Ten Things I Think I Think (and Personal Finace Links)
Steven Wright Performance and a Financial Joke – I’ve been huge fan of comedian Steven Wright since I saw his first HBO special when I was about 10. I just loved the dry humor. I’ve probably see that special a couple of dozen times (it’s second place to Serenity on my all-time watched list. Last [...]

Eight Things I Think I Think (and Personal Finance Links)
Google on the Schedule Today – I think that whenever I get the chance to take advantage of Google’s AdSense team inviting me to review my website 1-on-1, I have to take it. I did it last year and it was excellent. My Wife’s Take on Invitations – I think that while on the topic [...]

Personal Finance Links (Boston Sports Edition)
As you may have noticed lately, the posting here has slowed quite a bit over the last month. I have been spending a little more time enjoying the summer and following the NBA Finals. I don’t typically watch basketball, but when the Celtics are in the playoffs, I get interested. One of the things that [...]

Busy Memorial Day Weekend (and Personal Finance Links)
I had a pretty busy, but pretty great Memorial Day weekend… and it left me with a lot of material to write about. I only hope to find the time this week to do it all justice. Without going into very specific details, I thought I’d go through the weekend and give an overview. I [...]

Productivity Draining of Sports (and Personal Finance Links)
After the Super Bowl in February, I’ve got a two month window to be productive before baseball starts. (It’s one of the benefits of not acknowledging college basketball as a sport). For the three of you who didn’t close their browser, this time of the year is the opposite… The past couple of weeks have [...]

Personal Finance Link (Joe West is a Disgrace Edition)
I’m fully ensconce in baseball season having caught almost all of the first 6 Red Sox games. That streak should end tomorrow as the game is scheduled to start around the time I grab lunch at work. Probably some of the biggest news to come from the first six games is that Umpire Joe West [...]

Nearly $1000 Spent in Baseball Tickets… I need Denny’s Free Breakfast
I really wanted to get two things out today – hence the unusually forced title. Unless you’ve been asleep over the last 3 days, you know that Denny’s is giving out free breakfast today. Like in most cases, you get what you pay for. Last year Denny’s ran a similar promotion. I went by to [...]

Personal Finance Links (Red Sox, iPods, or MLB Umpires)
This was a pretty bad week for on several fronts. My treasured Red Sox played horribly in just about all areas of the game, earning themselves some extra vacation time (and I thought I was Lazy). The Major League Baseball umpires missed numerous calls including three tags in the first Red Sox game (the Red [...]

Personal Finance Links (Bandwagon Red Sox Fans are Free Now Edition)
Since 2004, I’ve seen fans of Red Sox Nation quintuple in size. Some of the Red Sox fans who suffered through 1967 (and before), 1975, and 1986 – even 2003, have taken some offense to this. As someone who has just suffered from 1986 on (I was ten), I have to say that I love [...]

Sick and Spendy – and Personal Finance Links
I’ve had a bad cold the last few days. Then again, I can’t remember when I’ve had a good cold. Either way, it’s sucked out my desire to do much of anything. Ever be really bored, but at the same time not feeling like doing something? That’s me over the last few days. I have [...]
