We are on day 14 of our lastest Super Squats Challenge: jumping lunges. The goal of the first 30 days is to increase the number of lunges you do in 30 seconds by 25% from your baseline. For example, if you did 15 on your first day, the goal is to get to 18-19 by August 25th. Sounds like a lot but you can do it! Continue reading
We are deep in the throes of summer. Hot, sticky, miserable summer. Looking fresh is not only becoming a battle, it’s maybe one that we have just given in to. You walk down the street and see women waving the white flag surrender. Fear not, women! There is a weapon you have not yet acquired and deployed. Continue reading
A therapist friend recently asked me for advice. (No this isn’t the opening remark at the American Psychiatric Association convention.) She was feeling remiss about starting, and not keeping up with, a blog. What with her practice and her actual life, her energies didn’t seem to be directed into blogging. I actively listened (until she took a long breath, I’m only human after all) and asked her “why do you want a blog?” “I guess I don’t, I just thought I should” she replied. I assured her that no one is watching. Continue reading

“We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because…he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.”
– Buckminster Fuller

I was recently out with friends having frozen dranks (no, not in a hott tubb, unfortunately) when the talk somehow turned to manscaping. One of my friends, a straight (and not particularly metrosexual) dude, mentioned that he trims the hair down below. “It’s one of the little things I do that I know women appreciate,” he said. And the women we were with (all in their late 20s or early 30s) all gave the thumbs up. Continue reading
The Penobscot building in downtown Detroit just sold for $5M to a Toronto based company. The selling price was $5.00 per square foot for the 1M square foot building. Detroit office space vacancy rates are currently around 25%. But for the same amount of money you can get 173 Perry Street, Unit 4N in Manhattan. Assuming you live there or can rent it out the vacancy rate should be zero. Continue reading
