Last night I was watching Discovery Channel’s amazing “Planet Earth” series. Mrod is also obsessed with it. They were surveying some of the most beautiful rivers and waterfalls in the world. They focused a few minutes on Iguazo Falls on the border of Brazil and Argentina.
As I watched the wide-angle shot of the falls I [...]

The Thin Red Line

This is a clip from my favorite movie. I guess it’s in many ways, and in different ways, my theme song for life.
It has some amazing actors, amazing cinematography, and a great story.
It’s sort of an existential and life searching version of Saving Private Ryan (which was also good but not [...]

What do you do on the subway when a homeless person is on there who really just smells amazingly bad?
This was the conundrum my office mate and I discussed after everybody else had gone home today.
Her position was that when this happens to her she just sits on the car and doesn’t move and doesn’t [...]

Last night on my way home I was sitting on the subway with a few people in the middle of the car. To my right, about halfway down were two homeless men sleeping like they hadn’t slept in years. One had this metal cart next to him that he was keeping in place with his [...]

It’s crazy.

Should You Hold the Elevator Door?
Posted in Deep Thoughts, Defeat or Strategic Retreat?, Oh But Why?, Philosophical Meanderings, Random Thoughts, Societal Commentary on April 15, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I think that it’s a telling commentary on your character. It’s an impossible catch 22. The more willing your are to hold the door, the more likely you will get late in getting to where you are going. However, when we rush in and quickly push the close door button, even as you see somebody [...]
