Telegraph:
It is one of the most secretive regimes in the world, part of George Bush’s “axis of evil” and is believed to be close to building a nuclear arsenal. Next year, however, North Korea will open its borders to an eclectic mix of models, showbusiness personalities and captains of industry taking part in the […]
Had the pleasure of seeing the Washington Nationals beat the Brewers in the bottom of the ninth last night. Great game.
And then this morning I suffered a rather amusing indignity. I stopped at Starbucks on my way into the office. (By the way, in case you didn’t know, I’m back at Burness Communications, my old […]

AHamburgerToday: “a new weblog dedicated to hamburgers. And cheeseburgers. And anything burger-related.”
Richard Wanderman writes a great Weblog called Richard’s Notes. We use the same design template and he gave me some great advice in setting mine up.
“Get Rich Slowly” is a nice compendium of personal finance advice.

Had a fun weekend. Jill and I went to dinner Friday night at the fabulous Obelisk. Exceptional vittles.
Earlier in the day–and I’m man enough to admit this–Jill treated me to a pedicure at Piaf Salon. Yes, a pedicure. My first one ever. I feel like I’m walking around on new feet now. (If you […]
“CUP-A-CAKE was designed and patented by mothers to solve the age old problem of sending cupcakes to school or outings with their children. Before CUP-A-CAKE, taking cupcakes anywhere caused a mess.”

Jill arrived on Friday and we had a good time that night at Wendy H.’s house. Photos here.
Then on Saturday night we saw the Washington Nationals beat the NY Mets at RFK stadium.
And yesterday we went to the zoo.
Great weather. The pandas were cuddly and fat–did you know those SOBs eat 40 pounds of […]
