I think I’ve mentioned that I turned off my cable at the beginning of the year. At the time it was a matter of expense. Cable was expendable. Since then I’ve found that life is better without cable. Much better. I think I’ve also mentioned that I’m working with a business coach, he’s a...

Everything’s a little clearer in the light of day
Straightnin’ the curves, Flatnin the hills
Oh my goodness! Sometimes something happens in the comment section at PBE that I can’t hardly contain myself. I’m going to quote this one. It appears here. I have read this blog on and off for the past 3 years. I used to work for a Title Co and got laid off in 2007. ...

I don’t know if I can yell any louder
Today is a good day. Y’all get to watch me weave this post together. A little event occurred this week. It was not lost on the Wine Dog. The Burgermeister bought Chalk Hill Winery. Supposedly he plans to live in the palacial main house. I suppose the good news is to those in Whitefish,...

Some people came and listened, some of them came and played
It has been a long week. I’m not sure why I took a divorce listing. I guess I thought they could act right for the period of the listing. Not so much. Coupled with two and a half days out of town and the house being torn up so that the carpets could be...

I guess my race is run
Miss me? Yeah, I know. I suck. Actually, you have no idea how much I suck. After the BMW blew up in Pittsburg and I got railroaded by the Authorities a few other choice events occurred, I got myself into a First Class nosedive. I was in a flat spin heading out...

With sword in hand I face demands, delivered with the best intentions

Dance in flames for the final quest
This week I watched the State of the Union address. I haven’t seen one in several years because, well because Bush was a moron and I couldn’t listen to the guy. I hope Obama can work his way through this economic shit sandwich that Bush & Co handed the country. We all know one...

I’ve stared straight into the sun
File this under “That’s going to leave a mark” in the “Reasons why the Wine Dog is a Wise Dog” file. The PR Newswire blares “Fidelity National Financial, Inc. Issues Statement Refuting Significant Inaccuracies and the Omission of Important Facts in New York Time Article“.  What New York Times article you say? Click here...

We’re living in our eloquence, another old lang syne
It’s a blue moon and the Wine Dog will be holed up in the bunker with the Hellhoundz tonight. For the most part I think New Year’s eve is amateur night. I’d say “take a cab” but I remember one night years ago in the City where in fact we did take a cab. ...

But we all live with the scars we choose
We’re all singing “Happy Days are here again” right? Everyone has had their salaries restored to pre-mortgage meltdown rates, right? Your bonuses and commissions have all been restored by Mr. Foley right? Everybody is holding hands and singing “We are the World” at the Evil Empire, right? Oh let’s just quote the earnings call....
