; Dirigibles and submersibles; Capture the flag; … you’d be home by now; Make […]
I remember when the ‘Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon’ was the television event of the weekend. For years Americans have tuned in to watch an all-star cast of entertainers perform for the sake of raising money for Jerry’s kids and the Muscular Dystrophy Association. I don’t remember ever camping out in front of the television […]
According to some economic analysts we’ll likely see another recession. I’m more of a ‘supply-sider’ myself so I wasn’t too thrilled when the $814 billion Stimulus Package was passed last year. It gave government the right to intentionally add to our deficit in order to create jobs. Now the unemployment rate is nearing 10% and, […]
Fads come and go with every generation. When I was a kid bracelets were a hit mostly with the girls. Intricately woven friendship bracelets and thick colorful rubber bands were common. The latest and greatest with this generation, both girls and boys, are the shape bracelets. Just about any object that has an identifiable profile […]
If Joe claims to be a good carpenter, then wouldn’t you assume that he would be proficient with more than just a box-end wrench? Come on, Joe. Who are you fooling? We all know that a carpenter is handy with a number of tools, not just the wrench. Saws. Hammers. Drills. I mean, really. I […]
Everyone has an opinion and some get paid to share it with others. Sometimes an honest appraisal is appreciated and other times, not so much. In many ways the critique’s severity needs to be tempered with the recipient’s own skin thickness. That being said, I think there’s great value in constructive criticism provided that the […]
I realize banking is a business and like most businesses they’d like to grow. Advertising plays a huge role in that and I’m quite sure all my bank’s efforts to use me for referrals has failed miserably. It’s not that I don’t like my bank but putting a business card size flyer into the drive-thru […]
