Not quite the same
I have now driven a Hyundai for the first time. My wife picked up our white Hyundai Accent from Enterprise yesterday morning and I drove it to work this morning. It seems to be a reasonably well built econobox of a … Continue reading
He’s done!
Big A woke up this morning with his knee hurting pretty badly. His visit to the hospital confirmed the pain. He tore his lower collateral ligament. On a scale of 1-3, the doctor thinks it is a 2-3 in severity. Thankfully, this … Continue reading

Pain from top to bottom
Today was not a very productive day. I did go watch/coach my son in his latest tournament. (he won) I also met with a college funding advisor only to find out that there is not much he can do to … Continue reading
If I only had a brain…
That was the Scarecrow’s chorus in “The Wizard of Oz.” He called me and wants royalties from me! I didn’t get a call from the general manager of the Honda shop last night. So, in anticipation of his call this … Continue reading
