Lifelock and Gizzards
Last month or so I was scrolling through my online banking and noticed 2 unauthorized charges. Just before then I had heard commercials for LifeLock, and while I considered it, I sort of brushed it off. Now after seeing the two unauthorized charges – and according to the bank they had my CCV number as well. I took the steps necessary – and then signed up with Lifelock. Hey, it took me a very long time to get the score I enjoy now – I am not about to lose it. Read more
(Guest Post) The Wonderful (and not so Wonderful) world of the Internet
I have asked Michael to do a guest post for me on my blog here. I am sure you will find Michael’s style of writing; depth of curiosity and demeanor to be one of a young man that can accomplish much in life – if he so chooses. – Stuart

The Wonderful (and not so Wonderful) world of the InternetThe Internet plays an incredibly big and important role in my life. I guess that the same can be said for most if not all people (under the age of 85), with the difference that my life would’ve been completely different (read worse) if it wasn’t for the Internet.

Humanity
Every once and awhile along comes a story that would humble most anyone. This time it is a story of a Team, Team Hoyt.
Dick and Rick Hoyt are a father-and-son team from Massachusetts who together compete just about continuously in marathon races. And if they’re not in a marathon they are in a triathlon — that daunting, almost superhuman, combination of 26.2 miles of running, 112 miles of bicycling, and 2.4 miles of swimming. Together they have climbed mountains, and once trekked 3,735 miles across America.
It’s a remarkable record of exertion — all the more so when you consider that Rick can’t walk or talk.
Of Mice and Men
Don’t ask me why I picked that for a thread title – it just came to me. There were a few things I wanted to talk/write/muse about this post but first and foremost is my new ride.
You see, my 1995 Geo Prism (Toyota Corolla) Died with 191,257 miles on it. Overheated bad and kept on running until I slowed down. I bought the car January of 2000 for $3,800 with 90,514 miles on it and that equates to roughly $ 0.0377 per mile. Not bad really. It certainly owed me nothing – and still got 40mpg up to the end.

Ok, so the Headless horseman freaks the hell out of me.
I was talking with Krissi on what freaks someone out – because. Okay, back up – call it a snowballing type of thing to make Maddy happy – but I went as a clown this year on Halloween. Go figure – do you know that I cannot remember dressing up for Halloween since I was about 12 years old?
You’re wondering what I looked like aren’t you?
All right – all right – here I am.
