Merry Christmas all.  Just a couple of quick thoughts for the holiday weekend.
Thanks American Airlines for not charging for luggage on our flight out.  We really do appreciate it and wish you a Merry Christmas as well.
First, truly white Christmas this year was pretty cool.  We didn’t get a ton of snow here in Missouri, [...]

Usually, talk about snowstorms happening in the cities I live in are full of hyperbole and sensationalism.  Huge storms often turn into nothing, but this time the predictions were pretty much right on.  I think the final accumulation count came to right around 20 inches.
What I do know is that uncovering two cars from 20 inches [...]

You’re living under a rock if you don’t know about the big snowstorm we’re having along the mid-Atlantic coast and north. Cris and I have had a pretty nice day of lazying about, but we did for a brief walk earlier to soak it in. The cool thing for me is that this [...]

Last Friday my boss asked me to come to Chicago for work…Saturday.  Even though the timing wasn’t great because I have been traveling more than I typically like recently, the work opportunity was too good to pass up.  Since getting here I’ve realized a couple of things.
I’m so very over traveling right now.  I would [...]

This isn’t as good as my all time favorite Washington quote, but sometimes we get some good quality biting sarcasm from this city.  Even if I don’t like the person saying it or don’t necessarily agree with the sentiment being expressed, I have to give credit where credit is due when someone makes a great [...]

Obviously, I haven’t posted in a while. I’ve been really busy at work lately and haven’t had a ton of time to write for the blog. By the time I get home from work, I spend a couple of hours relaxing and eating and then I go to bed.
Despite my busy-ness, there are [...]

In case you were wondering how hardcore we are around where we live, these two videos should sufficiently fill you in.
First one is better, but they’re both pretty good.

The Asian seinor citizens that live upstairs from us.
I always thought I would have to deal with some knucklehead college aged or just out of college aged kid that parties all the time and plays loud music.  Nope, 75 year old asian folks that never seem to sleep, rearrange their furniture at least three times [...]

This chick got a degree in business administration in information technology and a minor in being delusional.
When I went to college, my diploma didn’t come with a guarantee on the pretty little folder that it came in.  Just because you get a degree doesn’t mean you’re going to get a job, in any economy.  Now [...]

Category: Random exchanges at work
Answer: You’re Snapple Fact weird
Question: What my co-worker says to me when I randomly say “Happy Birthday!” Frosty the Snowman style, and then note that its the first thing he says when he comes to life in the cartoon.
This sounds even more random than when it happened.  I’m really glad the [...]
