Life Serenity Now!
Timing Is Everything
I would have totally been up for this if I got it BEFORE it started instead of AFTER it started…by three hours. Let’s hope they got some people for the event.
Music Podcasts
DJ Dan Morrell
Every once and awhile I come across music that I really enjoy. If you like upbeat dance music – check out Chicago’s very own DJ Dan Morrell. Make sure you check out his podcasts. I have bought more music after listening to them than I have in a long time! Good stuff. Anything else? Yes […]
Crazy Signs/Places Life
Crossing Through Pennsylvania
On our recent trip east – we crossed completely through Pennsylvania twice and this was just west of Lockhaven, PA. We had to exit off of 80 for a gas/Mt. Dew break and as we were getting ready to turn right – we had to wait while the horse and buggy went by first. Needless […]

214 Simmons (Penn State) Offspring
On our travels east – we stopped over at my freshman and sophomore college roommate’s house. We snapped a photo of all our kids before we left. It is just hard to believe we are all (my roommate and I) grown up and are raising potential Penn Staters!
Places
My Kind of Town
A few weeks ago A and I went on a special tour of Chicago given by Geoffrey Baer. If you are from this area – you know him from the WTTW tours of the city/suburbs. The weather was iffy – and we ended up driving home through tornadic conditions, but we had a great time. […]

LandRover Event – Year 2
Last year right after we bought the LR3 – we decided to do a LandRover sponsored event to learn just what the vehicle is made for/can do (besides look really sweet). We got some video/photos but they just did not see to do what we did justice. This year we brought some friends along who […]

Plastic Card Payment
Some form buttons need to be noted – and this is one of them. Really – a simple “Continue” would not have worked? Where is this from? Library of Congress. Perhaps I should have donated more to help out the programming team.

Wrong Email Address
It has happened for years…how many times have you had to say “sorry I think you have the wrong number”. I often get the newer version of this – wrong email addresses that end up coming to me (both business and personal). I sometimes respond and let them know about it – but there are […]

My New Daily Treat: jerryseinfeld.com
I think I have seen every single Seinfeld episode several times and have enjoyed his stand up routine live and on DVD/audio. Now you can enjoy three clips of his stand up routine every day on his web site: http://www.jerryseinfeld.com. I plan to spend some time there everyday while I grab a bite to eat. […]
Music
New Beastie Boys Album
There are some artists that I feel like I have been listening to forever and Beastie Boys are definitely in this list. I remember trading 3 blank tapes to one of my third grade classmates for Licensed to Ill. (I was so proud). The Beastie Boys have been a part of my life and as […]

Jappler Recommends: Mr. Duct
After living in our home for over 5 years and having done some construction/having dogs and cats we decided to get our air ducts cleaned. I did some initial research last week and after talking to the people at Mr. Duct I decided to go with them. They were not the cheapest – but they […]
