Now With 40% More of What You're Looking For! Wednesday, October 29, 2003. The Chairman of the company I used to work for was arrested the other day. And will be arraigned on charges of wire fraud. He faces twenty years in jail for swindling shareholders of the start-up cable television network we worked for. Talk about your sinking feeling. A few of us tried to bring in some real investors - and we had expressions of interest from some very. Are you going to the arraignment? I won't be visiting the cour...

Now With 40% More of What You're Looking For! Saturday, January 17, 2004. A kid in my church is off to war. I say "kid." He's 24, an army reservist with a couple of kids, and he's being deployed for training and eventual duty in Iraq. His mother is a mess; I haven't spoken to his wife, but I'm sure she's a mess, too. And now he's off to war. Posted by Tom @ 10:59 AM. Now that we've all bought into the Mars trip. Hubble brought the beauty and poetry of space to us. The photos ( here. NASA's planning a $30...

Now With 40% More of What You're Looking For! Wednesday, December 31, 2003. I've been to Iowa. And if you're a Democrat the news is not encouraging. Iowa, which is in many ways a time warp, is now witnessing a run-up to the caucuses that is in all. Ways a time warp. I felt like I was watching TV commercials from six months ago. If the Dems are counting on economic collapse and defeat in Iraq.well, maybe they'd better rethink. I was in Iowa visiting the inlaws for the holidays. Posted by Tom @ 11:32 AM.

Now With 40% More of What You're Looking For! Thursday, August 21, 2003. The good people at Monster. Tell me that today I should be a retirement counselor in Oakland, California. The compensation package for this exulted position includes a death and dismemberment benefit, which suggests to me that the retirees I would be counseling maybe aren't that happy about being shown the door. Posted by Tom @ 8:48 AM. What I'm Thinking About.

Now With 40% More of What You're Looking For! Friday, April 02, 2004. For those of you keeping score at home, today is the seventh Sex Day on Functional Ambivalent. That’s a week of Sex Days. Though there is historic precedence of resting on the Seventh Day, I will push and perhaps grind a little bit forward. Because I am dedicated. For those of you who prefer not to indulge in sex, please go here. Orgasm denial: Two words that strike fear into the average man’s heart. Here on the cold, damp cave floor?

Now With 40% More of What You're Looking For! Saturday, April 10, 2004. Functional Ambivalent has moved! I got a real URL and designed a (kind of) real site because Belle de Jour. Has almost exactly the same Blogger template that I use, so it made me feel like.well, you know. Kind of dirty, like I was sharing something that really shouldn't be shared. The New Funcitonal Ambivalent is located, interestingly enough, at www.functionalambivalent.com. Posted by Tom @ 9:48 AM. Friday, April 09, 2004. We will s...

Now With 40% More of What You're Looking For! Friday, June 20, 2003. A couple of days - or maybe weeks - ago. I wrote about a gynecologist named Dix. I am reminded that there is a local surgeon named Kuntz. Too bad he isn't a urologist. I'm having a lot of secret meetings. I revamped my resume again. I went to a ceremonial dinner last night. This is, to me, the best argument for open immigration that can be made: Free drinks for infidels! Posted by Tom @ 11:12 AM. Thursday, June 19, 2003. That's a slight...

Now With 40% More of What You're Looking For! Thursday, September 11, 2003. Winston Churchill, perhaps the greatest man of the 20th Century, had an idea. As the American and British Armies slogged up the Italian boot, the British Prime Minister decided it would help if the Allies invaded ahead of the front, and he chose the Italian town of Anzio as the location. Posted by Tom @ 8:28 AM. Wednesday, September 10, 2003. I'm writing this while I'm listening to a friend on the radio. He's never been a radio t...

Now With 40% More of What You're Looking For! Saturday, July 26, 2003. My kid hit a grand slam home run today. Two innings later he was up with bases loaded again, and I leaned over to my wife and said, "If he hits another one he's walking home," a reference to the fact that he often spends the ride home asking what we thought of his finest moments. Smugness knows no age. The peaches are in. I went to a farmer's market today and bought two dozen tree ripened peaches on the way home from the baseball game...
