My US Flag Was Made In China

I like to support the Illinois VFW and so this time around – for my donation they gave me a new US flag and flagpole kit. I was quite excited as I have been meaning to get one for awhile now. When I opened up the kit – I was pretty shocked to see that […]

What is Fiction Here?

On my way to lunch – a truck almost sideswiped me before realizing I was to the left of them and that caught my attention. When we came to the next stop light, the driver jumped out of his car while the light was red, took out a tape measure, and proceeded to measure the […]

Space Age Typist

After a crazy few weeks – I saw something that shows how I have felt: Space Age Typist. Perhaps a title change is in line for me… Have a great weekend.

Traveling with Children

We just returned to Chicagoland from a trip to see my parents/grandparents. While I was not really excited to travel with all three kids – I knew my family would appreciate it. Since we were traveling with all three kids (4 years, 7 month twins) I figured it would be a nightmare. To my surprise […]

Life Serenity Now!

Holy Crap

I walked past this car and it instantly made me laugh. What did those birds eat – and what did the person do to them that owns this car?
