Are You A Business Or A Professional?

What is the difference?

Money!

I recently had some ask me if I knew the difference between a "haircut" and a "hairstyle".  I said no.  I was told "about 50 bucks".

Turning Wine Into Water

I hate to be skeptical.  (Well, really I do like to be skeptical).  But, I think the worst might be sneaking out of me as I read Kevin O'Keefe's post on Big Law going blogging.

Now, there is nobody better than Kevin O'Keefe and his company LexBlog.  It's his business.  It is just that when I hear Big Law is now asking how it can get into blogging safely, I think of that Dennis Miller rant about Hollywood taking notice of low budget pictures.  So, Hollywood is going to start cranking out low budget flicks . . . for a $100 million dollars apiece!

God's Gentle Way Of Saying Update Your Equipment

Lighting struck!  Literally.  It hit my next door neighbor's back yard.  Feet from my home / office.  The clap of thunder that followed was deafening.  I knew it was getting bad, so I turned off my computers.  I shut down my phones.  Little good it did.  Despite surge protectors and a breaker box, my computers and my phone system have had it.  I have got my computer working with some old parts.  My phone system?  Only one line works and it does not ring through.  The call goes to voice mail.  I am notified.  I listen to the message.  And, I call back.

I have been putting off change.  Why?  Money.  It is plain and simple.  Tech can be expensive.  I do not like spending money.  But, it makes little sense now to spend a bunch repairing what I have, when new and updated are not that much more.

It is time to move on.  I am going to try a new set up for me.

I will let you know how it goes.

Happy Father's Day!

I am happy to accept this award as the Numero Uno Dad.  I have four very wonderful and high maintenance children, so I must say that I deserve it.  I have put on a good deal of weight over the years, but you know what having four babies can do to a guy's figure, right?  Anyway, I cannot say that this equals Mother's Day.  Say what you want, but it hard to compare.  In honor of Father's Day, I get to go to Lowe's for some home repair.  I expect to see a lot of you Dads there with your gift certificates.  But, none of you other dads out there had better try taking my award as your own.  You might be great fathers and all, but I am #1.  After all, I was also Time Magazine's Person of the Year.  Remember?  So hands off!!!!!!!!

Pepsi Ice Cucumber

The girls, including my daughter, Mary Newton, share their impression of Pepsi's newest flavor of soda in Japan - Pepsi Ice Cucumber.  "Interesting" indeed.  Maybe the next flavor will be Coke Iceberg Lettuce.
