Life in Moderation
When I tell folks that my grandfather Murray passed away when he was 99 years, 11 months and 1 week I often hear “oh, too bad he missed 100 by 3 weeks.” But holy crap, he lived 99 years, [...]

Rants, raves and other off topic nonsense.
My Career in Porn
A few years ago I did what any self-absorbed person with a laptop and a little time to kill would do – I googled my full name (in double quotes mind you, to prevent all the Warren Zevon matches [...]
Biased Book Review: I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead
I remember visiting my cousin Warren Zevon backstage at concerts, usually in the green room with the names of other artists scrawled on the walls and ceiling. His manager would prevent fans from [...]
Limping into the Sunset…
I don’t like to talk about it, but the Fit Geek went down with a knee injury. I haven’t had an official diagnosis, but Dr. Internet and friends lead me to believe I have bursitis or [...]
Looking for Time
I can’t tell you how much the emails, phone calls and even the Western Union telegram I received – inquiring about when the next Bitness posting will occur- have meant to me. My loyal [...]

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
My neighbors asked me to take their trash to the curb while they’re away on vacation. This family generates more trash in a week than we can in months. I opened their garage door and it was [...]
Not Quitting my Day Job
I can’t even get my friends to regularly visit Bitness, let alone total strangers who share an interest in fitness and gadgets. Would I like this thing to explode and write 7 days-a-week about [...]
