Guys, I have absolutely not joined a modern dance troupe.

That post on Monday about joining the “Apollo Fridays” dance company was absolutely an April Fool’s Day joke.  If the anagram didn’t clue you in, then the villain names from FOX’s “24” probably should have (even if it’s fun to imagine Nina Meyers, Victor Drazen and Stephen Saunders conspiring to produce a national modern dance tour).

I really hope no offense was take by any of the people who believed me?  The wife of one of my college buddies wanted to support me by attending a show in Washington.  And another college friend actually is a modern dancer who really wanted to encourage me.  You guys are all so cool, your support for my faux accomplishment actually was touching!

“The last whisper of your transaction, success is the vow we avow.”

These fake-invoice e-mail scams are really getting poetic.

Not gonna fall for the scam itself, but I just might fall for you, oh Internet trickster.



I don’t understand the new “Walking Dead” preview.

A sure thing.

I noticed this last night.  Ridley Scott is a Cinema God, and I should be cast out for nitpicking his genre-defining masterpiece.  (If you need to ask which movie I am talking about, I’m not sure we can be friends.)

But the word nerd in me needs to point out that the computer here probably meant “ensure” instead of “insure.”

You’ve heard of Elf on a Shelf. Now get ready for …

… Falconry on a Balcony.

Everyone’s cracking Ides of March jokes. It makes me want to take a stab at it.

And why not?  I’m a sharp guy.

Feeling thankful for what I have.

Food, a nice place to live in a city that I love, a wonderful girl and loads of good friends. A good portion of the world is not so lucky.

Perspective is a good thing.

Eschewing the Oxford comma — that’s something else I’m thankful for.

“An Ode to Daylight Savings”

Your absence ever leaves me sour,
annual absconded hour —

that vexing day when March exhibits
sixty fewer sleeping minutes.

Subtract an hour of labor, please!
But leave to me my precious Z’s!
