Living right behind a golf course has given me all sorts of ideas for little side businesses. The back edge of my property borders on one of the Tee off points, no idea which hole it is since I’ve never golfed there. It would give me a prime place to put up a [...]

Halloween is coming up pretty fast and we still don’t have a costume for Chloe. She can’t seem to decide what she wants to be, but most likely she’ll end up being a princess or fairy god mother or something similar. We’ve already got a dress she can use for that, and some [...]

Found a neat little game called Virus 2, the goal is to turn get all the hexes to be the same color within 35 moves. You start with 1 hex in the bottom left corner. In this case it’s a red hex and there are 3 blue hexes bordering it. By clicking Blue, my red [...]

When think of Tequila I think of people licking salt, slamming back shots and eating lemons. And eating the worm in the bottom of the bottle.. no thanks. Turns out there’s a lot more to Tequila than meets the eye however.
There are over 700 tequilas to choose from, with over 60 new ones [...]

Lately our lil monster has been addicted to jigsaw puzzles. She’s almost 4 now and is getting really good at them. We had a few of those small wooden ones with 12 pieces or so, but she lost or broke half the pieces years ago. Then last Christmas her grammie bought her a 24 piece [...]

Someone was suggesting to me tonight that I should hold a regular gaming tournament in the store, perhaps one a month or so, playing games like Guitar Hero, Gears of War, Halo 3 and so on. Elimination type matches or possibly a round-robin tournament if there aren’t too many people involved and the games go [...]

I’m not quite sure when I carved this pumpkin, but the date on the file is 1996 which I think is when I first had access to a scanner. I think the original picture had been taken a few years before that, so probably about 15 years ago. Since then I’ve only carved [...]

One of our semi-regular customers has built a home theater in his house, complete with home theater furniture, a screen and projector, along with a nice sound system. He comes in maybe once a month to browse through the used DVDs and picks up a handful at a time.
He claims it isn’t just for himself [...]
