Ghost Town


Coming in on a Friday before the holiday weeks when the roads are icy was probably not the best use of my time. The place is a ghost town. Usually this is full of people and lots of hall conversations. I can actually hear myself think. I don't like that. There are voices in my head and they tell me to do things I don't like to do (well, sometimes I like to do them). I guess its just me and my friend, Lenovo T61.

Jack Handey Christmas tip...

From Jack Handey's Deep Thoughts:

"Most people don't realize that large pieces of coral, which have been painted brown and attached to the skull by common wood screws, can make a child look like a deer."

Chuck the Yuck



Who are these 3 lovely ladies? Why they are the people behind a new business called Chuck the Yuck. Its a local Portland based business with a unique item for sale. I am friends with Heather (the one in the middle). But see all three of them from time to time at our kid's sporting activities.

Timmyopolis turns 1000!

Ahhh, to be a professional blogger. The highs and lows. Being on the top of the world with the parties, the action, the money, the limelight of being a star. But on the other end, waking up in a dumpster with nothing but a glove on your foot and a burlap hat at a Wal-Mart in Iowa.... It's all part of the life of blogging. Either way, Timmyopolis has made 1000 hits. The thing that stumps me is some of the countries that have visited it. It used to be just the US but ever since Google Search knows about it, other countries have made the hits. Question is.... Who and why is someone searching for Timmyopolis? I wish I knew. Sure, a search could make a hit based on the content of Timmyopolis. But I like to think that the world is excited to hear what I have got to say.

Coors Light Scavenger hunt

Hey Ray, Did you find all of the beer bottles that were hidden in your house during your birthday party? Careful, its a loaded question because you really have NO idea where they all are. I bet it will be past a year before you find them all. Have fun and happy hunting!!!
