Although I’ve never really observed Grandparents Day in the past, I decided that this year would be different. I’m going to buy my mom a card and a gift, and then maybe organize an outing so she can spend the whole day with my son.
I haven’t quite decided what kind of present to get her, [...]
I’ve been shopping around for a sports watch to wear on a daily basis when I’m just lounging at home or running errands. All of the watches I own right now are expensive dress watches that look pretty ridiculous when paired with a t-shirt and sweats, so I want something a bit more casual [...]
I usually don’t care much about the weather or hurricane warnings, but this whole Gustav situation has me positively riveted. I can’t believe that another massive storm is bearing down on New Orleans just a few years after Katrina devastated the city.

Jerry has been wearing contacts for about 10 years now, and is thoroughly tired of the hassle that goes along with them. Between revising his prescription every year, going through gallons of cleaning solution, and always having irritated eyes, he’s had enough. That’s why he’s really been pushing for Lasik surgery lately.
I haven’t looked into [...]
One thing I’ve noticed happening over the past few months is that our small group of regular friends isn’t having quite as many dinner outings as we used to. We used to go out to decent restaurants at least two or three times a month, and end up spending several hundred dollars between the six [...]
