Note To Self
March 30, 2009500 Years = 12 Years?
March 26, 2009If a city has a record-setting flood that (a) forces 60,000 people to evacuate, (b) ruins everything in a three mile radius, and (c) causes $3.5 billion in damage, then what would it take for that city’s citizens to feel safe again? In this case, it was a $200 million flood wall surrounding the city [...]
Legen … Wait For It … Dary!
March 22, 2009All times are approximate, and all events are , sadly, 100% true.
5:15 pm: I meet B-Weezy at Buffalo Wild Wings for some wings, beer, and sports. Hey, that should be their slogan. “Buffalo Wild Wings; wings, beer, sports!”
5:16 pm: That already is their slogan? Okay, forget I said anything.
5:25 pm: One beer down and we’re [...]
You Know It’s March Madness When …
March 21, 2009- You have the opportunity to watch roughly 20 hours of almost non-stop college basketball over the course of two days, and that thought excites you to no end.

Quick Hits Before The Weekend
March 20, 2009In my mind, when a hotel boasts free wireless internet, shouldn’t its guests expect that internet to work?

Whew, sorry I blew up there. I’m [...]
1, 2, 3, 4, I Declare A Thumb War
March 11, 2009It’s time for another episode of Thumbs Up – Thumbs Down. I’ve had a few things on my mind lately that are either pissing me off or making my day. Let’s explore, shall we?
Thumbs up to Pandora. I know it’s a simple idea, but I really like the thought of a radio station that actually [...]
Hungry, Why Wait?
March 9, 2009So I finally got back into town yesterday and you know what? It’s true what they say; senior citizens, although slow and dangerous behind the wheel, can still serve a purpose. Wait, that’s not the life lesson I was thinking of. Oh yeah, it was this one: no matter how nice it is to have [...]
Life On The Road
March 2, 2009Whew, been a while. I feel like I’m a little rusty at this whole blogging thing. But now here I am, coming to you live from a Holiday Inn Express in Minneapolis. (By the way, this will inevitably lead to me following up every decision I make with the phrase, “I did stay at a [...]
