ITunes TV Shows
I’ve really dig iTunes TV Shows store. Every so often I’ll order up something in the office while I’m eating lunch at my desk. If you’re not familiar, they occasionally offer some freebies, but usually cost $1.99 each. Pretty reasonable. I’ve noticed that iTunes is currently offering the entire season of Comedy Central’s Stella series. I’ve you missed them,...NFL Draft
I’ve had a few breaks today from watching over my booth while the conventioneers conduct their business. They give out complimentary newspapers, so I perused USA Today’s preview of the NFL Draft. After reading about all of the highly touted prospects, I decided to root for the Packers to draft A.J. Hawk. If there’s a guy whose name sounds...Hanging in Madison with my Dad
I’m spending the weekend with my Dad at yet another one of his conventions. This one is in Madison. We’re staying at a Radisson on the west side of the city, Madison’s Brookfield. On the plus side, the hotel has free internet connection. Tonight we went to Fitchburg’s Star Cinema. It’s probably the nicest multiplex I’ve ever been to. At...April 26, 2006

Watching TV
West Wing - Does it really have to end? I’d given up on the show after Sorkin left. Since this is the show’s final season, I decided to tune back in for the last few episodes. To my surprise, the show’s pretty good again. How great was this week’s opening with Sam and Josh?! Not to mention the Santos/Bartlett...April 23, 2006

So Good That I Had To Share
A few minutes ago a woman walked into my office carrying a collection of handmade necklaces. She told me that she was from the Philippines and was selling the jewelry for some organization in her country. Before she started in on her sales pitch, she told me that I looked like Vin Diesel. To which I replied, “Yes, I...April 19, 2006 1:25 PM | 1 Comments
0-1
Favorites to win the Wilson Park Tuesday night rec league championship, the Atlas Mortgage team suffered a loss in its first game of the season. Even though we walked away a few runs short of victory, it’s better to look good than to feel good, and we looked marvelous....April 19, 2006 9:45 AM | 2 Comments
I just need to say something before my head explodes.
I paid over $50 to fill up at the gas station this morning. That was at $2.99 a gallon. As I got closer to my office, another station was at $3.09. WTF!!!...April 14, 2006

Life Lesson
Sometimes you have to do things that you don’t want to do. For me, it’s paying taxes. Being a world class procrastinator, I waited until this afternoon to meet with my tax guy. I have to pay this year, and I’m not too happy about it. For my niece, it’s that you have to eat lunch before you can have...April 7, 2006
