A Day with My Son
For the West Coast, I think I put in some pretty respectable hours at work. My wife takes care of our son and our home. I refer to her as CEO of Fatzinger, Inc., as she is, in actuality, the boss, but also because she has a job far more difficult than mine. That of managing the lives of two boys separated in age by 38 years. For the most part, I come back in to the world of my wife and son when...

Helping a Distressed Child in Need - The Moyer...
Today I attended the Moyer Foundation Annual Giving Luncheon with my wife, and the entire Nology Media team. We took up a table of 10. While it seemed like big deal to need an entire table, we were merely a fraction of the 1,000 guests in attendance.
The Moyer Foundation has been a client of ours for a few months, and I grow more amazed by the work they do every day we do work for them. While...

“If you don’t do it this year, you’ll be one year older when you do.”
– Warren Miller
Restart
I’ve seen lots of friends abandon Twitter accounts. Some just stop sending Tweets for no reason. For months they go without writing anything. But the writers - the ones that enjoy the interaction - they come back. Some thought spurns their interest in the medium again. Some people abandon Facebook. A privacy hack or the annoyance of all the requests to play mindless games just puts them...

What's in a fortune...cookie?
Today, I was having lunch with some colleagues at PF Chang’s in Bellevue. At the end of the meal, the check came, and I picked a fortune cookie out of the pile of the six or so. It said:
“Remember three months from this date. Good things are in store for you.”
Three months from this date just happens to be my wife’s due date.
Life is beautiful.

New Addition to Keith Olbermann's "Worst List":...
Here’s a guy who spends every night bashing everything that’s wrong with the current government, Iraq, the financial meltdown, and Bush’s clothing choices. And he gets PAID to do it. Yet, he takes none of his own message to task on Election Day. On The View today, Olbermann told the panel that, as a “symbolic gesture”, he doesn’t exercise his right to vote.

Now that gasoline is back to the prices it was three years ago, can we please “dispense” with the FUEL SURCHARGE B.S. on every single service we buy that involves an engine?
This means you…Airlines…UPS, FedEx…Taxis and Sedans…Car rental companies…local delivery companies…the pool man(?/!)
We know this was just a way for you to advertise prices for...
Baby Registry.
Several people have asked if we registered someplace for the little man we’re expecting early next year. Actually we hadn’t, until recently, when our newborn expert friends Rob and Lindsay took us on a tour of Babies ‘R Us to show us the ropes. Wow, was that helpful. I mean, how many kinds of sucking and rattling things does one kid need? Anyway, if you’re interested,...

“Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful.”

“Go vote now. It will make you feel big and strong.”
– Bob Sheiffer, at the end of today’s Presidential Debate, remarking on what his mother told him when he was young. Best quote of the whole thing.
