I have slept with Kevin Bacon.
You know how they say that when you share an intimate moment with someone, that you are also indirectly sharing said intimate moment with every single person who they’ve previously shared an intimate moment with all at the same time? And do you know how they say that each and every person is about six degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon?
Based on these two important details, I’ve calculated that I’ve probably, most-likely, pretty much slept with Kevin Bacon.

Whether or not you admit it, we’re all line standers.
At more than one point in our lives we have been faced with having to stand in a line where there are people in front of us, people behind us and we wait wait wait wait wait. And more often than not we are also faced with a genus of line standers who distrust society so much that they cannot leave the queue without having someone sign (in triplicate) a semi-legal document that confirms that you will hold their place for them.
I call them line stander asker-holders.

Signing letters has gotten boring.
Sincerely, best wishes, from, yours truly — I mean c’mon letter writers of the world, can’t we come up with anything a little bit better? Can’t we come up with a list of ways to sign off at the end of a letter that would inspire, excite and intrigue the recipients of our scrawled words? Can’t we add some mystery and pure adrenaline?
I say, yes. Yes we can.
And so, without further adieu — I give you ten new ways to sign letters and I hope you will use them in good health, as often as possible, and with a sly grin on your face (which no one will be able to see because, c’mon, you’re writing a letter!)

Friday, January 20th — a day that will live in infamy.
Sadly, not all days get to live in infamy and I would be willing to bet that all the days that don’t get to be infamous are all sort of peeved that the others got to be infamous while they’re living in obscurity. To them I say, if you want to live in infamy, you go ahead and live in infamy — I won’t stop you.
But more infamous than all the days wanting to live in infamy is today’s edition of “Words For Your Enjoyment” which could very well be infamous all on its own.

I can never get a really good, nice, solid clap goin’ on.
For years I used to sit next to people at baseball games and piano recitals and a slew of other public events where clapping was a necessity and wondered why other people could clap louder, with more force, and just generally had a better sounding clap than I did.
Then I found out my left hand was bigger than my right hand.
