Go to the 2008 Beijing Olympics
I went to watch my daughter win a bronze medal

Well, I didn’t know she was going to win a bronze medal at the time. I went to watch her compete. It was definitely, definitely worth going. It’s actually the third time I went to watch the Olympics – once in Los Angeles, once in Athens and once in Beijing. It was awesome every time.

Publishing Wizard and Spy: The Ex-apprentices

The first book I had published was a novel, aimed at young adults (and immature older adults, like me). I wrote it in my spare time when I was bored in hotel rooms on business travel in the middle of nowhere. You can buy it on Amazon, CreateSpace or Smashwords.



Be grateful every day (read all 12 entries…)
Hurray! It's the winter solstice!

What’s to be grateful about that, you ask?

1. It is the shortest day of the year, which means every day from here on out there is more sunshine – woohoo!

2. I don’t live someone it is cold and snowy, unlike many of my friends.

3. That means no snow shoveling, no driving on ice, no scraping ice off my car and no freezing my ass.

4. It’s only a few more days until Christmas with midnight mass, a mountain of presents, the family here and Christmas dinner with turkey and all the trimmings.

5. I’m on vacation – woo hoo!
