Scrambling to get a Home Inspection

Sometimes my life can feel very much like a whirlwind.  You see, we flip houses and are always on the lookout for a good deal - even if that deal happens to be out of town.
We recently had a sweet deal fall in our laps, and we had to go check it out.  Unfortunately for […]

Our "Thank You" to Wedding Guests

While we were planning our wedding, we thought of everything - or so we thought.  You see, we had found the perfect hall, caterer and park where we would tie the knot.  But, it wasn’t until we went out for coffee with some good friends of ours, that we realized that we forgot something important […]

Remind Me Once Again

Tell me again about this whole Medicare thing. I don’t get it. If the program is so good and people are being encouraged to sign up for some kind of Medicare plan, then why are folks getting sent to websites that say something like "Get your California Medicare Supplement quote here."
Tell me again about […]

Remember When?

Remember when it wasn’t politically incorrect to play cowboys and Indians? When Indian food was the same as what cowboys ate? When you made up your own Indian recipes, that consisted of marshmallows, chocolate bars and graham crackers?
Remember when playing house had no connotations of sex? When boys and girls thought each other had cooties […]

Consumerism and Gross Consumption

It’s no wonder that Americans are looked upon as fat, lazy and rich. Compared to most of the rest of the world, we are. Super size everything. Give me big of it! What the average family spends on fast food in a month would feed two families in a developing country for at least a […]

The American Dream

Ever since I was a young child growing up in Spain, I had dreamed of one day living and working in America.  I knew, that one thing I needed to do before I went was to get a better grasp of the English language.  I did not want to go on the little amount that […]

Frustrated with Website Marketing

When I first started my first website, I thought that I would do everything.  My plan was to create the site, write the content, and do all the marketing all by myself.  It couldn’t be hard right?
Well, I was in for a surprise.
I didn’t realize that it was going to be so time intensive.  I […]

Built to Last

I am a big fan of Bobcat products. They are built to last and I have not had a problem with any of the equipment that I have ever owned. In fact, even when I expect to have a problem, it just doesn’t happen.
For instance, I have had an extra set of skid steer tracks […]

Catching Up on Vegas

Years ago, I lived in Las Vegas.  I would have stayed there as I loved the city, but when I met my wife, she lived in another city.  I made the sacrifice to move to the city where she lived and left the Vegas life behind.
But just because I don’t live there anymore, it doesn’t […]

Most of all, a Mother

I learned everything I know from my mother and she was an amazing teacher. In fact, if it was not for her, I would not be the success that I am today. I started a corporate hospitality company straight out of high school. The only reason I was able to do this is because my […]
