I visited Chicago, Milwaukee, and Minneapolis this month, so I can check off four more stadiums (White Sox – US Cellular Field, Cubs – Wrigley Field, Brewers – Miller Park, Twins – Metrodome). Of course, next year I’ll have to add the new Target Field to my list. I was hoping to hit some more of the scattered stadiums (Denver, Kansas City, and Phoenix) next month but it isn’t going to happen, so I’ll take a weekend trip to Cincinnati instead and see some of the minor league teams in KY and eastern TN.

How I did it: At one movie a day, it will take approximately 3 years to see 1000 movies. I'm not a big fan of television shows, so instead of paying a lot for cable service I'd never use, I'm a member of Netflix. I usually work on the computer, eat dinner, or work on projects while watching movies. I watch about 10 movies a week through Netflix and Netflix's instant viewing. I've seen a lot of bad movies, and most of the greats. I recently passed the … Read how I did it…
How I did it: Determine if you want a day tour or a night tour. Each tour has its benefits. The night tours provide some extras that you wouldn't see on a day tour. Pick a day to go. If you're visiting in the summer, you will probably need to plan this before you head to San Francisco. Buy your tickets ahead of time. Especially if you travel on a holiday, times and entire days can sell out. The night tour frequently sells out. Bring your camera … Read how I did it…
How I did it: Start with a plan. You need to know exactly what you want to buy and where you want to buy it. You can find this information out by buying a paper on Thanksgiving. All the sale ads will tell you their "doorbuster" deals and opening times on Black Friday. Some advertisements tell you how many of each item will be available (especially for extremely limited items). Make a list for each store with the items you want to buy and their price. N… Read how I did it…

I go yearly. I have my tickets already and I’ve been keeping an eye on the guest list. There are going to be some great names there this year!
I’m a teacher and I ran into one of my past students. She’s a model now – it seems like she’s fairly successful in a local/minor kind of way. I’d love to use her as a model for a photo shoot… but I’m not sure she’d be game. Not that she’s anywhere near this famous, but it would be like asking a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model if she would model for me. Perhaps she’d be game?
