I’m not a conspiracy theorist by nature. I believe terrorists who hijacked planes brought down the twin towers in Manhattan, for example. But I have developed a new theory that is the only possible explanation for why smart people are so distracted by stupid things. …
If there’s a low turnout at the October municipal election and this London city council gets back in, then Londoners deserve them. Â They get so little accomplished unless it’s about giving themselves a raise or a medal. Â …
You must have heard about the tape of Donald Sterling, owner of the NBA’s LA Clippers, telling his girlfriend not to be around black people. An ethical question has grown out of this scandal.

The Big Show has finished “tailgating” for another season.  For nine weeks, every day after the show, we visited another business in the city that invited us. We had many more invitations than there were days, so it’s gratifying and mostly fun! But it’s also been a huge learning experience. …
This week I reveal, as well as randt, about something I discovered. …

Last week, even though it was flashback week on the blog, a Brandt’s Randt occurred as usual. This one pretty much speaks for itself. St. Joseph’s Hospital in London is preparing its budget for the new year starting in April. And it galls me. …
You get to a point in your career where you think you’ve made all of the big boo-boos you’re going to make. Â I expect to continue to make mistakes, but not like the legendary error I made on Friday. …
From a colleague’s complaints about having to pack to an acquaintance’s whines about missing one afternoon of sunshine out of seven, I’ve had it with vacationers who have negative stories to tell about getting away from this horrible winter.
