Life happens in the small moments…enjoy and learn from them.
(Initial text is from a stranger, my response is in green) Yesterday I had a little fun with someone that texted me by mistake. Being a Star Wars fan – I could not help myself…I had to reply! My only hope (man the Star Wars dialog lives on everywhere!) is that this person either “gets […]
Since it seems like it is almost spring – I decided to do some grilling over the weekend and forgot to cover it. This morning I went out in the backyard and had a lovely reminder it is still very much winter. Perhaps I will cover up the grill again after everything melts 😉
I have been enjoying Apple’s web interface to iTunes. Last week I wanted to pass on a link to one of my favorite podcasts and was able to send this link which allows you to listen/preview/subscribe to the podcast all via a web browser. Sharing has never been easier. PS – check out episode 281 […]
I am a Volvo fan tried and true. This morning I needed to go out. My Volvo was pretty buried from the Chicago blizzard (the snow was even packed tight in my wheel bases!). Without fail – I turned it on and backed right up, no problems. Thank you Scandinavia!
So apparently Chicago can predict a storm or two correctly. I spent this morning walking through (and snow blowing) a few feet of snow in my driveway/back patio area. Even though it took some work – this morning was fun!
Growing up just south of Buffalo taught me quite a few things: How to always be able to start a snow blower The difference between “Upstate New York” vs. “Western New York” How to not root for the home team How to actually deal with snow Out here in Chicago I have seen a trend […]
Over the past year I have spent a lot of time thinking about what life really means for me personally. Now that I have three kids – I have a lot more on the line…not only for them, but also for me. I realized I needed to get a real perspective on life. I saw […]
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 […]
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?
Tomorrow is mid-term elections and over the last few weeks I have grown more and more disgusted with the campaign tactics and politicians in generally. Not only do we have to put up with horrible attack ads, we have to also put up with “well they are not going to do anything with issue y […]
The last two years or so I feel like I have been constantly saying “I am too busy for this” and “I am too busy for that” – both of which I really want to do (enter in golf, relax, drink more water, exercise even send something in the mail. I know – it is […]
We all work at different paces. Some like to try and do everything really quickly so they can relax later. Others wait until the last moment and race to get things done (they find energy and excitement in the challenge to finish). Still others prefer to keep a grueling pace throughout the entire project in […]
