Okay, just because I spent $240 yesterday on a new carbon paddle — two thirds the price I paid for the whole kayak a few years ago! — doesn’t mean I’m stupid.  You won’t catch me shelling out $20,000 for a Rockstar Puppy custom doghouse equipped with heat and air-conditioning that can be contro…

There’s a commercial I hear on sports talk radio — I think it’s for Goodyear Tires — in which one guy says to another guy something like, “Just because you use seatbelts on your dogs doesn’t make them your kids.”  (Will someone who’s better at searching the internet than I am let me know the act…
So it turns out, bion1, that Ricky and I are not the only dog/human pair within a 3-mile radius of Devon Road who like to drive cross-country! We’re at Southport Harbor yesterday for our daily destination walk, and Ricky trots over to a large-but-very-friendly Golden, who’s rolling around on his b…
Got an e-mail earlier this week from my wife on the intra-Herman distribution list (Carol, Matt, Greg, Robby, Luz, me):  “OMG . . . I’m crying.”  The subject line read:  Joyful beagle sees owner after 6 months. Sounded great — but I was in the middle of something and couldn’t watch the video at th…

We didn’t get through the entire Top 100 that Saturday night.  In fact, it wasn’t until lunchtime Monday — Memorial Day — that we finally  reached the Top 10.  By then, as the holiday weekend wound down, the crowd was a little less raucous and celebratory, and a little more judgmental.  (Sort of…
“Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” the Beach Boys great 1966 hit, came on first.  I experienced a moment of trepidation, but the song drew a rousing ovation.  Numero 100 was a hit with the crowd!  Phew!  I felt gratified — and relieved.  If #100 got this kind of reaction, imagine what it would be like when w…
The excitement had been building since Thursday night, when the first wave of Memorial Day weekend revelers began showing up at our beach place in Montauk.  Arriving earliest were Robby and a bunch of friends, already socked in and watching Heat vs. Pacers, Game 6, when Carol and I got there.  A…
