I like to misuse corporate jargon whenever possible. I try to integrate phrases or buzz words like circle back, best practices, taking a 10,000 ft. view, and my most favorite, subvert the dominant paradigm, when least proper or sensible. If I were playing Buzzword Bingo…

Today: What’s up, Doc?
My New Year’s cold has now taken up residence in my chest as a hacking New Year’s cough. I sound like Walter Matthau. While picking up Tylenol PM for my older brother yesterday (I can’t tell you why, because I want him to tell you…

Today: 2010.
