Congrats to Jimmy Page and his Spanish teammates http://idisk.me.com/ddocker... and http://idisk.me.com/ddocker...

The one night I have to work midnights this year I'm boxed in by the dream cruise. If it's not construction...

Wow, additional 40% off the t-shirts at the Gap in Briarwood and the sizes go all the way up to Medium!! Is it the Lilliputian Days Sale already?

I'm in a battle of wits to avoid being the one to use the last piece of paper towel and take responsibility for changing the roll. I could switch to dish towels more like she does but she'll be expecting that. I have a t-shirt strategy.

N Korea was wasted by Portugal in the World Cup today. Now, the poor government has to make sure nobody sees it and if anyone does see or hear about it those people need to be silenced. Sure, running a communist dictatorship might sound like fun, but it's really a lot of work.

Right, just blew out to Ann Arbor for a 2oz jar of espresso powder. For us, this recipe is now the Neiman Marcus Carbon Footprint Cookies. In addition to my annual apologetic postcard to Santa I'm sending a second to Al Gore this year.

CROWD SOURCE ALERT: Has anyone scored Espresso Powder locally for baking/dessert type stuff? The #$%#$% Neiman Marcus cookie recipe in my case.

For never having had formal training in the business tools of Hypocrisy, Connivance or Vengeance, I think I do alright.

I know as much about Lady Gaga as a typical twelve year old knows about Van Halen. Is that bad?

Hmm, I just stumped a girl working at a Starbuck's in an Ohio "Service Plaza" by asking for a double tall cap. When she asked me what was in it I realized I was remiss not to say c a p p u c c i n o. Good thing the cash register was functioning or we'd still be transacting. Fancy city boy. Shame on me.

iTunes 9.2: 'Faster back-ups while syncing an iPhone or iPod touch with iPhone OS 4' Praise Steve!! Half my day is spent "Backing up..."

C'mon, guys. It's not nature's little punching bag! http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/comment...

Meijer was out of Guinness so I tried a "Hopped Up" ale. Tastes more like a fern to me. Damn you, Meijer!

Google Chrome is already fun. I love being an earlyish adopter.

One thing I won't miss about the desert is insatiable thirst. I was drying out a pound of fat cells per day. The rest of them unionized.

What a nice day. The air here is as refreshing as the pool was in AZ. So, if you're out in the desert and have never been to Michigan, go jump in the pool.

In and around the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport I was impressed with how considerate all the commercial and civilian drivers were of the speed limits and one another. When I pulled out onto Merriman at Metro I was acutely reminded of how many people drive with wanton disregard for human life if not an outright blood lust or death wish. It's good to...

Sweet Phoenix, parting is such sweet sorrow. Gorgeous town you have here. I'm even a little less pissed about the surprise visitor tax. Now, I'm more pissed at the Casino Arizona, but that's another story. Can't wait to land in the D late tonight wearing these mocs & shorts. 48 is warm enough, right?

Oh, it's dry. How does one shotgun a bottle of water? Probably need a little CO2 canister, eh? Then hope the bottle doesn't explode, I guess.

A guy from Univision just interviewed me in Phx about illegal immigration. I told him I'm from Detroit where we've had a massive influx of illegal Canadians running around being polite.

Funny how you don't find out about these things until it's too late. Arizona or Phoenix or whichever county it's in has a 40% Don't Come Back Tax on rental cars & hotel rooms. I can't find any official information about it. They seem to have whitewashed the fact nicely. The first poor bastard who had to tell us said it's for the stadiums and other...

Relative humidity in Phoenix is 8%. How cute. I think when the Michiganders got off the plane it briefly went to 9. We're like human water balloons out here.

Touchdown Phoenix! Hello, Arizona. I couldn't help notice your beautiful topography from the air.

Flying to AZ in a few. Can't wait to be on top of this crappy weather.

Business travel is up! http://english.capital.gr/news... Hotel bookings, rental cars, & hookers all win. Trickle-down economics works! Reagan lives!!

Haven't been on my Squarespace site in so long I didn't know there was a working Twitter widget. How nice.
