#1 agent followup
You might remember I made a post a few months ago about a local real estate agent whose billboard proclaimed her “#1 agent in Cincinnati for 13 years”. It took 8 months but she found me and made a comment. I was glad to see that she took my comments in the spirit in which…

2009 Staycation, Part 4
Part 4 of the Great 2009 Staycation (Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3). Sorry for the delay in getting this up, but I have finally gotten around to it. So, Tuesday, we originally were going to head downtown, but for various reasons, it didn’t work out great. So instead we just took kind of…

2009 Staycation, Part 3
Part 3 of the great 2009 Staycation! (Part 1 and Part 2) Saturday and Sunday we hung out at my parents house. For some reason we didn’t really take any pictures, so…. sorry!

2009 Staycation, Part 2
Continuing my staycation report (Part 1). Thursday was a relax day. Well, it was supposed to be relaxing in that we didn’t really go anywhere. But it wasn’t so much relaxing since we had tons of shopping, cleaning, packing and preparing for our weekend trip up to Cleveland! Friday we got up early (well normal…

Within the past few weeks, Carolyn and I were talking about our kids (of course). And Carolyn was mentioning how you can’t treat kids as “little adults”. Meaning, that you think that you can…

Conference talk – The way of the disciple
So continuing on my series of General Conference talks – this week it was by Dieter F. Uchtdorf, called “The way of the Disciple“. A few quotes. It is not enough merely to speak of Jesus Christ or proclaim that we are His disciples. It is not enough to surround ourselves with symbols of our…

$100 in coins!!!!!!
So as many of you are undoubtedly aware, for the past year or so (okay, okay, it’s been exactly 380 days according to my nerdy detailed spreadsheet), I have been trying to find $100 in coins. Well, actually it started out being just coins but I expanded it to just any found money. I went…

Outhustled to 6 cents by an 80 year old man
Yup, I was outhustled yesterday afternoon. I had stopped to get some gas, and after filling up, I did my normal jaunt around the pumps, checking for coins. I went one way, and then I was coming back to my car when I spotted a nickel and a penny on the ground. But so too…

Fathers Day 2009
So I thought I would share some things I got for Fathers Day. Of course not the big chocolate candy bars that I got at church – I’m not sharing those! Well, actually come to think of it I did share them with Carolyn. But they’re gone now. Anyways…. A few comments. The first one…
