A Proud Day

It is once again the first Tuesday after the first Monday in Novemeber. I was proud to turn in my punched ballot this morning before I went to work, and I hope this election charges the country up for future elections because every vote does count. (but why are we still having problems counting these […]

Presidential Ties/Colors

Is it me or does anyone else wonder why every time we see President Bush, even while rhe was running for office in 1999, that he always wore and still wears the same color tie? You know the one…the light blue color. Who is the brain power behind this decision? Now, every once and awhile […]

Finally, The Prodigy Releases a New CD!

I still remember the day when a co-worker told me I would like this group called The Prodigy. Turns out she was right. That was back in 1997, today it is 2004…and it has been a long seven years since I had new material from them, but so far I really like the album. A […]

Project Rebirth

I enjo coming across great web sites that are well done, and here is the latest: http://www.projectrebirth.org/. This link was passed to me from my father-not-in-law who lives near NYC and always keeps me on top of all things 9/11. The time lapsed camera is awesome.

Wedding Registries

Well, it is that time again, a relative is getting married and has registered for gifts. While I think wedding registers are very helpful for people that actually want to get people what they want, I also find some of the items a bit much. Enter, the $45.00 nickel plated toilet brush. Yes, a nickel […]

Umbrella Carrying/Using in Chicago

Ok, so what is the deal with the golf umbrellas downtown? Does one person really need the gigantic umbrella all for themselves? On my way home last night in the pouring rain I was reminded of how much I hate rain in Chicago. First, we have to deal with all the wind, and if you […]

Vote

Perhaps people do not realize how important voting really is, perhaps people do not fully understand the President’s duties. Something to consider.

Serenity Now!

my newest sport: the daily commute.

In high school, I played basketball, volleyball, was on the golf team, on the track team and played some serious back yard football. I was very athletic. I miss playing all the sports I did when I was younger, but I have to say I am still using things I learned from all of the […]

Serenity Now! Standards

metra riders: single seats are upstairs.

I have been riding the Metra for over five years now, and not once have I ever put my bag next to me on a busy train to try and deter other people from sitting next to me. I have also never asked someone to move their bag until this morning. My morning express is […]

Serenity Now! Standards

six flags, take two.

Having a Six Flags’ season pass is great. We can make a last minute decision to go to Six Flags in the afternoon or after dinner, and that is what we did on Saturday. Figuring the park would start to slowly empty at 5pm, well we were mistaken, but perhaps it was because we just […]
