I hope you've enjoyed staying up late / waking up early to watch the Rugby World Cup LIVE! from Japan. Having attended the Rugby World Sevens last year in San Francisco, I can only imagine the bacchanalia. BeerBrother, who works for a Japanese company, said that all travel to head office

So last Saturday, I went to Paul McCartney. It was fantastic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beQnI983a7M As usual, there was the attraction of the merch table, as well as what to do with the ticket stub. Now, as a guy, I like to "hold onto" things until I "know where to put it". That can result

I realize it's pedantic, but I'm not fond of my workplace switch from four- to five days per week. I got really comfortable having those Fridays off. It's not that the six total hours of commitment is egregious, it's just that it interrupts the relaxation of the day. I miss
