2009-06-08T14:57:00.003-04:00

I've not posted in a while. One reason is that I've connected really well with family and friends, old and new, on Facebook. That said, this little video is cute and I thought you all would enjoy it.Here time for the Peachtree Jr 3k was 26:41.

Brasstown Valley Stables

2008-10-08T18:11:00.002-04:00

Maria was attending a conference at the Brasstown Valley Resort in Young Harris, GA this week. Hailey and I decided to tag along so that we could have a mid-week, mini-vacation from work and school. The below video is our horseback ride through the mountains. Being mid-week we had the trail to ourselves and our guide, Jim. While it looked like it might rain that morning, it held off until we

Cellular Bill Analysis

2008-08-03T22:27:00.004-04:00

I was reading my Pop Sci magazine when it mentioned BillShrink as a site to compare your cellular billing plan and see if it's the best for you. It offers two ways. The first is where you enter hypothetical information and it gives similar hypothetical answers. The other, and I was wary to try it, was to give it the log in for your provider and let it capture real usage to formulate a response.

Disney World Redux

2008-07-26T11:34:00.000-04:00

We took the kids to Disney World in Orlando. It was the first vacation for just the four of us in I can't say how long. I'd shopped around for deals and found that staying in the park was the best hotel/ticket combo price. After it was booked we decided to drive down Sunday so that we could get an early start Monday. I used some long accumulated points to snag an Embassy Suites room a mile away.

Ricky races at Screven Motor Speedway.

A Social Experiment

2008-07-01T10:53:00.007-04:00

I've read and heard in a couple of places that driving the speed limit is the single best way to affect your MPG. On the surface this sage advice would seem to make sense. That said, I took a couple of minutes today to create a short form to track such info. If you want to participate just fill in the form and submit. The information will be appended to an online spreadsheet where you can see how

Spain win UEFA Cup 2008

2008-06-29T18:45:00.001-04:00

I spent several extremely hot hours at the Brewhouse Cafe for a chance to join a large contingent of Spainards (my wife and son included) watching the UEFA Cup 2008. Spain defeated Germany in the final 1-0. Why does this deserve a post you ask? It was standing room only as you can see below...Viva Espana!

Move Over GH3, Hello Rock Band

2008-06-23T23:50:00.003-04:00

A cross post from a Live Journal reply. We got a Wii about a month ago. Well actually Maria won it at school. See we'd already said we weren't going down the new game system road again. Anyway, since then we've played GH3 every night that AJ is home (time off for camp). Of course, I had to buy the flying V guitar for myself... It's a cool way to play with the kids.So, yesterday morning we bought

St Pat's in Columbia: 11:30pm

2008-03-15T23:39:00.004-04:00

We're at Headliners in the Vista area of Columbia. Right now I'm really enjoying a band called Treadmill Trackstar. This quartet has (i) guitar and lead vocalist, (ii) thumping bass, (iii) drums, and (iv) a cellist. What? A cello? Yes, and this band sounds pretty good live.Update: You can read this article for more information about the band.Update 2: Photos!Angelo Gianni………..Vocals/GuitarsMike
