Thinking Back on Bermuda
I have one primary memory from our trip to Bermuda in October 2006, when we took a cruise to the island. More than the crazy motorcycles or funny pink buses, what sticks in my mind was the scuba diving we did there. It is a memory that I will always treasure – and yet it’s … Continue reading
Portrait Paintings
Over at my in-laws’ house, there is a family portrait. It’s got my wife and her parents; her younger sister wasn’t born yet at the time. To be honest, I have always thought it was kind of goofy looking! My wife says it was painted from life, but that the painter also worked from photographs. … Continue reading
Tina’s WordPress Themes
I am happy to write about Tina Silva’s blog, she is a fellow Postie. She likes Hello Kitty too! But the really great thing on her site is her free WordPress themes. I used to have as many as 17 skins on my old Movable Type blog, and WP makes it even easier to do … Continue reading
Travel is So Expensive
I love travel so much – getting there, exploring new places, learning new things. Unfortunately I can’t afford to travel as much as I would like, nowhere near it. In fact, now that I’m going back to school, my travel is going to have to get even further cut back. I was surprised to find … Continue reading
Tickling the Ivories
When I was a kid, I took piano lessons for a very short time. I ran into the problem that many kids experience: I hated to practice. I came across a free piano lessons email newsletter for adults on “Piano Chords & Chord Progressions” which runs for 101 weeks – two full years of educational … Continue reading
Reach for the Stars (Bring Your Wallet)
I know this is going to sound funny, but I’m absolutely serious. I have spent time poring over the stables of motivational speakers that can be hired to give talks at events. I think it is so cool that if you have enough money, you can have just about anybody come and talk to you, … Continue reading
Booking Cruises Online
It’s less than a month until I leave on another cruise…I can’t help it, they’re fun! This one is the first time I am going on a cruise booked through a human travel agent, which is a little strange because she keeps contacting us with information about this and that…and I’ve already done all the … Continue reading
Living Internationally
As I mentioned yesterday, we’re planning to move three miles from where we live now. But I’ve lived in this area my entire life, and I do think about moving elsewhere. I think if I could live anywhere in the world, right now it would be Montreal. I’ve been there a couple of times and … Continue reading
Fourfind Directory
I’m looking at a recently-started website, Fourfind Directory. The first thing that caught my eye was the slick design of the site, and then how they separate categories. They have four main sections: blogs, forums, directories, and websites. I am really looking forward to seeing their directories section, especially the free directories section, because I’m … Continue reading
Big Bucks
As you know, I occasionally write paid posts for the blog advertising service PayPerPost. I have made about $1,000 through these posts in the past six months or so. Not enough for it to be a real job, but a nice additional piece of money. With it I have bought a fancy-dancy video iPod and … Continue reading
