Life happens in the small moments…enjoy and learn from them.
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 […]
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 […]
It is unbelievable how some people act on a conference call or even a business related call. From my experience here are some pointers on how NOT to impress your colleagues/clients/developers. (All based on actual things I have experienced) Make a business call while in the drive-thru at McDonanlds…and then ask me to hold while […]
(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?
