Monday Night Football Observations
I’m not a fan of anything exhibition. If it doesn’t count, why bother? Last night I made an exception and watched a little preseason football. There’s another fantasy football draft coming up. I wanted to see how Carson Palmer looked and was curious about the Packers too. After watching the game, my reation to the two: “Wow!” and “Yuck!”...August 28, 2006
My Fantastic Weekend
Wow! I had quite a weekend. Let me tell you about it. Friday: It was a hard work week so I treated myself to a late matinee of Beerfest. Very funny. After the movie I met up with the gang at the Palemino for a couple of beers. Over drinks, Bryan was convinced to put his Mr. Risk title...August 23, 2006
My Summer at the Movies
I love going to the movies. I especially love going in the summer. This summer, I haven’t been able to take as many trips to the multiplex as I would’ve liked to. I still want to see Miami Vice, Little Miss Sunshine, A Scanner Darkly, Monster House and a few others that looked good. From what I did see,...August 23, 2006 12:33 PM | 3 Comments
Two Amusing Stories
Sorry folks. It’s been busy at work, so I haven’t posted much lately. I have a couple of stories for you though. Story #1 - I kid around with the telemarketers when they call me at my office. One of my favorite bits is to interrupt the caller midway through their scripted introduction. I tell them that I will only...August 8, 2006
Lollapalooza 2006
Lollapalooza 2006 was a fantastic weekend. Dan, Jeff and I had a blast. We met up with Jason for a few shows. The music was great, the festival was well run and drinks were plentiful. We whooped it up real good. My highlights from the weekend: Mix Master Mike - easily the most fun set of the weekend Flaming Lips...August 3, 2006
Picnic for Jake 2006
We’re doing another picnic for my nephew Jacob Beckman this year. For those who may not remember, Jake was diagnosed with Autism two years ago. His parents are being proactive and doing everything within their power to help him. He’s been attending a school called the Chicago Education Project. I’ve been there a couple of times and it is...August 3, 2006 3:18 PM | 1 Comments
Can't Buy Me Love
While money can’t buy me love, money can buy me ice cream…and who don’t like ice cream?!! My nieces, Kaley and Larissa love ice cream. On a visit with my sister’s family last weekend, I suggested a trip to Baskin-Robbins. Who would’ve thought that this suggestion and an offer to treat would have made me such a popular figure? It...August 2, 2006
Season's End
The Atlas Mortgage Company Softball team played heroically all season long. We won some, lost some and drank beer after games. At season’s end, the team can walk away knowing that they gave it their all. Congratulations on a great season, guys!...Mothly Archives
