So the old saying goes “March comes in like a lion, goes out like a lamb”, or at least thats what I remember being told in grade school. While I don’t remember exactly what the weather was like in the beginning of the month, here in Pennsylvania, but the weather at the end of the [...]

Yesterday I went on to tell you a little bit about my allergy issues and the dilemma I was having. Rather than call the doctor and make another appointment, I decided to look into a suggestion made by Carlos in the comments section. Carlos wrote: I don’t suffer from allergies but my wife does, big [...]

Knowing these symptoms all too well, I knew allergy season was about to rear its ugly head. By Monday the symptoms grew to [...]

One of these friends religiously watched Star Trek, Hercules, and Xena every time a new episode aired. Before heading out to meet up with more friends, [...]

On a couple of occasions every week, I like to treat myself with a cigar while I work on this site as well as Stogie Review. It helps me unwind a bit and acts as a reward for putting forth a set amount of time to make sure certain things come about. That cigar, or [...]
Today while at work, my mind began to wander as I punched in commands into AutoCAD. For whatever reason, the line “I put on my robe and wizard hat” popped into my mind. As soon as the words played out in my head I got this big, stupid, full blown koolaid smile across my face. [...]
Over the past couple of years I have grown very fond of forums. The sense of community is fantastic and niche specific sites are an incredible wealth of knowledge. One of the earlier forums I was a member of is no more. It was called BFStats and was a gaming forum geared towards Battlefield 1942. [...]

I’m finding it difficult for a couple of reason, one of which has been my sleep pattern. Ever since the clock change last weekend, I’ve felt run-down and exhausted. Have you [...]

A couple of years ago I was working as a cabinetmaker in a small shop. There were about six employees in all and we were very close with the owners. The husband worked side by side with us in the shop while the wife ran the office. At some point during the summer our boss [...]
On Sunday afternoon I was checking the weather when I saw that the Reading area of PA was forecast to receive between four and six inches of snow. I was looking forward to the snow because it was going to mean that I’d be working from home, which entails a bath robe, coffee, and a [...]
