Yesterday was the Southern Arizona Area Math Counts competition. Previously, I had mistakenly called it a county competition, but it was actually larger than that. Sean qualified to be on the Elgin team and compete with 7 other kids from the school. The competition is open to 6th – 8th grades. Sean was the only […]

Some Landscaping For The House

I mentioned in a Tweet early this week that we were getting the house appraised today in order to refinance it. Interest rates have really dropped recently and its a really good opportunity to do so.

This past weekend, we finally got around to watching the Transformers movie. We have had it from Netflix for a while, but I kept putting off watching it as I was not very interested in the movie. I remember the transformers from my younger days and it was very hokey to say the least. So, […]

Oh boy, tonight the new seventh season of American Idol debuted – lucky me. Suzanne and Savannah are die hard fans of the show. Sean sometimes gets caught up in the show. Me, I don’t like it, but am constantly coerced to watch it. Usually, I flat out refuse and bury myself back in the […]

I had a goofy friend in college who thought Andy Warhol was the most visionary artist ever. My friends even cried the day he died. Maybe my friend was just as visionary, because Warhol’s famous saying that everyone is famous for 15 minutes seems more true today than ever. That saying reflected Warhol’s ability to […]
