The Bailout
Wednesday, October 01 2008
Obviously the $700 billion bailout plan [and subsequent House of Representatives rejection] is dominating the news these days. Even though I have a degree in Accounting, I'm no financial wizard and figuring out exactly what caused this mess and how to correct it is a job for bigger brains than mine. But I try to keep up with current events. And it seems to me that a good source of information about the economy is probably, um, economists. So I've turned to Stephen J. Dubner and Steven D. Levitt at the Freakonomics Blog . The straw that broke the camel's back, otherwise known as Fannie, Freddie...

PS: I heard this on the radio today and it resonated with me. What an awesome credo to live by.
Her Story Time
Wednesday, September 24 2008
You might be thinking right now that I'm referring to that nostalgic time right before bed when the parent reads a book [or two or three] to their adoring child. The two of you enthusiastically search her little library for just the right book and then you sit down on the floor with her in your lap and a big smile on both your faces.

Yes, my 4-1/2 year old daughter can do this and I was [and still am] pretty...

Bumbershoot '08
Wednesday, September 17 2008
Last year was my first time attending Bumbershoot . The BTG and I went for a single day and thoroughly enjoyed it. So much so, that when tickets went on sale in the spring for this year's event we decided to get 3 day passes. It was well worth it! Here's what we saw... Saturday: I was eager to see Ian Moore . I've followed his music for a decade now and he didn't disappoint. While we were in the beer garden, we caught Asylum Street Spankers . They were funny, but not really my thing. Wandering over to the Rockstar stage we saw Man Man and this is exactly what I picture true band geeks to grow up...
