End of the summer

Can you believe it’s the end of the summer already? Weather wise I’m sure it won’t cool down or be fall for about another month, but Labor Day usually meant the end of the summer for me while growing up.
Quite a few Labor Days while I was growing up my parents would [...]

What’s on my mind?

One of my loyal readers asked me why I hadn’t updated the blog in awhile. Well honestly I haven’t had much happening besides the usual get up, go to work, come home and go to sleep. And unlike when I was in school, I can’t blame it on school. So what exactly [...]

Intersting phone call

ME: Ummm…about 3 years ago.
Caller: Well how about windows or sun room?
ME: [...]
