Loving Soccer is Unamerican, According to Mark Reardon

Mark Reardon thinks soccer is Communist, and of course he’s crazy. But at least he let me plug my book. I always love going on KMOX radio – thanks so much Mark for having me in.

Let it be known – soccer is an awesome spectator sport!

Workplace Horror Stories – My Appearance On The Mark Reardon Show on KMOX

Recently on Facebook, I posted about a restaurant in Jerusalem offering a 50% discount in exchange for the patron simply turning off their mobile phone.

Then, I posted a request – give me your worst workplace horror stories – negative events that have happened in your working life, and my Facebook friends lit up the thread. Wow, go read the comments.

Anyway, my good buddy Mark Reardon of KMOX Radio fame saw both posts and asked me to come in. I wasn’t sure which we’d talk about, but we touched upon both. As always, thank you for having me in! See you next time.

The Price of Soda at Work – A Discussion with Mark Reardon of KMOX Radio

Through the haze of Obamacare website snafus, government shutdowns, gun control and all of the other sticky issues of our day, only one topic is worthy of serious discussion and consideration here on my blog: what should a can of soda from the work soda machine cost?

Don’t laugh! There’s simply no way a can of soda at work should cost 85 cents. It’s too expensive, but this was the price we were paying at Falk Harrison until the owner of the machine pulled it from the premises and explained he was not making any money.

For some additional backstory on why this issue merited discussion on the radio (something I’m still not sure of), take a listen to my appearance on Mark Reardon‘s show on KMOX.

Anagramatron – Finding Two Tweets That Are Anagrams

This is weird and amazing and, quoting Matt Fitzpatrick, surprisingly addicting.

A Tumblr that locates two tweets that are anagrams of each other. WHOA.

You can’t hug every cat.

By the way, she is passionate about cats that don’t have homes. My friends at the Animal Protective Association feel the same way. Support your local animal shelter.
