One day I was hanging out with Liz Pierce. I was a total retard and I decided to see if the iron that was unplugged was hot. It wasn?t plugged in, and yet I stuck my finger on it. It hurt soooooooo bad. I probably got a serious burn from it. Since then, I never touch iron heads. God, I was such a dumbass.

I remember we went on probably our last family vacation to Niagara falls in between my junior and senior year in high school. My dad was just starting to get into researching his geneaology. He found that there was a city named "Stalker" in Pennsylvania. Apparently the Stalker family first settled in New York and Stalker is right at the border of New York and Pennsylvania. My dad wanted to visit a cemetery to see some of our relatives' tombstones. We took my Dad's third Suburban (the last one).

It turned out that Stalker was a tiny town. (So small that it doesn't show up in the drop-down menu on Memorycrawler.com). It reminded me of a small dirt-road neighborhood in Clarkston. We were surrounded by trees everywhere we went. There was a cemetery and a few houses and a bridge to New York and that was it. We visited the cemetary and my Dad probably took some photos of the tombstones.

Other than that, there wasn't much to see so we left Stalker, Pennsylvania, . . . Read More..

Today I attended another funeral. This time my brothers wife.My brother Tom has been dead now for 22 years. But his wife Judy lived long after him. She was ill for quite awhile and finally gave up the fight. My favorite nephews are her sons and it hurt to see their loss.I was somewhat suprised to find out Judy's age. She was only 8 years older then me. It is funny how we look at others in the same manner that we saw them as when we were children.I would have guessed her as much older.I think the point I'm trying too make is . . . Read More..

The morning we had to unload the truck sitting in the parking lot, I rearranged the parking job and took up two handicap spots to perfectly lay the walk way very close to our stairs. Susan and I unloaded the 26 foot truck in about 3 hours and I lifted some crazy heavy things that day.

My neighbor Keith helped us out big time and helped me transfer our bed and dressers into our place. He was ripped and definitely could handle the weight. He and his wife Karen are awesome, new friends for sure!

I spent the rest of the day setting up tables, beds and breaking down boxes before our friend Tim came over.

That day when setting things up, Susan found a little creature who I knew was a current resident. A cockroach inside of the Dishwasher! She screamed really loudly and after I killed it with a pole and wiped it up I freaked her out a little bit too at some point after things died down when I was cleaning out the dishwasher.

I never told her of it when I initially saw it on the wall . . . Read More..

So about two months ago, I had this idea to quit my job and run a web start up company. I guess I was tired of changing jobs every couple of months, so I figured why not try to do my own thing for a while and see how it goes. Its been hard work and often times frustrating, but things are starting to come together a little bit. I haven't made much money, but I didn't expect to make any quickly. These kind of things always take time.

But all and all its been an interesting experiment in terms of discovering who you are. Its been a nice change to work on a project that I care about and I find that I have to force myself to stop working and do something else at 5PM or I would probably spend all on it. Hopefully everything ends up turning out alright.
