Catching Up at Lunch

Dec

6

2007

Today I got a surprise invitation to lunch with an old friend. It was nice to just “shoot the breeze” for a while at Subway and forget about all the things that have been causing me worry over the last few weeks. Worry is a funny thing. And I don’t mean funny, “ha ha.” The ...

I’m Still Here

Nov

2007

I just realized that my last post here was over two weeks ago. In reality, it seems like it’s been a lot longer than two weeks to me. We’ve been quite busy at work with a number of different projects. Our most recent release is SchoolMapSales.com, a site dedicated to selling maps and other mapping products ...

Goodbye Shadow 1

Nov

2007

I just found out only a few hours ago that our family dog, Shadow, had to be put to sleep. It’s amazing how much a pet can truly become a member of your family. A pet is always there for you, no matter what, and it’s amazing how they can seem to sense when you’re ...

The Office Convention

Nov

2007

Two weekends ago we traveled to Scranton, PA with Danielle’s Aunt and her cousin to attend the first annual The Office Convention. We had a blast, even though it rained most of Friday evening into Saturday afternoon. We were able to meet 3 of the characters (Jan, Kelly, and Phyllis) and get some autographs and ...

Global Warming

Oct

2007

After watching a special with Anderson Cooper on Nancy Grace’s show last night, I thought I’d write down some of my thoughts on global warming. Nancy Grace drives me nuts, by the way. I’m not completely sure why, but I just thought I’d throw that out there. Apparently Anderson recently spent time working on a ...

Inspired by Dennis 1

2007

I was reading my friend Dennis’ latest post on his Perfect Song Blog about conquering writer’s block. It inspired me to actually sit down and do some writing on here. So, what have I been up to? Well…let’s see. There’s work, which is just as busy as ever, but that’s a good thing, if not ...

Ain’t No Party Like a Scranton Party

Oct

2007

If all goes according to plan, we’ll be spending the weekend of the 26th of October in Scranton, PA at the first ever Office Convention. It doesn’t seem quite as nerdy to me as going to a Star Trek convention, but I guess it’s pretty close.

Acting White

Sep

20

2007

I’m just curious why it’s alright for Jesse Jackson to criticize Barrack Obama’s response to the student beatings in Jena by saying that Obama is, “acting like he’s white.” Imagine the shoe being on the other foot and some outspoken, conservative, white person (insert your favorite conservative political pundit here) said that a leading Republican ...

Political Hypocrisy 3

Sep

2007

The resignation of Senator Craig this past weekend got me thinking about political hypocrisy and how rampant it is in America.Now, I don’t condone what Senator Craig allegedly did in any way, shape, or form, but I do find it interesting that he had to pay such a high price for his actions. It wasn’t ...

Sportsmanship on Display

Aug

2007

I just finished watching the 2007 Little League World Series championship game between Warner Robins, GA and Tokyo, Japan. At the end of the game the players proved that sportsmanship hasn’t died.The game itself was close and ended up going in to extra innings before Warner Robins finished the game with a walk off home ...
