Time in a Bottle

When I graduated college and started working full time, it was a bit of a shock initially. You never realize how much free time you have until it is gone. I thought I was busy in college. I was double-majoring, carrying a full load of classes, running a radio station, […]

I Accept the Challenge

One of my friends from college (who blogs at the curiously named site Numb Trolley Bus) has issued a challenge to his readers. Sure I’ll give it a shot. I’ll put my new toy to the test, and let’s see if I can manage to blog every day in June, […]

The End Is Nigh

It has only taken seven months, but end of the sewer project in our backyard is in sight. We finally had three or four days in a row without rain so they could come out and lay our new sod. Our backyard is almost back to normal now. We are […]

Barbarians At The Gate

The sewer project continues with a grotesque scar of a road cut through the woods adjacent to our gate. In a matter of weeks, the fence will be disassembled, and our yard will cease to be recognizable. Denis St. John, Vice President of XL Contracting, stopped by the other day […]

And So It Begins…

With a single stake in the ground, the massive sewer project that I wrote about last year begins. Our local sewer district has hired XL Contracting to perform the work outlined in this ordinance. The trenching and tree-cutting has already begun in our subdivision, but they haven’t made it to […]

The Fiero Rides Again!

Since we moved, and I am no longer close enough to work to ride my scooter everyday, I have been in need of a fuel-efficient second vehicle. Luckily, I had just such a vehicle. It was time to pull my 1985 Pontiac Fiero out of mothballs. It has been parked […]

Working at the Bottom of the Sea

[I submitted this article to Damn Interesting in hopes of becoming a periodic writer for them.] Three hundred and fifty million years ago, the vast area between the Rocky Mountains and the Appalachians was covered by what we now call the Colorado Sea. The sea is thought to have extended […]

Vehicle Warranty Scam

After searching for the phone number that appeared on the postcard I received (1-800-376-7044), I discovered this site and this site. This scam has apparently been going on for a while. A company that sells auto warranties sends these postcards that are made to look official (despite the atrocious grammar) […]

A Decade Gone By

This month marks 10 years that I have had a presence on the Internet, and I’ve chosen to celebrate this milestone by revamping my site once again. I hope these changes make the site easier to navigate (and easier for me to update so that I’ll actually do it more […]

Magnetic Spice Rack

Sure, you could pay $200 for this trendy spice rack (as seen on Oprah), or you could make your own instead. Which is what we did. For about $40 in parts from Specialty Bottle and K&J Magnetics (you’ll want at least two magnets per tin, more for heavier spices), we […]

Honda Element

We are pretty pleased with our choice of a new car. We also test drove Chrysler’s PT Cruiser and the new Scion xB, but ultimately it was the great reviews, the standard options and Honda’s reputation that swayed our opinion. It’s funny because a year or so ago when I […]
