Today I met with my web dude, Sean so we could head over to Carey Sound to discuss them doing sound for our joint music event coming up October 19 for Converge South. I was getting into my car and got covered by a spider web. I hate that feeling! I said, […]
We are in an old building, and apparently quite some decades ago we were once a hotel of ill repute. You could get a room for ten bucks, or a room and services for twenty, if you so desired. At least that’s the story I heard.
So one night I was sitting on a […]
As I get a little bit older I keep having to investigate all these different types of insurance. For the business, for the cars, for the liability, for life, for health, for maternity. And everyone seems to be selling insurance now. For everything.

I was sitting outside today watching the bubbles from Just Be pouring out and spilling into the sky. It was such a beautiful day and a clear blue sky and it just made me happy to be here on this corner.
I went and got a necklace from there with a beautiful quote from Mother Theresa […]
Okay, so, I belong to a few committees concerned with the progress of downtown. One of them I have been attending for 4 years is the Downtown Advisory Committee which is held by the city on the second Tuesday of every month. It is open to everyone.
We were both at the same meeting […]
