Dear Google
Number of Comments » 0Thank you for offering to translate websites for me. But you might want to know that your Toolbar has gone insane. It keeps offering to translate pages for me that are already in English… not in the French or Swedish or Spanish or German the Toolbar thinks they are.
I hope Toolbar feels better soon!
Another Reason I Don’t Fly
Number of Comments » 0I read recently that the federal government has told the airline industry that they can’t keep people on planes anymore if the flight has been delayed more than three hours. In the world in which I live, I would need massive amounts of Valium to survive even one hour out on the tarmac waiting for [...]

Here Is What Christmastime Means To Me
Number of Comments » 0I should just start singing now, right? “Silver bells, silvers bells! It’s Christmastime in the city.”
I like Christmas songs… almost all of them. I don’t necessarily like all the people out there who try to sing Christmas songs, though. (I’m talking to you, Mariah Carey. Some of us practice long and hard to hit and [...]
Dear Realtors
Number of Comments » 0You guys (and gals) aren’t very good at picking up on subtle hints, are you? The fact that I’m not calling you back should give you some sort of clue. I’d like to think it would give you the idea that I might not be interested in talking to you. But I guess not.
Ok, so [...]

A plain cheese pizza is good enough for me, but if you want to throw some green peppers or onions or black olives or pineapple (or all of them) on there, I’m [...]
Dear Firefox
Number of Comments » 2Thank you for updating yourself. Thank you, also, for totally screwing up how stuff on new tabs is displayed. And by “stuff,” I mean the “absolutely nothing” that I expect. Yes, yes. I read your blog. And read how you think that while everyone might want to see something different in the new tab they [...]
Give Me a Call!
Number of Comments » 2And by “give me a call” I mean “really… don’t bother.”
I hate talking on the phone. There are maybe two exceptions to this hard and fast rule, but as the saying goes, the exceptions prove the rule. I tell everyone the best way to contact me is via email. A lot of people ignore my [...]
Dear Verizon
Number of Comments » 5I passed by one of your billboard advertisements the other night. I suggest you fire your ad agency for this one.
“A bare-knuckled bucket of does”? Seriously? That’s the dumbest billboard being displayed in the Capital District right now. First of all, I don’t think you’ll be able to find a bucket big enough to hold [...]
What Gives You the Right?
Number of Comments » 2What gives you the right to tell me who I can and can’t marry? What gives you the right to tell anyone who they can and can’t marry?
Fifty years ago, people would have been up in arms (or worse) if I had voiced the notion that I wanted to marry an African American man. Seventy-five [...]
