Anyway

Well it looks like the people got their moneys worth, the $170,000,000 inauguration was certainly a historic event not just for America, but the entire world. While Obama's speech offered hope and promise for the future, the market (particularly financials) has been devastated. Here is a taste of what is going on today.As the Dow has struggled to keep its head above 8,000...Bank of America will re

Way back in the dark ages, the great minds were convinced that you caught cold by being cold. We still have a few people out there who believe that (see: Mothers-in-law).

Cats….who needs them anyway! That’s what I thought until I rescued Scratch from my local animal shelter. He turned out to be one of the best pets I’ve ever had. And this is coming from a dog guy! Scratch has been a faithful companion to my little girl, Laura, and me throughout the years. We’ve enjoyed him so much that we decided to rescue another cat, Snowy, from the same animal shelter.

Last Friday I was quite remiss in my promise to post a blog highlighting some of the great writers I have come across in the greater blogosphere. In honor of all the eating that I hope everyone did yesterday I wanted to highligh a couple of great cooking / recipe blogs that I frequent. Maybe these would have given you some more food ideas for Thanksgiving, but honestly, didn't you eat enough as it

The weather has been really nice lately compared to last week. It’s been sunny 70’s all week. I’ve been inside a lot, mostly reading, but I decided yesterday that I wanted to spend some more time outside. So I grabbed my book and made my way over to the hammock at the Freiburger building. I [...]

Here's a sight we, as Manchester United fans, don't want to see. Dimitar Berbatov limping off the field clutching the back of his leg. This happened last night in Bulgaria's game with Serbia where they got thrashed 6-1. Savo Milosevic missed two penalties in the 5th and 15th minutes and also scored in the 29th and 34th minutes. He could have had 4 in the first half hour but oh well, he didn't.

Outrage is probably the best word. My first reaction at least. And then I just HAD to laugh. “It’s a joke right?” Unfortunately, the new Motrin ad attacking babywearing is real.

Around noon today I texted Kat a short little "I love you and hope you are having a better day than you thought it might be" text.

She texted back later that afternoon that it was pretty good.WHEW!I didn't get to see her after school as sh

The advice that is often given is to sell a structured settlement as a last resort.  But that is not always good advice, because some people know how to invest their money in a way that would exceed the long term value of the monthly payments.  The fact is that many structured settlements are established for the benefit of the insurance company and they are simply the best deals that could be

I planned to salute Bernie Mac today, but Sir Fabulous and I spent the wee hours of the morning joy r

Three years ago I disappeared off the radar. The socialization radar that is. I cancelled all my cable TV services, threw away the TV and life gradually began to unfold.

I track the term "decision making". Like most terms the more yo think about it, the more you realize that it is used rather loosely.

I have decided to marry Adele. I have decided to walk through the doorway. I have dec
