Today was a pretty ordinary day. I worked in my home office all day and was pretty productive. Of course I spent a fair amount of time on the phone, but it was after work that my day really became something special. Why? Well, because I went to the dump! As bizarre as that sounds, let me elaborate. If you recall, the furniture man stole
We don’t get too carried away on Valentines day at our house. Our point of view (mostly from my wife) is that it doesn’t take one day per year to express our love to each other, rather it’s better to spend 365 days per year doing that.

I was going to try to say something smart tonight but I realized that I let my company suck all the words out of me today. I guess I’ll just sit here and seek out other’s words. On a separate note, I did get another raise. (Second one in 2 months). Last time was a 10% raise. This time it’s another 5%, although it may
Maybe you know this, or maybe you don’t. Giving money to someone that needs it more than you do is TOP NOTCH. Now, I give money to my church (that I don’t attend very often) every month.
