Store Brand
OK so the bottled water discussion has been the most popular discussion to date (even though it was pretty much just 4 people involved in the discussion, but they are 4 very opinionated people). I think that a natural spin off to this discussion would be the debate over “store brand” goods. You know the items that have a different label then the one you are accustomed to but cost between anywhere from 35 to 100% less. Read the rest of this entry »
Bottled Water and the silver spoon
I was raised on bottled water. Sparklettes Water to be exact. I am not quite sure when or how my Mom got roped into having bottled water delivered bi-weekly to our home but I’m sure it was long before it became fashionable. thus my addiction began.
Now bottled water is so common that to not have bottled water is considered weird. Read the rest of this entry »
What does citizenship mean to you?
Citizenship ought to be cherished, but for some reason Americans (myself included) have lost sight of how precious and valuable it is. Ironically this bizarre bit of news out of Canada shows how our neighbors up north seem to get this concept. Read the rest of this entry »
State of the Union
Tonight President Bush will be giving his state of the union address. Foxnews asks the question, “what issues do you want to hear the President address tonight?”
It’s almost impossible to get yourself published on their site, but it’s easy on mine 
So let me know; what would you like to hear the President say?
Idiot Environmentalist Strike Again
I do care about the environment I really do. I don’t like seeing animals go extinct, but I happen to believe that there are bigger problems in the world then animals dying. One of those problems, I think, is PEOPLE dying. Read the rest of this entry »
It hurts, it hurts
I have put off writing about this topic for the past 4 days. I had to. It was and is a very painful topic. In fact during the past 4 days I have immediately hushed anyone who has even brought up the subject. I have not listened to sports talk radio, I have not watched any ESPN and I have read only 3 articles on the subject. But I must give you, my faithful readers what i know you want, so here it is, enjoy my misery. Read the rest of this entry »
Tony Gwynn and 5 Writers
Major League Baseball announced (to no ones surprise) that Cal Ripken Jr and Tony Gwynn would be inducted into the Hall of Fame on July 29th in Cooperstown New York. Out of 545 votes Ripken received 537 and Gwynn received 532. This is a problem. Though both of those are among the top ten percentages of anyone ever to be elected into the HOF it seems to me that the five individuals who voted for Ripken and NOT for Gwynn ought to have their votes removed. Let me explain why. Read the rest of this entry »
Engagment Competition
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a very competitive individual. That competitive nature raised it’s head when I began to consider the best way to propose to Athena. I had heard many stories of terrifically romantic proposals; hot air balloons, carriage rides, standing in the parking lot of Mega Foods, and so on. Read the rest of this entry »
The 2006 rearview mirror: Lots of changes
When I look back on 2006 the biggest thing that stands out to me was getting married. September 23rd, will stand out more than anything else, but there was a whole lot more that took place. For anyone interested this is what my 2006 calender looked like… Read the rest of this entry »
