A Sidewalker’s Thanksgiving

November 26, 2009

Having grown up in England I was not too familiar with the Thanksgiving holiday until I had settled down here in the USA for a few years. You may ask as I’m not American what do I know about the traditional Thanksgiving holiday? Well I did follow in the footsteps of the Pilgrim Fathers, the [...]

‘Ground Control to Major Sidewalker…’

November 23, 2009

I seem to have uncovered the brutal truth that Luke Sidewalker is not immune to the forces of gravity.  During the summer it seemed that my star was rising. I had a story published in the Jersey Journal about me written by Troy Dreier. I had written a series of articles for FiLife about my [...]

Sidewalker on the Silver Screen?

November 18, 2009

If I remember correctly Gordon Gekko once said in the film Wall Street,”Lunch is for whimps”. Well Mr. Gecko, I beg to differ, I find lunch rather agreeable especially when I miss breakfast because Sidewalker Jr. is dragging his feet on the way to school.

Shopping with Sidewalker #4

The 15th of the month rolled around quickly, so that means it’s off to the supermarket again for my monthly ‘man in the street’ inflation or deflation litmus test! The white seedless grapes are continuing their relentless push higher. I’m wondering how long it will be until a bunch of grapes are more expensive than [...]

November 12, 2009

The other day I was approached by my friend Ash, he told me about some fund raising he was doing for the Prostate Cancer Foundation. Apparently every year they re-brand November as Movember, and the goal is to raise money by sponsoring someone to grow a mustache. This year I thought I’d join in the [...]

Sidewalk Sighting

November 11, 2009

It has been reported to me from a rock solid source that last night there was a celebrity Sidewalker pounding the local pavements here in Hoboken, N.J. It was one of the chief architects of our current financial crisis. None other than the former Federal Reserve Chairman, Alan Greenspan. He was sighted on the corner [...]

The Good, The Bad and The Sidewalker

November 10, 2009

It seems that someone has turned off the spigot of free cash on the sidewalk lately as my finds have become noticeably rarer. Perhaps it is a change in my daily routine that has taken me off the well trodden paths of  Hoboken, and led me to the cash desert of Edgewater. The only oasis [...]

Welcome to The Mail Room

November 6, 2009

It’s Friday and that normally means it is time to delve into the Sidewalker Mailbag, but this week we are still getting used to our new surroundings. Since the premature move from my old cyber-location last weekend I’ve been dying to try out some of the new features available to me on this template. Today [...]

The Golden Barometer of Truth

November 5, 2009

After two long days of nut scratching the Federal Reserve offered up its statement yesterday afternoon, and true to the form of the last few years it was once again laced with contradictions and ambiguity.  I won’t get into the nuts and bolts of it because it is not worthy of a detailed deconstruct, but [...]
