Mark Chestnut, or Just Some Guy on His Chat Line?
You never know when you crank up facebook who might send you a message. Tonight after the usual collection of middle-eastern wanna-bes finally went away, I’m off to the grind stone, working on my blogs, and I get a message. Mark Chestnut? No, really. I sit there and stare at it for a bit, knowing [...]
The Best Towns to Live in Right Here in Colorado
A stone’s throw from Highlands Ranch, I have to agree… It’s one of the nicest places in Colorado to live. With magnificent views of the metro area and the mountains, Highlands Ranch captures the essence of living for me. I enjoy the tight knit community, resources and miracle of existence that still thrives in this [...]
Perspective – Church Mouse Conservative
The day started out, much like any other, with a sunrise, coffee, a bagel, and me shipping out the emails my son asked me to send. A portion of his current mission experience is learning to ask others to help you, not something he’s particularly good at. Together with his brother, they created a letter [...]
Herb Gardening Along the Santa Fe Trail
There are days when you just know you’re going to find exactly what you need along the Santa Fe Trail. Yesterday was one of those days. Besides the fact that my four super-star children learned one more lesson along the way to growing up (sometimes they learn faster than other times), the morning held a [...]
Global Warming Disaster – Story at Ten
It all happened on the way home from the Tea Party in La Junta, Colorado. After a stellar speech by Judy Rydburg Reyher, I stood up and spouted my piece about the lack of interactive communications between “We the People” and the government, complained a bit about the idiocy of current Incestuous Politicians and their [...]
Know Your Traffic – That’s Marketing
Who’s that visiting your website? This past week, I decided to check my viewers and see if I knew who they are and why they visit my website. I didn’t find many surprises. There’s a whole host of folks who find my site when they search for Victoria’s Secret, because of an article I wrote [...]
Most Popular Blog Posts – Teasers
Tonight, I was thinking through my day finding postable portholes and thinking about the most effective and popular posts, so I googled the most popular posts. Um… Interesting return on posting history. None of the top ten on Technorati would have been chosen by me as popular posts… Boring! Gizmo, crunch, political guck! Yuck! Whatever [...]
Social Networking with Real People
Remember when going out for coffee meant meeting someone at a coffee shop and chattering up the latest events in your life? Those days aren’t so far in the past, but many of us have let them slip a little too far away. Yesterday afternoon, my daughter scheduled a play date for her daughter and [...]
Birthday Bash – Marine v. Army
Set the stage with one Marine running for U.S. Senate and a new Army recruit roughing up to challenge Basic Training and what do you get? A Birthday Bash and a Baby Shower integrated into the Playoffs for the Superbowl. YAY – it’s a Viking v. Saints game next week, and the challenge is on… [...]
Market Share – Pick Up the Pace for Brighter Economic Prospects
Advertizing is Muscle! Yay! Of course it is muscle, but what’s the fat people are always cutting when they talk about their budget? The past few weeks have been a real learning experience on the local level. I’m not really into marketing in my hometown. I’ve found it doesn’t really happen when I do. I [...]
