Paul Revere would be proud

March 21, 2009

So I recently became kind of a beer connoisseur, it all started when I decided that brewing beer might be something that I enjoy. So, long story short, I’ve been doing a lot of reading about beer, and the more I read, the more I can come to appreciate it.

So in my journey down through the wonderful world of beer, I tried Liberty Ale from Anchor Brewing. What a great beer! Just enough hops to keep it really crisp, it’s very refreshing and delicious.

Maybe in the future I can add more constructive comments, but for now, let me just say that it’s really really good. With the hot summer months coming up, I can see getting more  of it.

Smiling in the same language

March 13, 2009

Zane was in a School Performance last night titled, “Everyone Smiles in the same language”.

It was very good, with the kids doing different songs or dances from different parts of the world.

When we were leaving, I reminded the kids to watch out for cars, because “Everyone gets hit by a car in the same language”.

Here and There

March 12, 2009

I can’t believe that a scantily clad nurse has been on the front page of my blog for so long. Wow. I just had to post something else.

As you probably know, I’ve been spending most of my time over at Two Guys Tech, and even over there, I haven’t been posting.

So, what’s going on you ask? Well, the Pinewood Derby is coming up before too long, so I think that Zane and I will start working on our cars here pretty soon. I’ve also had a few other hobbies on my mind, and I may or may not give those a try soon.

More later.

The Restaurant at the end of the Universe(-al Medical Coverage)

January 20, 2009

Thanks to BobbiDigital on Twitter for this video. This restaurant is crazy. I would like to eat there, just once though.

Watch CBS Videos Online

Some of my Favorites from the video:

“The American Medical Association doesn’t recognize me”

“Good old fashioned healthy Lard”

“Only try this under scantily clad medical supervision”

Getting Ready for 2009

January 4, 2009

Today I did something that I haven’t done in a quite awhile, I cleaned out my planner.

I always have such trouble keeping my planner in a condition which allows me to close the zipper. Most of the time it’s just bursting at the seams. Well not today.

My wife was kind enough to get me a Franklin Covey refill for my birthday, and it instructed me to put 2 months worth of the planning pages in it. Well that wasn’t going to happen in the condition the planner was in at the time. So a cleaning out was in order.

What goes? Well, old pictures of the kids, I have new ones now, coupons that have expired, membership cards to places that either I don’t go to, or that aren’t in business any more. Also, old receipts, old calendar pages, notes for things that have passed, and goals that I haven’t achieved.

Wait a second? Goals that I haven’t achieved?

Well, looking back a year, it seems that I went through my planner then as well, although you wouldn’t be able to tell if you saw how much stuff I tossed.

At that time, I noticed there were a lot of things that I had never finished. Well, this year is no different.

I will have to say that this year, I’ve really done well at keeping the important things in mind. My family and kids have been in the front of my mind.

Also, Art and I started a podcast over at Two Guys Tech, and that’s going really well, with 37 shows under our belt, we have somewhere around 75 regular listeners. If you haven’t checked it out, check out the feed.

So, back to those goals that I was talking about. You know, the ones I never achieved. Well, they get moved to this year’s goals. If I looked at them, and they are still pertinent, then it would be a shame to stop pursuing them just because they proved to be hard.

I hope you’re willing to do the same.

Here’s wishing you a terrific 2009!

Much good work is lost for the lack of a little more.
