This past Tuesday evening around 7:45pm, we received a sign.I believe in signs.Do you?This particular sign came in the form of a broken closet shelf, a busted hot water heater pipe, and a lot of wet items - including myself.

For those curious as to how the whole selling on eBay went: $97.25. Like I said, I don’t expect to get rich using eBay. It’s nice to know that we are now almost $100 closer to buying a bus. The Rolling Stones t-shirt didn’t sell at all, which really surprised me. I honestly expected it to go [...]

Our Trip to Jo Jo’s Java Wind Powered Coffeehouse

Lee — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 15:49:11 +0000

If you Google “wind powered coffee shop”, the first relevant result is a 2005 article about how Starbucks decided to offset their energy usage by buying wind power credits. But what about coffee shops that actually create their own wind power? What about coffee shops that are energy independent from the beginning instead of offsetting [...]

Want to know how hectic things around here have been and exactly how scatterbrained I’ve been lately? I finally got our Christmas tree up tonight. I do believe this is the longest I have ever waited to put up a tree. Funny thing is that I haven’t really missed it up until now. Some of [...]

Don’t sweat the small stuff, just take small steps every day.

Have you ever had the feeling that you have just bitten off a little more than you can chew? That all too familiar choking feeling has managed to creep up on me and the term overwhelmed would probably be sufficient enough to describe how I feel at the moment. I suppose it’s a natural thing [...]
