“There’s no word worth your life.” An excerpt from Dalton Trumbo…

There’s no word worth your life. I would rather work in a coal mine deep under the earth and never see sunlight and eat crusts and water and work twenty hours a day. I would rather do that than be dead. I would trade democracy for life. I would trade independence and honor and freedom…

For my Adopted City, or: “Boston you’re my home…”

I’ve walked Boylston street too many times to recall. Between the ages of 17 through 21, I lived, loved, studied, discovered, and utterly evolved in a city that felt like some vibrant Hellenic slice of America.

The first Innsmouth Rowing Club team picture, or: “All the fools who lead their foolish lives may find it quite explosive…”

We’re running Tough Mudder Miami this upcoming Saturday, March 2nd… we being myself and 5 other members of our intrepid IT department. This is going to be a wondrous disaster. I can’t wait.

Hokémon (gotta catch ’em all), or “The Happiest Pants in the Universe!”

That title has nothing to do with anything. But I’ve always wanted to stage a 1930s-styled Busby-Berkley musical entitled “The Happiest Pants in the Universe”. Has a certain ring to it, no? … NO? OK then. Shit. Well this WAS going to be a basic life update of sorts, and it is, but it was supposed to…
