I can’t wait to hear from our AC guy. We’re waiting for a call back to set up an appointment for our “free” estimate. How big of them. Our air conditioner is blowing warm air. It’s 07/and we’re right smack in the middle of the northern hemisphere, so this is not a good thing. Since we would really rather it blow cold air this time of year, it’s pretty much…
We just broke down. I don’t know if it was any one thing. Somewhere along the line we just started seeing less and less of each other. There were always excuses… car repairs, appliance replacement, new cars, and vacations. Sure, it wasn’t just the big things. There were everyday things that kept us apart too. Day care, utility bills, insurance, high speed internet access…
It was the night before Monday and all through my mind, no pleasant thoughts were stirring, and definitely no joy. The day before we had returned from our vacation in the Georgia mountains. The day had gone by in a fog. Somewhere out there was the fading glow of our vacation, but you could not quite see it. Somewhere else out there was the deepening gloom of Monday, but I had my back to it so I…
Yes, there was more to the trip than practicing methods of torture on myself, but good news is a lot less entertaining than bad news – just ask your local news director. Never one to worry about readership, I press on. We made it to our cabin on Tuesday night. As I’ve noted before, that first night was pretty cool; literally and figuratively. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday were not so…
Have you ever used one of those peeling thingies to peel a potato? If you have no idea what I’m talking about, then this entry will hold little interest for you. Even if you have it’s probably touch and go. Anyway, imagine what happens to the peel when you use the peeling thingie on a potato. It works so well because it is open on top to allow the peeled substance to drop away. This is…
We have successfully completed the first leg of our summer vacation; a five hour drive to Tifton, GA. We’re staying in “everyone’s second home”, the Tifton Holiday Inn. Right off the bat the hotel exceeded my expectations – free local calls! With my iBook handy, I am ready, willing, and able to milk that deal for all it’s worth. Beth and Mem-May (sorry kids…
Does anything say “man on board” quite like “four wheel drive”? How about “large four wheel drive”? And how about that Ford Expedition, the largest consumer vehicle this side of a Hummer? What self respecting, red blooded american drives around in something that gets more that twelve miles to the gallon? Did you ever think to yourself, “that guy might as…
It is right smack in the middle of my work day. In the last few minutes my mind has been wandering away from my desk, destined for realms far away. Shaking my head, I determined that I needed an infusion of good old fashioned, man-made stimulant. I tuned to my bag for a Walgreens “Stay Awake” tablet (who needs coffee when you can have two cups worth of caffeine in a single dose?), when…
