Velvet Warmth of the Sun’s Rays

6pmr

Snapshot of our kitchen wall, as the sun began its descent from behind Torment Hill in Croton-on-Hudson, New York.

It was nice to work from home today with the velvet warmth of the sun’s rays enveloping the room and our chilly bodies.

Definitely a perfect day to place that order for those pajama jeans…even if you’ll be surrounded by a chorus of laughter instead of sweet tweets from winter birds.

See you again, Mr. Sun, on Friday!

Don’t get a spoke stuck in your yoohoo

As Mr. Flare Hair says: “There’s got to be a better way to tell people about this stuff!”

And the kind people at Vacation Rental.org would be smart to listen, as the Flare Hair family probably would have chosen a luxurious vacation rental apartment had the hapless sidekick Unitard not scared them away with his “exuberance”. It’s hard to concentrate on savings when you have so much underwear flying about.

Perhaps a humorous but informative vacation rental commercial would be more strategic than ambushing a family of 4 at a rival’s courtesy counter.

I’d turn down the complimentary airport “shuttle” though. You don’t want the bell to end up in a place you don’t want it to be.

Slobs Rejoice: Introducing the Pajama Jeans!

We’ve all faced the dilemma: how to be a slob in sweats but come off as casual tech-geek cool in jeans

Now, salvation to lazy hipsters everywhere in the form of Pajama Jeans!

Not since some lazy genius discovered that baby powder could replace actually washing your hair, has there been such a break thru for everyday slobs who want to escape the social stigmatism of putting 0 effort into their appearance.

Olympics: What’s left once the crowds die away?

It’s a billion dollar hype machine, but what are host nations left to live with once the games pack up and leave town?

In Beijing China, the answer is “a ghost town”.

Like Athens before it, the hosts of the 2008 Summer Olympics hoped to inherit more than just memories once the cheers died down.

Like Athens before it, Beijing inherited crippling debt and empty abandoned stadiums.

Leaving future hosts to ponder: What price Olympic Glory?
