More bad dreams

Last night I dreamed that I was taking pregnancy tests over and over again, but something always went wrong. In one dream I got to the bathroom and realized we were all out. In another I wasted an open test stick because I couldn’t pee (this has happened to me in real life). In another [...]

You Must Buy an HDTV

It’s time for the Super Bowl, which means it’s time for newspapers to run articles about which HDTV you should buy. I won’t bother with a hyperlink to the article in this morning’s Star. I can summarize - Digital TV = HDTV.
I know that these articles are supposed to inform readers about creating the best [...]

Peggy Alert

I’ve been dealing with some Mom issues this past week. I can’t really go into details, but I felt like I should reveal that they involve her former employer, Marsh Supermarkets. She was accused of doing something she didn’t do, and the whole thing got blown out of proportion. Fearing that she might go to [...]

On a recent trip to the bathroom…

I discovered tooth holes in one of my favorite pair of underwear– a lucky pair that I like to wear to inseminations (on second thought, perhaps not so lucky) and when I make presentations. Damn you, Buffy! Is this how you repay MamaMel’s unwavering love and affection?
I can’t believe I didn’t notice this when I [...]

Marsh Lands at Crystal Flash

I’m really disappointed to hear that David Marsh, former president of Marsh Supermarkets, is now the president of Crystal Flash. I worked for Crystal Flash for three years and always thought very highly of the Fehsenfeld family and John Madden, their former president. John did a lot of good things for CF. If you watch [...]

God Bless the Colts

I’ve always believed that sporting events are surrogates for making social bonds. I don’t need to get to know you. I only need to know for which team or driver you’re rooting. You’re a Jeff Gordan fan? Clearly you aren’t my kind of people.
As I watched all the screaming revelers after the Colts game Sunday [...]

Congratulations Consuming Indy

Kudos to Michelle over at Consuming Indy for getting a nod from Intake magazine as one of Indy’s best blogs. Michelle’s a transplant to Indy, and her coverage of things to do in Indy is top notch. We hope you stick around!

Finding Meaning

If you only ever read the Bible, what’s your understanding of the world and your place in it?
If you only ever watch Jerry Springer, what are your beliefs about fidelity and commitment?
If you only ever watch Oprah, what are your standards for volunteerism and charity?
If you only ever attend business school, how do you manage [...]

Praise The Home Depot!

I don’t know how many of you read my tech blog, but I posted over there about the use of evangelism in selling products and recruiting employees. Here’s an excerpt:
When people stop thinking critically and instead give themselves over to whichever company ignites their passions, then we’re opening ourselves up to manipulation. If it’s happening [...]

Sacrificing Public Health

From a CNN article about the increase of nicotine in cigarettes:
“Cigarettes are finely tuned drug delivery devices designed to perpetuate a tobacco pandemic,”
said Howard Koh, the school’s associate dean for public health practice and former Massachusetts commissioner of public health.
From a CounterPunch article about Lilly marketing Zyprexa for off-label use:
For as pediatrician, Dr Lawrence Diller, [...]
