I’ve never done much traveling for work, but two years ago I started a new job where I travel a lot. I’m on the road about 50% of the time, and I’ve had a chance to realize the things I dislike about traveling. Here’s my list of top travel complaints: Rental Cars: People that smoke […]

My new garden at the new house is doing pretty well so far.  A first year garden is fun but not at the same time.  It’s fun because you can experience the pleasure of designing and building something new.  The drag is having to start from scratch on the soil.  My soil has quite a […]

I admit I was a tad hesitant to play this game.  It’s not my normal cup of tea.  I figured it was going to be a lot like Heavy Rain, which I found a bit boring and never finished.  It had great reviews, though, so I decided why not.  It turns out I was pleasantly […]
