Wait, wait, don’t tell me, I am in the middle of Atlas Shrugged. At 645,000 words and 1168 pages it is the 15th longest novel of all time, just longer then War and Peace. So it is taking me a little while to get through it. It has been enjoyable so far. I don’t agree [...]

So I was leaving the grocery store last night when a Girl Scout asked me “Would you like to buy some Girl Scout Cookies?”  I bought a box, but I also offered her some advice on selling.  While, I have not used these techniques to sell cookies directly, I suspect they might would.  I thought [...]

OK, at the risk of getting myself on some Government hit list, I really want to share this. The other day Dawn and I were watching The Majestic with Jim Carey. I really enjoyed the movie. It takes place during the McCarthyism Anti-Communism hearings. Watching how ludicrous the hearings and investigations were depicted it made [...]

This is something really cool that I have been meaning to blog about since before Thanksgiving. Denise pointed out that I haven’t been updating my blog near enough (ugh, I just meta-blogged!) So we wanted to get our family a Nintendo Wii for Christmas. They run about $225 – $300, which is reasonable, but then [...]

There were a lot that I immediately recognized. Some of the others I had to use process of elimination or otherwise deduce. Well made test. Although, there is an easy way to cheat. Anyone notice it? I received 85 credits on The Sci Fi Sounds Quiz How much of a Sci-Fi geek are you? Take [...]

I was out of croutons for lunch today, but there was Chex Mix and Corn Nuts in the break room, so I threw those on. Came out very tasty! I think the Chex Mix was better then the Corn Nuts, but I am partial to Chex Mix anyway. I didn’t include any of the rye [...]

“Everything but the kitchen sink.” was the text attached to this picture from my wife. I am sure I mentioned we are moving from sunny Nampa, Idaho (close to Boise) to rainy Mukilteo, Washington (close to Seattle). FYI, Mukilteo is pronounced like Muckle-Tea-Oh (like Buckle). Took me a while to get that right. I’ve actually [...]

Not much better then pop-tarts, but it is my new managers birthday. I believe you should always eat some birthday cake.  Your diet in general should be good enough to carry you through birthday cake or any other time you are offered modest food from others. 

Pockets are deceivingly large. It doesn’t seam like they hold much. Through out the day as you have small pocket sized items you place them in your pocket. Finally you go to retrieve one. That is when you discover that pockets are much bigger then you thought as you attempt to find the item you [...]

Pop-Tarts and Skim Milk is like a Big Mac and a Diet Coke. The skim milk doesn’t ease my mind that I am having Pop-Tarts since I don’t usually drink milk at all. They are both treats, and the fact that the break room stocks them both makes them really easy access. Milk is actually [...]
