Last week, I added a new airport to my list: Fayetteville, NC. Not big news, just one of my rare (at least now) business trips. There’s not much to do in Fayetteville, so I don’t really have anything to write about. However, I do have some things to say about our “completed” home remodel. I’m [...]

Today is a melancholy day. Oh, most things are looking up mind you. The remodel is coming along and I’m sanding and painting the patches in the wall and ceiling. The electrician will be in tomorrow to finish most of the work. And, I even have a new opportunity at work which should help my [...]

Having attempted barbeque brisket a couple of times before in my smoker and not being completely satisfied, I’ve sought advice on how to proceed from those who have tasted success… literally. The key, it seems, is the meat. Not just the quality of the meat, though, but the cut. Most briskets here are trimmed and [...]

The FiOS install went great, but… After turning in my cable box yesterday and cancelling my residential cable service through Cox, they came out this morning and disconnected my business internet service as well. Argh. And just as I was getting packed to head to Los Angeles for TEC2010. As you can see, though, all [...]

Two words: Awesome. Well, that wasn’t two, so I’ll compensate by adding a few more. Today, we ditched Cox cable for Verizon FiOS TV. Cox, the regular local cable provider, is actually not bad. They have great [for a cable company] customer service, but I’ve been disappointed with the service itself. The signals are low [...]

It looks like we’re in for it again. The snows have begun and they say it could be another 20 inches. Wow. You know, after what happened over the weekend, I’m not exactly sure where we’re going to put the extra snow. Our sidewalks and shoulders are already full. This is our street: 20 MORE [...]

I have to say that this year has been the most snow I’ve ever seen in my life. That’s really not saying much since I spent my formative and most of my adult life living in Houston, but I’ve been in winter storms before. I’ve even been in one in Wyoming that had more snow [...]

Late Wednesday night of our cruise, we arrived in Nassau, Bahamas – our first shore experience began shortly after. We docked around 9PM and were able to push our way out of the boat a half hour or so later. Everything was closed. Well, not everything. The Atlantis resort was open. We all piled in [...]

No, not the U2 song, but Friday, I turned 40. It’s an eye-opening experience and I frequently wonder where the time has gone. I mean: I don’t FEEL 40… except after I work out too hard. This year, after saving up lots of money by selling off old books, I was given a gift card [...]
