Cocaine

I hate voting years and getting stupid emails like this. I couldn’t help but reply to this one:

Todd–Can you believe our government spent $400,000 dollars to study the effect of cocaine on the sex habits of Japanese quails? Its too ridiculous to make up…Help us keep our latest ad on the air–holding Barack Obama accountable for his out of control spending, and moving America towards a balanced budget is the only responsible course of action.Right now, you can sponsor an ad in Milwaukee, Green Bay, Madison, La Crosse and Eau Claire, or Wausau and Rhinelander. Watch our ad now and help keep it on air.Outraged,

I’m just testing the panorama feature on my Google Nexus S. Simon Creek is a ‘must stop’ destination if you’re heading to Door County — the wines don’t suck and the winery itself is a little slice of Napa Valley in Door County…

Falling In

“Every time I see your face

My heart takes off on a high speed chase

Now dont be scared, its only love

Baby, that were falling in

I cant wait till tomorrow

This feeling has swallowed me whole

And know that Ive lost control

This heart that Ive followed

Has left me so hollow

That was then, this is now, yeah you have changed everything”

What are you doing in my world?

Many years ago, when our son Connor was acquiring language, he said to one of his brothers “what are you doing in my world?”. What made it funny was that he intended to say “what in the world are you doing?”, but his language was much closer to what I think we really mean when we ask that question…

Yesterday, I had a ‘what are you doing in my world?’ experience with my wife. We were driving from Algoma to Warrenville, IL to celebrate my mom’s 75th birthday. During the course of the trip, she…

  • Used Google Maps to find a restaurant in Milwaukee and find her way back to pick me up
  • Commented on my Facebook status from her smartphone
  • Critiqued a couple of blog posts on my personal blog
  • Actually tried to sell my mom on the value of having a smartphone!

…all from her HTC Evo!

Now these might sound like normal things to you, but I have always told people that when it comes to technology, my wife and I have a mixed marriage. Not I’m PC and she’s Mac, but rather I live it, she hates it. Until now, the internet has been my own private playground but apparently that’s not the case anymore — my wife is now critiquing my blog posts! I almost fell over when I was sitting in a meeting and saw that she had commented on my Facebook status. I was even more surprised when she made it back to the place where she dropped me off. I was even more surprised than that when the critiques she offered on my posts was actually good feedback and I think I’m going to listen to her more often [in that regard anyway]…
