Dear NJ Driver, It would appear as though you are in complete and utter denial of the fact that, when talking on a cell phone, you are unable to pay adequate attention to the task at hand which deserves the higher priority: driving. I will tell you that whether you are a mother, an executive,…

So I never thought I’d say this, but school has been kinda fun so far. It’s also been kinda surreal in a way. At the end of the day, I think the best lesson I’ve learned is that, in order to conquer some of my anxieties toward school, I really need to just forget all…

I’m just barely old enough to just barely remember when Minnesota Fats, Steve Mizerak, and Mike Massey did something on TV other than trick shots. They played real pool. They played whatever anyone wanted to play, but mainly, on TV, they played straight pool. They wore tuxedos. They playesd in rather large rooms. They had…

Today I conquered a major source of anxiety, fulfilled a wish of mine and Natasha’s since we purchased the house, and followed up on a dream I’ve had for many years now. It was quite productive. First, the major source of anxiety: I’m back in college now, and one of the classes I’m taking is…

In the department I work in, we try really hard to come up with enough events every week to keep everybody fed. Certainly, we can’t all go to every event, because nothing would ever get done. But we can all meet for 10-15 minutes in the common area to grab some cider and donuts, cookies,…

Tweeter is a major high(er) end audio retailer. I wasn’t really aware of this when I walked into the place a couple of weeks ago to look at something in the way of what I hope will become a home stereo system. I spent over three hours in there, learning about all of the available…

I have a good number of things to keep me busy. First of all, my favorite hobby also happens to be my job, which keeps me plenty busy. I work in computer systems and network administration. It’s kind of addictive, really. If you’re someone who will sit down and read about different ways to solve…

As promised, I’ve put together some pics of the trials of laying a hardwood floor on your own. If you just wanna see a couple of quick pics of where I’m at now, just scroll down past the pictures of the atrocities I’ve faced, and the good pics are toward the bottom. Here’s the link….
