It's the lemonade
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

A 7 year old young man just bought what he has dreamed about...a pony. Sabastion Lucas from Australia sold lemonade for 3 years to save up enough money to purchase his new pony Tom.     Sabastian makes his lemonade with lemon and sugar and sells it for 20 cents a cup. It became so popular he would regularly sell out.   I think we should make him a

Maybe...maybe not
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

After a 60th birthday party in Saratoga tonight and a wedding in Maryland Sunday, we're heading to Myrtle Beach on Monday. Then again Matthew may have something to say about it as it pounds the Carolina coast this morning.   It's a game time decision whether we go or not. There are automatic no-go factors and ones that could sway me either way. For

B Generous
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

That was on a license plate I noticed yesterday and I started to wonder...   I know many people who are generous with their time and money...even if it is in a small way. For myself, I am generous to a fault, especially in business.   I give my time and efforts to many pursuits that are not profitable. My Father and I used to discuss that quite a b

Let's stay healthy
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

A hug a day...   Yes it's true. A study published by Carnegie Mellon suggests that, in addition to making us feel connected with others, hugs may prevent us from getting sick. You might think that hugging hundreds of strangers would increase your exposure to germs and therefore the likelihood of falling ill. But the research out of Carnegie Mellon

For all that's left
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

What's left after a bruising battle, a war, a conflict, an argument? Raw feelings, resolution, terror....? Can we as a country feel unified? Did we ever?   We are fed a stream of news that is divisive and lopsided, you can pick the side. Social media feeds us what we want to hear...not what we should hear. Yes...it's true. Social media keeps track

Beer taster needed
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

Yes it's true. Walled City Brewery in Londonderry, Northern Ireland posted an advertisement in a local newspaper seeking a 'beer taster.' The lucky person will be required to taste up to 40 craft beers once a month.   And get this..."Training will be provided but ideally we are looking for an understanding of the nature of craft beers, for someone

A day that won't go away
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

Two months ago, Joshua Justice was working his manager shift at the Flying Saucer Draught Emporium—a small chain of UFO-themed brewpubs—located in Houston, Texas when he spilled a large amount of liquid on his pants. Bummer.   Thanks to a passing car equipped with Google Street View camera, that day has been preserved for all to see. Double Bummer

Olympic signs
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

From Rio de Janeiro, an Olyimpic athlete shared a photo of this quite unusual bathroom sign banning throwing toilet paper into toilets -- and using commodes as fishing holes (lower left) among other uses.     Delle Donne, the Olympian who posted this said "Guess I won't be toilet fishing today."   I think they'll need more graphics in Tokyo if Rya

At what cost
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

I enjoy watching the Olympics. I'm always amazed at the dedication, drive and committment these athletes make to test their skills and athletic prowess once every four years. The sheer beauty of the venue, athletes and host country is truly spectacular.   However, as Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel reported on their recent show about the IOC and t

Olympic green
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

Now two pools at the Olympics have turned green. There's a strange brew going on in that aquatic center.   They've shut them down and the athletes are not interested in diving into green water. Although the "commitee" says it's okay, Tom Stenfort tweeted this yesterday...     I thought this was Brazil's attempt at doing something different...

The magic pass
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

Not being a frequent visitor to Citifield I did not know the parking situation. Fred had suggested I buy a parking pass for the Gotham Met/Yankee game last Monday. Little did I know that it was a magic pass.   As we (Jake, Fred, Joanne and I) approached the stadium, we had to pass through a myriad of police, security guard and employee checkpoints.

It's a dog's (Dad's) world
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

As a parent, there will always be a moment (or several) where your children will want a dog. You may or may not like dogs. You may even be allergic to them. What you do know is that having one is a lot of work.   One father created this ingenious and really funny contract for his kids to sign before they could get a dog. (BTW, the dad posted this o

A Nice Sign
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

CUPS, a Virginia coffee shop, may have stumbled on a way to solve some of the world's problems. They have gained international attention after a photo of the sign (seen below) went viral. The sign maker was overheard saying "I decided because I need to solve all the injustices of the world to start charging more for people who didn't take the time

Has anything really changed?
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

Following are the lyrics to a great song by the Temptations. I was singing this to myself this morning and realized how appropriate the message is today. What's amazing is that this was written and released 46 years ago...   People moving out, people moving in. Why, because of the color of their skin.Run, run, run but you sure can't hide. An eye fo
