The other day, Taylor was asked to pick something up at the store on the way back from ready reserve. He saw a Walmart off the highway and pulled off. Much to his surprise, there was an El Pollo Loco there! I thought that there were only EPL’s in California, and a few other scattered […]
Just for fun, a collage from last weekend. Most of the pics were taken with Clint, Hank, Marissa, and Taylor at Fat Matt’s Rib Shack. Don’t forget to get the “RUM” baked beans (which we can’t quite figure out why they call ’em “RUM” beans, because apparently they don’t taste like rum) Also, in the […]
1. Go to the Motown Museum2. Tour the Ford Rouge Factory and Greenfield Village3. Eat a sandwich at Zingermanns4. Have a GNO with all the ladies I love5. Chill in Royal Oak and Ferndale6. See a concert at the Fillmore Detroit7. Bridge jump naked from the Ambassador Bridge into Canada (just kidding!) If interested in […]
There is a monster in my existence that torments me incessantly. Demanding, assuming the worst, and jumping to conclusions. And I just have to follow and tolerate this monster without question. To combat the torment today, I went to my car, shut the door, and started to scream. Nothing held back, full of angst, vocally […]
I sometimes text while driving, and floss my teeth while waiting at stoplights I love pictures of kids crying…with squinty eyes, red cheeks, desperate expressions and tear stains Every gray hair found on my head is greeted with tweezers or a black Sharpie I follow over 100 blogs, and can easily spend 2 hours a […]
This morning Taylor and I caught the early showing of Madagascar 2. The pilot penguins totally make the movie! From the “Flaps Up!” comment, to the union contract representative (“No maternity leave!”), you may catch yourself laughing so hard your eyes tear up….it happened for Taylor. I recommend this for the whole family, especially those […]
Yesterday I had my interview at Emory. I hate to get my hopes up prematurely, but I really think I’ve got the job. I was impressed by the people that I met with, had comments ranging from acceptable-to-stunning for every question, had a lot in common with the interviewers, and just had a good gut […]
I’ve been following many blogs of people that I’m only slightly acquainted with. Maybe we went to high school, maybe we went to a common party, maybe we commented on the same blog and I laughed so hard I had to “stalk” your blog. I’ve been amazed at the recent influx of privatizing blogs. There […]
I was just reading about a birdstrike on a Ryanair flight in Rome today. Last November, on Taylor’s first trip off O.E., he had his first birdstrike. I blogged about it last year here, but its one of the aviation experiences that Taylor loves to retell. Of all my blog entries that get searched on […]
Another thing we’ve recently cut back on is our gym membership. Although our loyalty is with 24 Hour Fitness, which isn’t available in MI, we’ve been with Lifetime Fitness through our time in MI. Their closest location is practically a palace. It has a salon, dayspa, massage area, and all sorts of other amenities that […]
