This week, I shall start implementing “Thom’s Corrections and Addendums to Last Thursday’s Thoughts.” If there are no Corrections and Addendums for a particular week, it means Thom did not read my blog. Continue reading “Thom’s Thursday Thoughts”
The last time I in Philadelphia was in 2010. I met my mom and aunt there before we rented a PT Cruiser and drove to State College to attend my brother’s graduation from Penn State’s MBA program. Continue reading “Five Years Later, Back In Philly for a Day”
Thom said I shouldn’t write these every Thursday if there’s nothing to write about. I looked at him and said, “But you’re Thom! You have a lot of thoughts!” Continue reading “Thom’s Thursday Thoughts”
A few weeks ago Tom and I went to Greenpoint Brooklyn to buy a table. Continue reading “Hittin’ Up Boutiques in Greenpoint”

My mother called today with some urgency in her voice. I braced myself. She has a tendency to begin good and bad news in the same ominous way: “I have something to tell you,” she said. Continue reading “An Update From My Mother”

I know I haven’t blogged since Thom’s thoughts from last Thursday, but trust me, this is in no way going to be the bulk of the content moving forward. In any case, *due to popular demand from various readers (including Tom’s mom), this series, updated weekly, is now called “Thom’s Thursday Thoughts.” Continue reading “Thom’s* Thursday Thoughts”

I’m starting this new series to show another side of Tom in contrast to the romantic, sentimental shmuck I usually portray him to be, but I made the mistake of telling him. He then insisted on my renaming the series “Thom’s Thursday Thoughts” because he thought it would be (knee slap) “hilarious”. I was alarmed by how amused he was by this rather elementary tweak to his name and very nearly gave in until our friends wrinkled their noses, “That’s so dumb.” Not sure if they were referring to the entire series or just Tom’s suggested title, but I decided to ignore just Tom. Minus his thoughts, of course. Continue reading “A New Series: Tom’s Thursday Thoughts”
