Colin Dullaghan

The other day at the mall I saw a kid wearing a pretty stupid t-shirt. I think it said something like, “Know how to keep a moron in suspense? (See Back)”. And then, naturally, on the back it said the same thing, except with “(See Front)”.
This is not exactly state of the art for [...]

During yesterday afternoon’s big Dullaghan gift exchange, while wading through wads of wrapping paper on his way to the front door, my uncle Dick said something fantastic:
“Yeesh – I’m opening a window or something. It’s hotter than the hinges of Hades in here.”
It was all I could do to resist applauding.
So now, here a day [...]

The other day (not today, today all I can keep down is orange juice and I feel like someone’s slugged me in the gut) Penelope and I were watching, for some reason, clips from Demi Moore movies. Some TV show or something. There’s apparently a scene in one of her tough-chick films where she does [...]

If you drive north into downtown Indianapolis on Illinois Street, just as you’re crossing Washington Street you’ll usually see her. A woman, on the sidewalk, sitting in a wheelchair, singing.
It’s one of those things you see out your car window and shake your head at first… “some crazy lady,” you think to yourself. She’s selling [...]

People outside the ad/design world probably don’t give this much thought, but for us the holiday season brings a little added stress because of a little added obligation: the Agency Holiday Mailer. Our clients expect (or at least we expect them to expect) an ingenious, enchanting, exquisitely executed demonstration of our brilliance, somehow made relevant [...]

There’s a big debate this year over whether you should say “Happy Holidays” to everyone, out of respect and tolerance for other people’s beliefs, or if good old “Merry Christmas” is kosher.
Personally, I think they’re both awfully friendly greetings, and I wouldn’t take offense to either one.
What I’d rather talk about is this: [...]

According to this site here, there are no hot air balloon rides offered in the Saskatoon region of Canada. Not one.
Oh sure, in Manitoba you’re all set – just call Balloons Aloft in Winnipeg and they’ll hook (and take) you up. Saskatoon: nada.
Do you realize how much I wanted to be able to say [...]

Once there was a Penelope,

who had herself a Cadillac.

But Penelope’s Cadillac was getting pretty old, and since it was a mind-bogglingly complex old car, with three – count ‘em; three – separate fuse boxes, and no fewer than 1.6 jillion things that could go wrong with it at any time (from the auto-dimming [...]

Sometimes my wife is hard to be around. Sometimes she’s angry, or depressed, or impatient, or just plain shitty.
But other times, she’s more wonderful than you can even imagine. When she’s happy, she literally glows – I’m telling you. Her smile can make you thankful to be alive on this earth.
It’s a very expressive [...]

This Sunday the Colts clinched a playoff berth by beating the Tennessee Titans, 35-3.
At the same time, right there in the RCA Dome, another lopsided victory took place: My fondness for watching football was completely blown out by my aversion to large, noisy, aggressive herds of people.
It was a sellout crowd, some 58,000 fans in [...]
