Hello from vacation. There’s too much to fit in – so I’m just going to hit the high points and backfill later. Woke up this morning in Ashland, OR. It’s a funky – funky little hippie commune of a town. I woke up there because…

I spent last Sunday in Detroit. Now when I say “in Detroit,” I don’t mean “chillin’ with my rich friends in Ann Arbor,” nor do I even mean “hey, I’m from Bloomfield Hills!” I mean my grandfather’s house in Highland Park. Next to Palmer Park.…

Here’s the state of the world as I see it: * The oil gusher in the gulf is still gushing. We were lied to from the beginning about the scale of the disaster – and we are still being fed pablum about the real extent.…

I’m now safely past the 10 year anniversary of the last time I took the stage with a college a cappella group. In honor of that, I figure it’s time to share some of the thoughts that were incubating way back when and have now…

I want to write something, but I’m just blank. Too much business travel does this to me. I have hours free on the train today – which I always claim I’ll use to some productive purpose. I could have caught up on emails, run some…
