I don’t know about other people, but I hate shoe shopping. Local stores don’t have my size (15!) so I have to do everything online. Picking the right shoe size used to be difficult until I began buying New Balance shoes a few years ago. When I was a kid, my mom would always have […]

I hate being sick. Every winter like clockwork I seem to get sick. This time, I believe I have the flu and I blame my dad for it. He came down with it and passed it on to me like Typhoid Mary. Coincidentally, my mom got her flu shot two weeks ago so her immune […]

After hurting my back a few weeks ago, I decided to return to the gym and see how things would go. It turned out to be one of the hottest days thus far this summer. Even though the gym has air conditioning, the owner doesn’t seem to have it turned up very high… or low, […]

The last couple of days has been miserable. It’s been unseasonably warm for May. It’s been 93 degrees most of the afternoon and I’m absolutely tired of it. It sucks the life right out of you. The rest of the week is going to be anywhere from 79 degrees to 88 degrees. It’s somewhat of […]

The job market’s rough. There are a lot of people out of work and a lot of competition for every opening out there. I’ve had four job interviews and I’d have to say the last was the worst. Well, it wasn’t really the interview that went poorly, it was something that happened at the end. […]

Here are the pictures I promised the other day: The young man is explaining some design ideas for a ride to a man was told is a new employee, when in fact he’s actually the company’s CEO. In this instance, the CEO is Joel Manby, President and CEO of Herschend Family Entertainment. I believe this […]

I watched a little bit of tonight’s new episode of the reality series Undercover Boss on CBS and was shocked by what I saw. One of the employees of an amusement park showed another employee some ideas he had for a ride and he didn’t pull out a sheet of paper and pen. He pulled […]

A week has passed since my sale of DVDs and I’m glad to see each and every one of them has sold. I had 17 auctions and I look to bring in a little over $400 from them all. I could use the money right now. Now I just need to get the winners to […]

Kudos to eBay for lowering listing prices lately. They’ve had 3-4 sales in the last two months and it really helps. I find myself more likely to list something if I can do either for free or for a reduced price. eBay still gets you when something sells, of course, but every penny I can […]

It was nice to have some time away from writing for IGN. It’s always good to get together with family around Christmas. Now I’m fighting off a little cold which I came down with a few days ago. I don’t get sick very often. I’m usually pretty good about eating a lot of nutritious foods, […]
