Is it just me or does everyone else get really nervous when you see someone driving and they’re not looking at the road but they’re looking at the passenger they are talking to? Lately while watching TV or movies whenever there’s a car scene I just want to yell at the actor behind the wheel [...]

Remember that commercial for V-8 tomato juice where people knock themselves in the head and exclaimed I could’ve had a V8? Well I kind of feel that way about my purchase last December of a Palm TX. I’ve been using a PDA for several years and decided to upgrade my Palm M515 by purchasing the [...]

We dine out a lot and thus we get to know a lot of restaurant staff. We usually end up striking up a conversation with them. We have talked about any and everything under the sun. Lately it seems like we talk about what they’re studying in school and what they want to do upon [...]

It’s been four years since I started blogging and now I’m finding Twitter is getting me more followers than blogging ever did. I’m not going to give up blogging, but this Twitter thing is a whole world of its own. Karl Rove and Mitt Romney are now following me on Twitter and I couldn’t be [...]
