99 Cents (MM #5074)

For years, businesses have made us think we’re getting a deal when a price ends in 99 cents. Instead of paying $20 for something, you often pay $19 and some change. It could be $19.99 or even $19.97, but it’s still an old sales trick. Well, those days are changing. The President has told the…

Upcoming Movies (MM #5073)

Like many, I enjoy watching the Super Bowl for the commercials. If the game’s not close, like last night’s, the ads are usually what everybody is buzzing about the next day. And while some were amusing, I didn’t see any commercials last night that we’ll be talking about for decades. I don’t know if cutting…

Party Foods (MM #5072)

The Super Bowl is finally here. For many people, it’s not about the game. Today is a day to get together with friends for a party. One of the most popular Super Bowl party foods is Buffalo wings, or just chicken wings if you don’t like the hot sauce and blue cheese. Some people go…

Important Questions (MM #5071)

I’ve talked a lot about the bird flu over the last few weeks. I’m not obsessed, just curious. But sometimes, my curiosity gets the best of me. I sometimes go down rabbit holes online to find answers to my important questions. Okay, maybe they’re not that important. But I enjoy the research process. The one…

Trivia Night (MM #5069)

Last night, I went out for drinks with a few of my coworkers. Some of our partners flew into Nashville yesterday. They have some meetings scheduled but want to get the team together after work. So we went down the street to one of our neighborhood bars. Like most places in Nashville, they have a…

Fake (MM #5068)

I’ve been immersed in the social media world for nearly two decades. Looking back to the days of MySpace, I’m amazed at all the differences. Technology has changed it all. We could never imagine just how much. Today, we have to look at every post that hits our feed and wonder if it’s real or…

Egg Shortage (MM #5067)

Today, we’re talking about the topic that won’t go away: eggs. The prices continue to rise, that is, if you can find them. Over the weekend, my wife went out for her regular weekly grocery shopping. All they had in the refrigerated section was a sign offering an apology, but no eggs. I don’t know…

Fraternity (MM #5066)

When many young men go to college, one of the first things they look to do is join a fraternity. I briefly considered joining one during my freshman year but quickly realized it wasn’t the right fit. I’ve always been somewhat of a loner and prefer to surround myself with a small group of close…

Dream Home (MM #5065)

Do you ever watch those home-buying shows on HGTV? My wife loves programs like Million Dollar Dream Home and House Hunters. I don’t understand how she tolerates them. While they’re not like those outrageous reality TV programs that are all the rage, they’re a bit twisted. The premise is simple. A couple is looking for…
