As part of my duties, as the missus’ “gal friday”, I do a lot of driving and waiting these days. Driving and waiting. Pretty much a chauffeur. So today, I decided to spice it up a little. And I don’t mind mentioning the brand and make of the car, although they aren’t a sponsor of [...]

I’ll just say Happy, Happy Anniversary and leave it at that. January 12, 1969 and January 12, 1971. Probably 2 of the better days in [...]
An Apple A Day, Keeps Your Stock at Bay
As I mentioned yesterday, I am in the market for a new mobile phone. Going to go down the path of a “smartphone”, because I am smart! Um, maybe. Anyway what a glorious time to be in the market for a phone, eh? I was watching that Verizon announcement yesterday that they were getting the [...]
