Auf Wiedersehen, Herr Jetta

Back on June 12, Monica and I were smack dab in the middle of looking for a new house. We got up that morning, quickly ate breakfast, and took off to look at an attached home that just didn’t do it for us. As we mulled over that house, heading down the road [...]

Why are we rock stars?

Here’s a great quote from someone I never thought I’d quote.
From this article…which I found out about here.

WINNIPEG – In the eyes of Alice Cooper, all the rock stars campaigning for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry are guilty of one thing: treason. The shock-rock legend, a staunch Republican who attends NBA [...]

Nice Day For A Mow

I’m beginning to appreciate the joys of yard-work. Since moving into our new house, I’ve mowed the grass several times, and today I was finally able to weed-eat and edge. See, I tried to do that the day before, but my extension cord wasn’t long enough, and my weed-eater line was all used [...]

I Am Feeling Very Olympic

Wow, we’re actually doing pretty well over there in Athens. Not that we usually do bad in the Olympics, but Paul Hamm winning a gold medal in the men’s gymnastics all-around, the first in like….EVER…is really something.
I’m really enjoying the coverage. What I do is TiVo just about every second of [...]

The King is Dead

Twenty seven years ago today, the King of Rock ‘N’ Roll died. Take a few seconds today to bow your head, and remember Elvis Presley by listening to some Elvis tunes and viewing some Elvis photos.

I’m A Big Kid Now

I’m starting to enjoy being a homeowner, and that scares me. For some reason, I get great satisfaction out of fixing the little things that are messed up around the house. Whether it’s patching a little hole or running some cable down a wall, I feel good after doing it.
Ten years [...]

I Don’t Care If I Ever Come Back

We’re heading to a minor league baseball game tonight. I’ve been to a few Tides games in my life, but I haven’t been to one in quite a few years. Harbor Park is a really nice place to see a ball game…too bad Norfolk doesn’t stand a chance to get a major league [...]

Home Sweet Home?

It still hasn’t sunk in that we’re actually “home” now. I keep saying “back home” when I refer to our old place, but I guess it will only be a matter of time before home becomes where we are now.
And even though we’ve been in the new house for over a week, [...]

We’re Baaaaack

Yes, we’re finally back online. We’ve moved into the new digs and are smack dab in the middle of unpacking and getting settled. There’s nothing like living out of a suitcase for six weeks to make you appreciate having closets (although to be honest, we did have one closet to use). Thanks [...]
