Where Are The Wise Men?

After a rocky road I finally have digital converters hooked up to two older TV’s that aren’t hooked up to DirecTV.  Gina tried to convince me that two is a better idea and then, after all the storms lately, I as finally convinced that, yes, we do need two.  (You see, heavy storms block out [...]

Did you know that today was Dump the Pump Day?  No, I didn’t either until about 3pm.  But a day about raising awareness about Public Transportation couldn’t be more timely than now.  Wired has a great little write-up about it.

Of course, I didn’t know about it because Omaha’s public transportation didn’t participate.  It would have [...]

Today was a first in my career — I sat on the other side of the interviewing table.  In others words, I was the job interviewer, not the job interviewee.

To be fair, it was an internal interview and I also knew the guy and encouraged him to apply.  I’m also not a  decision maker.  My [...]

I’ve struggled with my weight my entire adult life. You have to understand that to understand what follows:

Around the beginning of the year, I started making a list of “things I want to accomplish”. Not quite resolutions, but things that absolutely needed to be done. I put “Lose Weight” at the bottom [...]

Just before the Memorial Holiday, I took a class through work officially called “Effective Leadership” but it was actually “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Managers” and it was taught by an instructor from FranklinCovey.  I went into the class not thinking that it would be very good, but left knowing that I could change [...]

Gina already posted about our Memorial Day vacation but she didn’t add what we did after that.  We came back from Boelus early on Tuesday afternoon because Gina had to work later that day.  I had the next day off, and had a list that I was going to do that day — mainly, take [...]

As Gina said yesterday, I have been studying compost. Quite in depth, I may add. I won’t tell you the results of my findings yet, I will say that what I have found has been both confusing and enlightening.I get confused because people say different things about it — “don’t make your pile [...]

It’s been almost two weeks since I have posted anything. Must be a new record. But it’s not like I haven’t been doing anything. Here is an update:

Leah started soccer three weeks ago. It’s about time I posted something — the season is half done!  Leah loves it [...]

I participated in theCDP’s mix-tape trade (okay, they were all CD’s — mine was cut from iTunes, probably like many others).  The mix was supposed to be in by Feb 14 and theCDP said that the theme was supposed to about love — you know, let’s-get-in-the-mood stuff. I decided to refrain from that and do [...]

I’ve talked a little about the secret project a few times but now, finally, the secret is out. It’s called Heartland Stores.

Heartland Stores is not your typical yadda-yadda web store front. Actually, it’s not like that at all.  Heartland Stores wants to help non-profit organizations with doing product fundraisers.  It’s really very simple — instead [...]
