"A Time for Choosing" by Ronald Reagan

What has happened to leadership and belief in America? This speech means as much today, maybe more, as it did in 1964. Take a few minutes and give it a listen.

Check out this great MSN video: How to Dig Your Car Out Of Snow

Tim,

I found this very helpful video just in case Phil Heil's Facebook suggestion of drinking a lot of beer and then peeing on it doesn't work out for you when trying to get your car out of the snow:

Check out this great MSN video: How to Dig Your Car Out Of Snow


If you don't have access to any little girls in Chicago (and I hope to God you don't) to push you out maybe you could buy a couple of homeless guys a beer and get them to push.  Funny how beer seems to be a very useful tool when it comes to digging your car out of snow but it is never mentioned in the video.   At any rate good luck digging yourself out although I'm sure with the extremely helpful tips provided in this video you won't have to rely on luck (except for finding the homeless guys). Your always helpful brother......

Urban Myth debunked...

Urban Myth: If you feed fish too much food they will explode.
Debunked: I've been feeding these damn fish for over an hour and look at them, they're fine!

20 Inches of snow & potato salad

After 24 hours stuck in a hotel room with 20 inches of blowing, drifting snow shutting down the Second City outside my window, I needed to get out. So I took my lap top down to the lobby of the Residence Inn and decided to work there for an hour or two just for the change of scenery.

With a hotel full of stranded travellers, the staff decided to put out lunch which was very thoughtful. It wasn't much, hot dogs with peppers and onions, chips, soft drinks - relatively picked over by time I got there.

The lobby TV was playing Cartoon Network while two little kids, looked to be 1st or 2nd graders, were just wandering around, no parents in sight. Although I had remote access to the company I'm here to work with my focus quickly became somewhat spotty and deteriorating by the second. Finally, I had a bit of a gag when I realized the two boys were eating a large bowl of potato salad with their hands!

After watching for a few minutes, I closed my laptop, forced back the vomit I felt bubbling up my throat and retreated back to my boring room.

Feed the Fish

I spent the last 10 minutes playing that damned "Feed the Fish" game. So whoever put it up is a jerk.

Also, I feel like I'm going to have to proofread these posts just to avoid the wrath of Aunt Tricia. In fact, I feel like half of her posts are going to involve correcting someone else's grammar (especially mine, since I've called her out).

And finally, the whole purpose of this post was to test if I was, in fact, able to post from my Google username.

Thanks,
BPL
