I have a new job! (If you’re interested in following my career path, you can visit my Linked In profile.) Anyway, that’s not what this post is about. Sort of. I have learned that time is finite and one of the most important skills you can learn in life is to be self-directed, and self [...]

BP has given Florida 25 million dollars to spend on advertising to support their (Florida’s) tourism industry (their #1 industry). The ads, so far, promote Florida’s clean, oil-free beaches. Two things about this strike me as absurd. The first is that ANY money would be spent [read "wasted"] to promote an travel to a destination [...]

I have been experiencing a string of bad quality lately. This has ranged from poor customer service, poor product quality and even a diminished quality of relationship with friends and acquaintances. I’ve been reflecting on this, trying to figure out a cause. So I started with a look at myself. First of all, I have [...]

You know it’s been awhile since I’ve written about my neighbors – the ones in the rental house next door. We seem to go through a new set every six months or so. You haven’t heard much because the last set was relatively great! Especially compared to the ones before them. But here I am [...]

I got my plastic “provisional” front teeth in last Monday. Everyone keeps going on about how great they look. I say: “Hey, I thought I looked great without teeth!” Anyway, the teeth saga isn’t over yet. For those of you who are curious, here’s the deal:• The ones I have in now are plastic and [...]

It’s much better now. The night before last, we celebrated puke-fest 2007. Thankfully, I was the only one not to get sick. But that did mean that I had puke duty. It all started at 1:00 AM. My four year old started crying. I ran upstairs to find him covered in vomit with a nice [...]
