My Journey
Good Bye, Chase, I Wish I Would Miss You.
Mar 2nd
Dear Chase,
It is with great sadness that I am forced to write you this letter. I enjoyed our relationship together for the past year. But, you see, since you took the TARP money from the taxpayers of the United States to go on a bank-buying spree, you’ve become so abusive to me that I began [...]
My 2010 Goals (Progress Report)
Feb 3rd
You probably remember my earlier post about setting goals and resolutions for the New Year, and I thought I would give you a quick update on some things.
First, the shoes… I bought Skechers Shape Ups fitness shoes for men (and women!). I’ve been wearing them a lot more. They definitely work. I know my posture has [...]
How To Vacation With The In-Laws (and Love It!)
Feb 1st
I just returned from a wonderful vacation with my in-laws. Most people would not put “wonderful vacation” and “in-laws” in the same sentence, but I can honestly say the trip was fantastic. What’s the secret to a having a wonderful time with your in-laws (or anyone else for that matter)? It’s really quite simple.
Our trip [...]
Homeless For The Holidays
Jan 3rd
This morning, as I was leaving the parking lot of a local supermarket, I noticed two people sitting on the median at the exit of the parking lot. They were fairly young (probably in their early 20’s), a man and a woman. He was a holding a cardboard sign that said they were homeless and [...]
My Fitness Routine 2.0
Jan 1st
A few people have written in to ask about my personal fitness regimen. So, I thought I would share my 2010 version, in keeping with my “small improvement each day” thinking.
First, I purchased a pair of Skechers Men’s Shape Ups Overhaul Lace Up and I started using them today along with intentionally parking far away [...]
My Simple Christmas Wish
Dec 24th
I’m spending Christmas with my family in the frozen hinterlands of North Idaho. And, yes, it is frozen. And, yes, it is a hinterland. And the air is filled with the wishes of people young and old: wishes for money and presents (or wishes for money to buy presents!) But that isn’t what Christmas is [...]
Someone Seems To Get It At Ford
Dec 15th
I visited the 2009 Los Angeles International Auto Show this past weekend. Given how much the automotive industry has been in the news lately, and how long it’s been since I’ve been to an auto show, I thought I would share with you what I discovered. (Editor’s Note: This is an unsolicited review, and I [...]
Where Have All The Christmas Cards Gone?
Dec 12th
I’ve noticed an interesting trend these past few years. I used to receive tons of printed cards in the mail during the holidays. That has slowed to a trickle over the past year or two. I still receive at least as many holiday greetings–but the trend is definitely more on the side of e-greetings, facebook [...]
Why I Spend $52 More On Gas
Sep 30th
I often stop at the same gas station each week to fill up on gas. The cost is generally about 10 cents more per gallon than another station further down the street. Why do I knowingly pay more for gas each week?
Yes. My gas buying habits result in me paying a whopping $52 more per [...]
