I have my wonderful dream dog, and she’s everything and more I thought she would be. At 8 weeks, Eleanor Marguerite Hyacinth Crecendo Rigby came into my life as a bundle of love and energy. she is now 10 months old, and has become quite the young lady. It’s been a lot of work, and sometimes quite frustrating, but overall, extremely rewarding and she is a loyal and faithful friend. Ellie is

I came across this excellent article today and It made sense to me. It seems to me that if we are to relate better to each other, both in our business and personal relationships we need to look at how we present ourselves.

This is a test on how I can 'blog from abroad'. I can now blog from anywhere I have cell coverage! Cool

It’s been over two months now for me since I've given up caffeine, and I feel great. I gave it up because of many reasons, one of which was the way it made me feel; racing heart, nervous, and it made me feel so dependent on it. Because I was.Without the caffeine, I really feel my health is better, my concentration is more…well…concentrated, and I’m not ricocheting off the walls anymore. :)I

of having cable and/or DSL for high speed, and then the last three years of having nothing but dial-up with an accelerator, the long awaited day finally arrived. Today! I now have a wonderful high speed connection at 1.5Mbps down and 700Mbps upload. It is an incredible feeling being out here in the middle of the country and having high speed! It brings the feeling of being in a remote area, but

Finally…A long overdue update on where I’m at:Exterior: My siding is completely finished. I had quite a time with it; the company I hired was professional enough – seemed to be doing a great job – until the vertical got too high. First point: My house front isn’t really that high. From the ground in the front, it’s 33 feet to the tip of the peak. I’ve seen higher. Granted, the prow is kind of

I Ran My First 5K Today!What a day. This morning was cool, sunny and still. Perfect for a run. I was up at 6:00am and took a long, hot shower to loosen up. I then ate a light breakfast of oranges/bananas, and some peanut butter, washing it all down with water. At seven, I arrived at the home of my best friend Dave, who was to run the 10K, and together went to exhibition grounds where the race was

After spending much of the day working on my house, putting pot-lights in the ceiling, getting ready for insulation, my son and I headed into the city to spend some quality time together at a place called Vertically Inclined. It's an indoor rock climbing place and very cool. We had a great time together, and went out for pizza aftwards. Pretty cool stuff. My forearms are pretty sore from hanging

To my horror, as I watch the news tonight, I see that the City of New Orleans has been ordered evacuated as the enslaught of Hurricane Katrina, a very rare Category 5 storm is set to slam into the gulf coast, with N.O. bearing the brunt.Foremost in my mind right now is the obvious sense of displacement, uncertainty and fear that must be going through so many people's minds right now. Men, women

but counting towards it. I’ve introduced 43Things to my Blogging experience because I find it has helped me focus on specific things I want to do. Speaking of focus, my time has been highly focused on building and completing my house – a three year project. One word of advice – I would not recommend living in your house before its competed – it does not really promote a restful atmosphere. One

I have no real expectations for this blog; In fact I've never really entertained the idea of blogging before. It feels a little strange, awkward, and in an odd way, even a little liberating. I'm hardly so full of myself as to imagine there will be a lot people reading this blog. That's not why I'm doing it anyway. Albeit making some friends would be cool, this is largely so I can systematically (
