When I managed a Starbucks five years ago, I was completely impressed with their extensive training program. That’s why I was not surprised to hear that all the corporate stores closed for three hours yesterday in order to have a mini-boot camp with their partners. Not only did the shut-down cost the company millions of dollars,...

I saw these in the store and was immediately intrigued. Who wouldn’t want to taste a brown rainbow? Chocolate Skittles comes in five flavors: S’mores, Chocolate Pudding, Chocolate Caramel, Vanilla and Brownie Batter. How they consider “Vanilla” a chocolate flavor is beyond me, however, I wasn’t going to let a technicality stop me from trying. When...
I’ve watched my son, Kevin, devote the last four months to achieving an incredible wrestling record. This involved keeping his grades up while having two hours of wrestling practice every day after school, and attending matches twice, sometimes three nights per week. He had a goal. He wanted to make it to the state tournament...
I guess it’s difficult to protect personal treasures in a home with many siblings. Logan, without asking, drilled holes in his dresser and installed his own private security system in order to assure the sanctity of all that belongs to him. I was miffed that he “ruined” a perfectly good piece of furniture right up...

What a doll!
Cabin fever is a wicked thing. Winter seems to drag its ice cold feet this year and I find myself longing for all things green. In Minnesota we celebrate temperatures of 40 degrees and above with the wearing of shorts and opening of windows. Today we are a mere sixty degrees away from that...
Isaacson’s writing style impressed me for a while, but he becomes rather tedious quickly, dwelling on minor points for long periods until you just can’t take any more. Benjamin Franklin was truly a remarkable man, deserving of a better fate than to be remembered as Isaacson would have us. Unaware of Isaacson’s extreme left-wing...

Liberals should not overplay this weapons of mass destruction card, because you want me to tell you the truth? Most of us are not going to care if they don’t find these weapons of mass destruction. It’s enough for a lot of us to see those kids smiling on that street again. Parenting is...

The folks at Yankee Candle managed to out do themselves again with one of their newest fragrances called “Greenhouse”. If you’ve ever walked into a florist shop and thought to yourself “Oh, I love this smell!”, you’ll be happy to know that you can have that very aroma in your own home. A beautiful...

Pete has spent the last few years being assistant coach for our boys’ wrestling team. This year, when the head coach had to step down from his position, Pete volunteered to take over as head coach (half way through the season) so that the team would be the least affected by disruption. It’s not an easy job. The pay sucks....
She got to cheer with the varsity cheerleaders during halftime at the girls basketball game. She said it was better than watching one year’s worth of Hannah Montana marathons on television. I think I’ll bake her a ”Better Than Hannah Montana Marathons” cake.

The Direct TV receiver in our basement overheated and melted its internal organs so we called to order a new one. Today the installation guy came out to replace it. “How nice!” I thought to myself, “He’s on time and everything!” With baby in arm, I welcomed this man into our kitchen to complete the...
