I have flown over 100 flights in 2007. During that entire time I have never missed a connection or been stranded without being able to get where I was going. That is, I have never been stranded until last night.

It Finally Happened
It Could Be Worse
It has been almost 3 years since I wrote Why I Chose an ARM Mortgage. With the current sub-prime lending collapse and talk of a Government bailout, now is a good time to revisit that decision.
My main reason for taking the ARM in the first place was to keep as much cash-flow as possible. My [...]
This Could Be Bad
I am completely unmotivated, unfocused, and unsure what to do about it. What is worse is that I have stuff piling up. I have two meetings this afternoon about additional work, and these are meetings that I will have to prepare for and be on my a-game.
I have also lost my appetite (in large part [...]

We had a fence put around our backyard for our dog and our kids. It is the single best improvement we have ever done to our house. The dog is happier and we don’t have to walk her on cold mornings.
One of my neighbors is seriously pissed about the fence. I had [...]
Fantasy Complicates Things
The Tennessee Titans are playing the Denver Broncos tonight. I am really looking forward to the game and want to see the Titans show up an play four quarters of football*. However, due to fantasy football I am going to be cheering with some caveats.
You see, I am in a fantasy football league [...]
Eye Exams Seem Subjective and Prone to Error
As I mentioned yesterday, I was fitted for prescription glasses for the first time last weekend. What I didn’t post is how uneasy the process made me feel.
For those of you (like the old me) with perfect vision, you might be shocked to learn how much of a subjective process an eye exam is. [...]
