It’s quite a story!
Find out my thoughts on how a city government created a PR blunder with unmonitored accounting and a bad attitude. And guess who’s the victim: a 74-year-old blind lady!
I am also really excited because one of my favorite e-newsletter publishers, The Publicity Hound, read the post and commented! I feel like I’ve [...]

Last year, Brett and I discovered a faster way to get the ruby red jewels out of a pomegranate, thanks to Alton Brown’s Good Eats TV show. Brett has grown up with the alien-looking fruits, which are hard for me to hold in one hand. But trying to open them and get out the juice-surrounded [...]

To friends and anyone interested in some good uplifting words,
I am going to start posting my raw sermon notes from St. Louis Family Church on my other blog, PlanetSonia.com.
I’ve been taking digital notes since last year when I got my iPhone, and I type around 35 WPM, so I catch quite a lot of good [...]

It’s been an hour and a half.
The lamp is still buzzing, although it is a subtle, more quiet version of the buzz. Almost tolerable.
iPod headphones would definitely cover it up now. I can even make a phone call without embarassment!

As many of you know I’ve been working from home the last several months since I left my job at NAED. I have a great workspace with a window, a 24″ monitor, places for my files, and my new ScanSnap document scanner.
I also have this lamp which I inherited from Brett. It is a nice [...]

We’ve spent hours glued to the tube, watching the Olympics lately. We’ve Tivoed nearly everything, so we’ve been able to catch some of the lesser known sports like: BMX racing, shotput, badminton, table tennis, shooting, trampoline, and weight-lifting.
The other night we were watching wrestling when we heard a familiar voice… it was Rulon Gardner. Rulon [...]

Brett and I headed out at 7 a.m. this morning on a mission to snag him a new iPhone 3G. First we went to the AT&T store (where Brett successfully got his iPhone last year). Last year, he was #36 in line. This year, we were in the 50-60 person range. At about 7:20 a.m., [...]

My dad, Ed, has returned from his big fishing trip to Minnesota; he had a great time with his friend Rich. During the two-plus weeks they were there, they caught all the fish they were allowed to keep.
Dad’s biggest record: a 6.5 lb. walleye!
Dad and Rich camped out, but they had TV, so I’m not [...]

My brother Doug has graduated from the University of Missouri-St. Louis with a double major in graphic design and drawing. Way to go!
He is currently searching for a job, so if you know of any leads, send me an email or leave a comment.
We are having a graduation party for him on June 14, 2:00 [...]

If I’m offline a lot next week, now you know why. Don’t go into shock… but yes, I have willingly donated 4 days of next week to an all-day kids camp with 2000 kiddies. Our church, St. Louis Family Church, hosts a huge event for kids called JUMP that includes a waterpark, inflatables, games, and, [...]
