CPMan and Melinda June in action!

CPMan Shuffles off to Buffalo

I am so lucky that I found CPMan. We are not normal, so the fact that the two of us found each other at an early age is remarkable. There just aren't that many people like us.

We have many hobbies and interactions that others find kooky. But that doesn't matter to us. We do them anyway. It's like we're twins or something. We speak a language that other people don't understand. Ask Poor George how annoying it is to get used to.

One of the things we do is tapdance. CPMan can. I can't. But he tries to teach me regularly. If we are standing on pier, a national monument with lots of marble, or some other echoey/thumpy place it is an imperative that we have a session. And thanks to the glory of youtube.com, you can witness our session this past Thanksgiving. I apologise for the poor quality of the video...took it with my tiny digital c amera and it wasn't meant for this sort of publicity.

I hope he has a rebuttal piece on his blog of you at one of your lessons! So great when you have connections like this, tapping or no.

I know for a fact that CP Man is a long drink of water, but this video makes him look, well, LONG WAISTED!

He *is* oddly stumpy, isn't he? Like a Corgie.

I know. Unfortunately, my doofy little camera is not the best resolution for video. I have to get a new one, though, as it got waterlogged at Vic Falls and hasn't really worked since. Plan is to use my bonus for one next month.

CP is officially humiliated.

And yes, I do look like I'm about 4 feet tall.

Oh my, no! This video is great! It's one of my favourite things!

But you do look really squished.

I wish I had video of the Lulu/CP swing dance South of Market with Scotty on the borrowed baritone saxophone. That was truly unforgettable. CP, you have some smooth moves.

Funny, I never thought of CP as being 4'11"... He's almost Villechaize-like in this video...

MJ, when I had to go to the hospital the day before Jake's wedding Tom and George entertained me...Tom tapped and George sang. After a while we noticed we had the entire waiting room to ourselves. But it made me forget the pain for a while. Tom is the best brother I could have hoped for. He is in my heart.

He has definitely missed his calling. Think I can hire him for some fancy footin' in Atlanta?

Yes, CoasterPunchman is a midget. I make him wear hats with flat tops so I can rest my drink on them. He isn't a person obsessed with coasters. He IS a coaster.

Available for bar mitzvahs, anniversaries, and children's parties.

Ways other than Paul Blart and lipstick to combat economic depression

They say that, when the economy tanks and you can't see any way through your pile of bills and are wondering who you'll look wearing one of those barrels with shoulder straps, women buy lipstick and everyone goes to upbeat, escapist movies to take their minds off their troubles. But I'm here to tell you that any lipstick worth having is nigh 'bout $20 or more and you'll just end up regretting it, and Hollywood has not caught up with the times yet. Plus, it's Oscar season, so once you've seen Slumdog Millionaire your choices are sexy Nazis seducing children, attractive suburbanites mourning the death of their dreams, and nuns and priests talking about child abuse. (That said, I hear Gran Torino is a good diversion with a message, and if you don't hate Brad Pitt as much as I do you could probably sit through that Owen Meany movie where he ages like he's from Ork .) And while I'm as big a Kevin James fan as the next person, you can't ask him

Executive MBA 2006-07 Director's Prize

This prize is awarded to the Executive MBA student who is judged by his or her peers to have contributed most to the overall success of the programme. Awarded to: Me I'm really happy about this - I've been the stream rep between the administration and my fellow students, which is the primary reason I've won this...I've managed a lot of situations and helped sort out problems, and while it's been a bit of work it's also been quite fun. I've got all sorts of thoughts and feelings, and in about an hour I'm calling my mom to hear about Thanksgiving with my brother and to tell her the news, but the over-riding reflection I have is this. My dad would be very, very proud. This would have made his day.

Planning Funerals

We've been picking out hymns and suits to wear at the visitation and crematory urns for the ashes and cemetery plots with a good view. My dad passed away at 1 PM on Father's Day. He'd been in excruciating pain, which progressed as the week went on. By Thursday night we had to up the morphine dose so that he slept all the time, but at least he wasn't writhing in pain. Metastasized bone cancer is an ugly, ugly thing. On Friday, I spent the day with him. I sat in the comfy chair in his room and read him my Managing Strategic Innovation prep work and case study. I guess I'm assuming it was the morphine that kept him sleeping, but we'll never really know. On Saturday, my mom and I played scrabble by his bed most of the day. There were some rousing plays, especially since she refused to let me play 'squab' and 'nori' because these were not familiar words to her and we didn't have an official scrabble dictionary handy. I called her a dirty cheater,
