Ever wish you had a lawyer? :)

Well, if you know me in real life, you might think I may have needed one from time to time. And well, you would be correct. Luckily a friend recommended signing up for lawyer’s insurance. I thought it was a crock, but it has saved me so many times. I pay about $15 a month, [...]

I rode my bike to fight cancer

Aug 3 – Aug 9th, 2009 I rode my bicycle 520+ miles from Burlington, Vermont to Palmerton, PA to raise money to fight cancer. This blog entry documents that ride.  It would be a struggle and a large effort to probably read it all, but I tried to capture what it was like for me [...]

Interesting thing that happened…

I was searching for my car keys, and talking to my recently deceased friend. I was wishing him well, wherever he might be, and hoping he was in a better place. I asked him to help me find my keys. Then I used a pendulum – you ask a question, and then it indicates a [...]
