If you don’t know what Soy Vay is, it is a line of sauces available in stores.  It was created by a Jewish guy,  and an Asian girl…..hence the name.

Pretty much four out of the five workdays, I’ll make my own Teriyaki bowl for lunch.   Chicken breast, broccoli, rice, and shredded carrots —- and [...]

The other day I was in the lunchroom with some coworkers. I reached into my pocket and realized I had some loose change.
A couple of dimes, nickels, and pennies was all.  It was then I decided to just put a few cents on the table in front of each person I was eating with.  That’s [...]

Even though his head and body are now probably located in different zip codes, Ted Williams was once not only a spectacular baseball player, but also a financially savvy human.
According to a buddy of mine, the long-time Boston Red Sox legend used to try to pay for stuff using personal checks as much as possible.
His [...]

Why are you making fun of advancing technology?  What did it ever do to you? (Besides help create bombs, machines guns, and biochemical warfare).  Keep in mind I’m referring to consumer technology from here on out.
I remember when we all first started hearing about the iPad.   It was hip to make fun of it, especially [...]

Believe me, I’m not one of these people who complains all the time about what’s wrong with Facebook.   However, I am not a fan of some recent changes (to our profiles, etc).

I don’t remember every detail of this story, but here’s basically how it went down.
A friend of mine, Tony, had signed up to take a course(s) at UCLA.  These were courses outside any major undergraduate/graduate programs.   Upon completion of his registered classes, Tony decided to continue his education.
Basically he often lingered around the campus, and [...]

It’s one thing to be in a bar, and order Bailey’s or a drink that contains it, but to buy a bottle of Bailey’s Irish Cream at the liquor store has to be one of the most moronic actions any human can take.
You see, you are 100% paying for the brand name of Bailey’s.  You [...]

Maybe this is more of an L.A. thing, but then again, maybe not.  Quite often I’ll be sitting in my car in a long line of cars in traffic.
Perhaps there are two lanes heading in each directions.  In between lanes, homeless people will often walk in between the cars seeking out donations.
This is when I [...]

Good friend Lance told me the following story the other night:
He was pulling into a parking lot somewhere here in Los Angeles, when a group of Mexican men started waving at him.  Being polite, he waved back.  Then all of a sudden all these guys started sprinting toward his Toyota pick-up truck.  Once they got [...]

Recently I dropped off my baseball glove at a shoe repair place.  This inside of my glove had torn up leather, so I wanted to get a thin leather patch sewn up in there.
Anyway, I dropped the glove off, and the guy there said it would cost $65. Fine.
So about a week later I go [...]
