Happy Thanks!

Thank you for your continued tenderness, affection, insight, generosity, trust and discretion. I've recently started referring to the experience as "Educating Paloma." lol You've taught me so much and I'm a better person because of it. Cheers!

Inspiration for the gym

Here's a little video I ran across to inspire those of you that are trying to get back into shape. I think it's fantastic. :)

I can't say I'm too surprised

but I do wonder about all that sex at sea .... and I love that some folks even describe the positions. lol Let's celebrate!

RIP Hippie

Matthew Shuter of Somerset, England has found an untapped niche. He bought a 1989 Daimler hearse and vinyl-wrapped it "to look something like the scenery from the Beatles' film Yellow Submarine." He figured, right about now, hippies would begin needing 'one final ride' and why not have them go out in a style to which they've become accustomed?

My fav twitter citizen is 29 year old Justin who lives with his 73 year old father. Justin only tweets things his dad says and his dad is frank and dry. Better yet - Justin's just closed a book deal from his tweeting. He started tweeting Aug 3 2009. Wow - that's fast.

Here's a sampling.

"Your brother brought his baby over this morning. He told me it could stand. It couldn't stand for shit. Just sat there. Big let down."

"I just did an hour on the gym machine. I'm sweaty and I have to shit. Where's my fannypack, this workout is over."

It's a man's game. Really.

Once again, I find myself hesitating and yet ultimately capitulating to write about something that wouldn't be "polite dinner conversation." It's regarding drunk driving - sort of.

To varying degrees we each hate and fear drunk drivers. Given. But as a responsible pub proprietor, how do you educate a patron that maybe he's had too many cocktails to drive? You let them play while they pee. (I warned you!)

Bathrooms in several Frankfurt bars have been installed "pressure sensitive inlays set within urinals, enabling users to play while they pee." A screen comes on in front of the urinal with a driving game. To turn the car right, you pee right; to go left, you pee left. Did y'all get a poor score? Then you're probably too drunk to drive. Brilliant and disgusting at the same time. More info here

The Gift Economy

After a stiff scotch on a rainy night in a remote cottage, it can be amusing to imagine "leaving it all behind" (and by "it all" I mean material possessions and money - certainly not family and friends :) and venturing off into the wilds of the countryside. Daniel Suelo did just that in 2000 and currently lives in a cave, completely outside of the economy. I'm intrigued. He's been blogging about his experiences here, with the help of free internet access at public libraries. That fact suggests he's not journeyed too far off the grid but his story inspires a sort of primal wanderlust in me I thought had vanished. You can read more about his remarkable story in Details.
