Life happens in the small moments…enjoy and learn from them.

Business Serenity Now!

This is Not Google

I just got a call from an automated service (I did not stay on long enough to hear all of it) that said: “This is an important call for the business owner. This is not Google…” I figured when they said “This is not Google” they really meant to say “this is a scam to […]

World Trade Center Must Read

I have been following the World Trade Center area since the horrific events unfolded just short of 10 years ago. If you are curious about the reconstruction of 1 World Trade Center – take a look at this great illustration/timeline: http://www.bspcn.com/2011/08/28/world-trade-center-reborn/.

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!

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 […]

Serenity Now!

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. […]
