WISE GUY | august 2010
I was having lunch with a good friend of mine the other day at RDG + Bar Annie (when am I not?) and she was telling me about a recent corporate retreat that was held at her company. The theme was “Acknowledge.” Now, what the hell does that mean? Simply put, acknowledging is the most [...]
WISE GUY | july 2010
Hello, Wise Guys and Gals, and welcome to another month of my musings, meanderings and merchandise. This time, I’m afraid the column is going to be more of a public service announcement rather than the usual product placement party.
You probably think of me as wordly, sophisticated and jaded, and while you’re mostly right, I’m also [...]

Bullets, Beef and Bling Now That’s What’s For Dinner
Hello, Wise Guys and Gals, and welcome to the June installment of your favorite column – 002houston’s Wise Guy. I don’t want to insult your intelligence, but are you aware that May (whoops, last month, but this is when I’m writing this screed) was National Beef Month? It [...]

HERE’S TO THE LADIES WHO LUNCH
Hello, wise guys and gals! You’d have to have been sleeping through March to not see all the coverage surrounding the Houston Chronicle/March of Dimes Best Dressed Luncheon. Every year a secret committee honors Our Town’s sartorial superstarinas, and this time, four great friends of this column made the short [...]
WISE GUY | april 2010
I am completely obsessed by many things: Mormonism, Scientology, prostitution, Intervention, Tool Academy, casseroles, red meat, beer-battered asparagus, cars, digital watches (have you seen William Betts’ vintage Pulsar Time Computer?) and most of all, shoes.
I’d be embarrassed to tell you how many pairs I have in my thankfully large closet – from $3 Old Navy [...]
WISE GUY | march 2010
Hello, fellow wise guys, plus new and regular readers of this column. I am writing this piece the day after the Super Bowl and the last thing I want to think about is food after stuffing myself on hamburgers, queso, ribs and ginger beer. But, in the days to come, things will get back to [...]

GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS
Hello, loyal readers, and welcome to the business issue of 002Houston. In place of my usual snarky comments and shameless product shilling, this month we’re getting serious. In today’s tough economy, no jobs are guaranteed. More and more people are taking control of their career destiny by going out on their own [...]

Happy New Year, fellow Wise Guys and Gals.
Not to get all Andy Rooney on you, but if you’re like me, you may have spent time flying (commercial) over the holidays and I have to tell you, it’s not pretty at the airports, folks. Why do I always have the pleasure of sitting next to [...]

GIVE ‘TIL IT HURTS
Happy Holidays, everyone…it’s that most wonderful time of the year again. But it can also be a hassle, especially in the gift-giving department. In fact, Jim Beam® Bourbon recently sponsored an online survey of 1,059 American men ages 21-29 and asked respondents a variety of questions relating to the holidays, including the [...]

BE A MAN
Holy mackerel! It’s November and the holiday season is once again here. Already the parties have started – maybe you made it to October March of Dimes Signature Chefs dinner chaired by Greggory Burk and Elizabeth Petersen (raised $440,000) or the awesome Catwalk for a Cure at the ZaZa featuring a runway show [...]
