My wife is constantly freezing. We go for walks in the morning, and I will have on a sweatshirt and shorts, while she is decked out in her winter coat and snowpants. That’s why I was a bit concerned when, lately, she’s been throwing the covers over me at night. She claims to be waking […]
This spring, our family bought a pontoon boat, which I call the minivan of the sea. Despite being 24 years old, it is in excellent condition because the previous owners took great care of it. They always kept it covered to protect it from the elements. Because it was so well-covered, though, any moisture in […]
When I meet with clients to discuss estate planning, I always explain that the documentation that we help put together for them does not override any previously designated beneficiaries on things like life insurance or retirement plans. Named beneficiaries trump any will or trust documents we put together. Unfortunately, Jeffrey Rolison’s family has learned this […]
When I was in high school, my buddies and I went to see Kiss in concert at the Brown County Arena. We got there early, so we landed terrific seats in the first row of seating off the floor. Because we were early, we watched all the other concertgoers roll in. Many of them were […]
One of my favorite ‘80s movies is ‘Coming to America.’ The film stars Eddie Murphy as Akeem, Prince of the prosperous African kingdom of Zamunda. Instead of going through with his arranged marriage, he elects to travel to Queens, New York, to fall in love and marry someone of his choosing. To prevent women from […]
Last week I wrote about actress Scarlett Johansson’s concerns over OpenAI’s unauthorized use of her voice for their artificial intelligence software. She is not alone in her plight. Voice actors Paul Skye Lehrman and Linnea Sage are suing AI firm Lovo for allegedly commissioning them for voice projects under false pretenses to create and sell […]
I saw a hilarious video online the other day of Morgan Freeman purportedly narrating everyday people’s lives. While the voiceover was very good, you could definitely tell it’s an impersonation. With Artificial Intelligence these days, however, it’s getting harder and harder to spot a fake. Actress Scarlett Johansson voiced the title character in the film […]
A few years ago, my family was invited to a wedding. Instead of going to a banquet hall for the reception, however, we went to a barn. It was a cool day in May, so all the women in my family were freezing, and it only got worse as the night went on. Despite the […]
This year was a big year for Ivy League hoops. First, Yale won their conference tournament to earn a bid in the NCAA tournament where the 13th seeded Bulldogs upset the Auburn Tigers. Even more shocking, however, was how Dartmouth ended their season. The Big Green went 2-12 to finish 8th in the conference and […]
As I’ve previously mentioned, last fall, five buddies and I went to Las Vegas to celebrate us all turning 50. After studying several YouTube tutorial videos, we tested our luck at the craps table and had so much fun. Since I won’t be going back to Vegas anytime soon, if I ever get the gambling […]
