Jackson Hole Pics

These are some of the best ones...
Are you kidding me? A better driver than most in FL!

Hidden Falls (3 hrs round trip and 5 miles) SO WORTH IT!

A very important epiphany

Last night I was watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory which is one of my favorite movies of all time and it finally hit me...I now know who Charlie Bucket looks like.....

Jon Bon Jovi...as an adolescent.

No need to thank me. I know that you often wondered who that kid looked like, and now you know....

You're welcome...

A thousand times

Rarely are there movies that touch me the way this one did...and rarely to the core of me. Such is my experience with "The Kite Runner". Now I am not going to comment on the war or the President or anything of a political nature...however, this movie ended with an amazing line and I just could not....
Stop crying. Like I cried at the end of Cinema Paradiso (my sister had to physically hold me for several minutes). That is the kind of movie experience I want to have every time I rip open the tape of the next Netflix I get in my mailbox. Folks, if you want a movie to make you think, feel, and really ponder the important things in life, then this is the one for you. I can't even put into words how it moved me, in so many ways. See it and then tell me you don't feel the same way...and if you don't...well, then we need to talk, because I am not sure you are TOTALLY, I mean totally human...

Please, if you have seen it or decide to see it as a result of reading my rant here, please let me know what you think...

Tonight is "There will be Blood" ...rock on sucka's!

Oh yeah, and HAPPY 4th!!!! Another 4 day work week!!!!
WOO HOO!!!

Jackson Hole, WOW-oming

Well, I got back LATE last Friday evening from the MOST amazing week in Wyoming (which I never would have thought I would say). I am writing this in the color of the sky the ENTIRE time we were there. This place is like nothing I have ever seen (and I get around). The Grand Tetons are the MOST amazing mountains and the weather was PERFECT all week...the week before they had over 6 inches of snow.

We hiked 5 miles (mostly upwards) to Hidden Falls which took three hours and most of my reserved oxygen...and it was well worth the hike. We went horseback riding, whitewater rafting (Captain Ron is crazy good), went through Yellowstone, saw Old Faithful and a bunch of animals and did more hiking. I took like over 270 photos (Teresa would be SO proud) which I PROMISE to download before we go to Mexico. I PROMISE!

I cannot say enough about the beauty of this place. No trash or billboards and the ratio of men to women is like 10:1. And they are cute granola guys, let me tell you ladies.

The pictures will be coming soon...and I cannot WAIT to go back!

Disgusting Work Revelations

OK...so I am all for 'appropriate bathroom time' but this is out of the question...


On the way home yesterday, I decided to use the restroom first (no telling how slow 595-W will be at 5:45pm) and the ladies room was in use. I opted for the Men's room (people do it all the time here as they are single bathrooms) so that I could get out of the office as soon as possible!

To my surprise and utter horror, I see both the Business and the Sports section of yesterday's paper on the back of the toilet. I understand 'light bathroom reading' as much as the next person, but that should be relegated to the privacy of one's own home and NOT the work toilet. It just really kinda got under my skin for whatever reason. Gentlemen (and ladies)...PLEASE take your reading material WITH YOU when you leave the loo...







For the sake of us all.

Amazing New Products

Since Teresa is really the only person (love you sister friend!) who reads these posts, and since I was scolded to add a new one just today...my new mission in life (which will change with the direction of the wind) is to come up with photos of interesting things. This may include, but will not be limited to, interesting people, signs, animals, objects, and other interesting (and mostly pointless) bits of information.


Today is the BRAND NEW invention of DRY BABY baby dryer. All you have to do is gently wrap your cooing infant into the PATENTED loosely tied cotton poly blend dryer bag that comes with the unit. Gently place the baby into the unit and turn the unit 'ON'. The baby will bounce to and fro until completely dry...


There are no adverse affects to the baby after the cycle completes, namely because the inside of the unit is padded with cotton balls and cloth diapers.

Contact me for ordering information...Introductory price is only $399.99.




Accessories (such as baby powered scent inserts) are sold separately
