When I was young, my family unwisely moved from the Chicago suburbs to central California. Amongst the many adjustments we had to make was a loss of four food staples not available on the West Coast; Marshmallow Fluff, Coco Wheats, Cock Robin Ice Cream and Jays Potato Chips.
Fluff actually comes out of Massachusetts while [...]
My Dog Kitch: March 1995 - October 29, 2007 R.I.P.
0 Comments Published October 29th, 2007 in GeneralYeah, my dog died today. I wasn’t there since she lived with my Mom, me living in a no-pets apartment and all.
She was a very smart and friendly dog, kind of a Scooby-Doo type. Kitch seemed to comprehend a lot of english, you could tell her a great variety of things that she [...]
So I’m training for a new job that has me outside in the hot summer weather a lot. They suggested I bring a good supply of water. Last week I had a six-pack of my favorite water, Evian, and it really helped get me through two hot days.
Last night I remembered I didn’t [...]
Sorry if this posts rambles a bit. I had a major life event and wanted to get something written about it right away.
I ended a long-term job last night. I’d been there 9 and 2/3 years.

So when I moved I was able to keep my original phone number in my new apartment. I don’t know how convenient that is though, as it allows me to get the same calls from the same telemarketers.
In order to move the phone number, I was required to have a forty-five minute phone session [...]
I’ve recently had to deal with my storage rental unit. As a collector and all-around pack rat, I’ve maintained a storage space for over 15 years now. I’ve got some things I am happy to have saved, but sometimes a ready storage unit becomes a good reason not to sort through things, one [...]
The other toy I got has been much more satisfying, a purchase from Woot.com. It’s a Pioneer 1000 Watt 5.1 Surround System. It’s certainly not a state of the art system, but it’s better than my TV speakers and my first real experience with the realm of home Dolby Pro-Logic. The first surround movie I watched with it was X2, and it’s no surprise that it greatly enhanced my experience of the film….
