My First College Job

When I first went to college, I was looking for a part time job, so that I could earn a little bit of spending money. My parents were paying for my tuition and my living expenses, but my spending money was up to me. That is when I found the job of handing out student […]

Looking At Dog Food

I just recently bought my first dog and it is great.  There is nothing like having a companion that follows you around wherever you might go.  Though this has been all good and great, but it hasn’t been without challenges.
Perhaps the biggest hurdle has been with the dog food.  Before we even got Biff, we […]

Characteristics of a Quality, Regional Magazine

Now, not all magazines are created equal.  You have probably read ones that are concise and to the point with very little print advertising.  On the other hand, there are ones out there with little or no content and are just full of advertisements.
What I like to see in a quality regional magazine is articles […]

Bad Baby Brother

I asked my friend, who sells electronics in a computer store about purchasing some privacy software. My brother, who is a big loser, has recently been using my computer to feed his addictions and he knows that he is not supposed to touch the computer.
When I found out that he was using it when […]

The Future Use of OLED Technologies

I have been following the development of OLED and AMOLED displays for a long time.  Though not available to the public yet, it is looking like the next couple of years will bring interesting advances in displays.
Perhaps one of the most exciting aspects of the new product offerings is the flexible OLED.  It will […]

My Special Sister

Sometimes I really want to hate my sister. I really want to, but I can’t. This is because I know that she doesn’t know better. My sister was born with severe cerebral palsy and she cannot help doing the things she does. Some days I really resent her, but I always end up feeling very […]

Taking Uncles Money

I was not sure if I needed to purchase insurance in the town where I live. I decided to ask my uncle, who happens to be an insurance salesman in another city. I thought that I could maybe buy from him and get a better deal. I called and asked him if he could give […]

A Much Needed Break

It is hard to believe that my daughter is already working on her dissertation. She is a very smart girl and we knew she would do great things one day, but it is hard for me to believe that she is all grown up. It seems like just yesterday that I was walking her into […]

Will Barrow Taught Me Piano

Will Barrow taught me how to play the piano, though I have never met the man in person.  This is after all the piano lessons that I tried out and failed to learn anything.  I think it was his teaching style that finally helped me to succeed where I previously failed.
You see, I was […]

My Perfect Cruise Vacation

When I went on my Caribbean cruise, I had the best time of my life. It was so perfect from the weather to the port stops to the shopping. You can’t beat the weather there because it’s hot and when you spend half of the year shoveling snow, nothing compares to sitting on a pure […]
