That’s right, apparently at a loss for any petty crimes or misdemeanors, even the Biebs did it.

Yup, that’s right. There’s no reason not to. Yes, it’s popular and trendy to do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, but guess what? It’s also for a good cause. You don’t want to be shown up by Justin Bieber do you? If you don’t want to pour cold water over your head you can still help. I’ll give you two ways:

Hotel Hell
I have to travel occasionally for my job. Part of that travel is staying in hotels. Before you read the rest of this post I want you to know that I love staying in hotels. The room is always clean. You leave and come back and someone has made your bed. For these two things alone I would live in a hotel for the rest of my life if that were possible. But there are a few things that bug me…

Follow Friday!
On Twitter every Friday is Follow Friday. People post a list of people they like to follow and encourage their followers to follow them. It’s a big social media love fest. I thought I’d continue the tradition here. In the comments post your Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or any other social media link you have. Everybody that replies to this should follow everyone else in comments and vice-versa. In the immortal words of Genesis, “if you follow me I will follow you.” You can follow me on Faceb...

Throwback Thursdays! The Interminable Terminal
Originally seen on The Phil Factor 08/10/2013
“Stop calling me Shirley!” I had to fly this week for work, and as always air travel is an adventure. Figuring that Mondays are busy at airports, because of all the business travelers, I got there about two hours before my flight to give me plenty of time to wait in lines and get some lunch before I got on my plane. All went as I had planned until I got to my gate about 15 minutes before the alleged boarding was to occur. My flight was delayed for...

Top Ten Tuesday! Robin Williams’ Ten Best Roles
For a man who was chronically unhappy with himself Robin Williams brought a lot of happiness into our world. Ironically, the mental health issues which likely contributed to his suicide may also be at least partly responsible for some of his brilliant comedy. When we think of Robin Williams we think of the laughs first, but he also played some very serious roles brilliantly. I chose these ten as my favorites partly because I wanted a cross section of his career that showed all the sides of hi...

He’s Taller in Person
That’s me and Golden Boy Cliff (not his real name) partying with the Geico Gecko. It was a little awkward because he was naked. The Gecko, not Cliff. He’s very generous for a gecko. Bought us drinks all night long. The accent you hear on TV? That’s fake. He’s actually from New Jersey.

The Dependables: A Golden Boys Story
You know that movie, The Expendables? A bunch of old guys get together for one more mission, unless it does well at the box office, in which case they’ll do a few more missions. I think that’s me and The Golden Boys, except we’re not expendable. We’ve known each other our entire lives. We’re dependable. And one day we’ll be in Depends, but we’ll still be getting together every summer. Last weekend was our Golden Boy weekend. Usually these weekends involve golf, drinking, matching shirts, and...

Throwback Thursdays! Papa Hotel India Lima is the Best!
(Originally seen on The Phil Factor on 08/03/2013) Yes, I’ve just returned from vacation and I stayed at the Papa Hotel India Lima. An absolutely wonderful place. Scenic view from the balcony. Delicious food. Beautiful weather. I will unequivocally say that Papa Hotel India Lima is the best. If you ever get a chance I recommend you visit.
Is that a picture from the Papa Hotel India Lima? Absolutely not. Can you guess why? There are already two kinds of people who know the answer. Anyone who ha...
