When I was a little kid, I thought playing pool was bad because they served alcohol and people drank at pool halls. I also knew that people gambled on pool and lost a lot of money, etc. My mom taught me one day at Waldo’s Beach how to play plain old 8-ball. It was later…
Entrepreneurs: Take Time Out with Loved Ones
I’ve written before about the “New Economy” – what we should be valuing nowadays is more time for ourselves and with our family, rather than more possessions. Possessions are nice; don’t get me wrong. But even when I was making lowly pay as a manager at a certain Big Blue Video Rental Corporation, my time…
The Super Bowl of Rodeo
During the first week of this past December, the University of Nevada – Las Vegas held the annual National Finals Rodeo which is the main event or “the Big Show” for rodeo in the United States. You may not be all that into rodeo, but if you’re like me you tune in to the major…
Snow Day: Last Day of Vacation
Today is the last day of my vacation from my day job. I took an extra day off after the holiday to give me a day to recuperate from my vacation. It seems like a silly notion at first, but haven’t you ever returned from a vacation only to need some more time to relax…

Things From TV: Extreme Makeover Window Coverings
Now, I haven’t really watched too many of these home makeover shows – I think the last one I really watched much at all was “Trading Spaces” on TLC where the couples redecorated or renovated their neighbor’s or friend’s houses. However, these types of shows are always a blast. Just yesterday I kept thinking that…
New York’s Beautiful Houses
For some reason (maybe it’s because I live in the South), I never really equate New York with beautiful landscape and nice housing with big yards in my mind. Maybe it’s because most gritty crime dramas on television based in New York are in the city. Anyway, if you’re doing pretty well in business, you…
New Year’s Resolutions
I gave up trying to give New Year’s resolutions a few years ago, because I got tired of promises I couldn’t or wouldn’t keep. They were all for my own good, but I couldn’t bring myself to form better habits. It’s one of my biggest vices, not being able to change my habits easily. To…

If you’re someone who has delved into the fray of online matchmaking sites, you know there are a lot of different Personals opportunities to select from. You may even be currently using more than…
Update: Mom’s Doing OK After Gastric Bypass
I mentioned a week or so ago that my mom had gastric bypass surgery, sometimes called “lap band” surgery, where they put a band around your stomach to make it smaller, then close off the rest of your stomach and remove some of your intestine and reattach another portion to the smaller stomach. It means…
