How’d I forget to do this? Cycling: Last year pedaled the bike right around 1,750 miles. I’m not sure of the exact mileage – I checked the other day in preparation for this entry but forgot the total. And it doesn’t matter. The goal was 3000 miles and I fell far short regardless of what [...]

Janelle, from Junk Food 4 The Soul, has awarded me a Great Buddy Award. She’s the middle one in the photo below; I’m the tall one next to her.

The company I work for was sold a few years back. The Brits, who were super nice people, sold us to an incredibly intelligent, good-looking group of Americans. This post, however, is not about sucking up. This post is about my retirement accounts. I seem to have three. And I know this because I get [...]

The conversation went like this: Game Store Sales Guy (who was pleasant and professional throughout): Would you like to trade the games in for store credit or cash? Lady (who was brusque throughout): I’d like cash. Sales Guy: If you take store credit you’ll get 20% more since … Lady: No, just cash. He can [...]
