• Loving me

    Cheryl is less than impressed when I find a drop of water on a clean spoon (fresh from the dishwasher) and dry it off on my shirt.

    I just put it on, doesn’t that count for something?


  • I miss it

    It never let us down. It took care of us. It took care of Cheryl when she needed to be protected. I hadn’t really thought about it much. I’ve had plenty of other things to think about (and do).

    Tonight I was playing around with the phone and ended up on a street view of our house on google, and there it was in our drive way, parked next to my little blue Civic: our old CR-V. We really don’t have the money, but we’re toying with the idea of trying to swing a deal on a Civic hybrid. Both of us have jobs that require a car, so we’ll need to get something.

    Me thinks a few things will have to fall into place first, but we did get one thing in the mail that was encouraging. We finally got a check from our insurance company for… you guessed it, the CR-V.


  • The card market

    Folks I talk to are researching what gift cards to buy like they’re buying stock.

    This year some of the more specialized retailers with plummeting revenues like The Gap and Circuit City are a definite SELL. However, Target (on the heels of relatively steady earnings) rates a tentative buy.
