Life Decisions
In case anyone was wondering, I decided not to buy the truck.
In other news, a good friend of mine just told me that he and his wife of five years got divorced. I was a little shocked… I hadn’t talked to either of them in about six months, and hadn’t seen them in about [...]
Decisions Decisions…
For the past few weeks I’ve been thinking of buying a new truck – specifically a 2005 Chevy Avalanche. With all the incentives (employee discount, cash rebate, etc) right now, you can’t beat the price. It’s a $34,000 truck that they’re willing to sell for $25,600, plus give me $4000 for my current [...]
A Visit With the Stone Presidents
I’ve been in Rapid City, South Dakota for the past week and the other day, I took a break from the grueling work load (which I’ll save for a rant another day) I’ve had here to go visit Mount Rushmore. I remember that my parents took me to Mount Rushmore once when I was [...]

WHAT THE [...]
The Plane Nazi

Yesterday on my flight from Denver to South Dakota, I encountered The Plane Nazi, a Flight Attendant that was going a little over the top. That, or she was a control freak, not sure which.
She definitely had the safety briefing memorized, that’s for [...]
The Final Revenge
Leave it to current employer to screw up my last official business trip before I start my new job. Obviously the travel arrangers either hate me, or are pissed I’m not working on the road much anymore.
For my last trip, I’m headed to Mount Rushmore Rapid City, South Dakota… in order to [...]
Scenes from an Auburn Game: The Comeback
Yesterday I went to see the Auburn Tigers play Ball State University High School for Wayward Girls, and we beat up on them with a final score of 63 to 3. It’s fun to watch those kinds of games, where the Auburn offense can score without even trying.
As it was quite the interesting day, [...]
