Last night, Chris and I did a marathon watch of the latest five-part series of Torchwood. The shows aired earlier in the week, and I just didn’t find the time to watch them through the week, so I thought “I’ll just start Day One and Two tonight, and finish the rest tomorrow and through the week. Well that didn’t happen, and around 4AM we finished watching Day Five.

I liked it, though I have a lot of questions about the “what happens next” in the show. (Note, if you haven’t seen the show, don’t click “more” (due to spoilers).) Read more…

Guess What?!?!

I’m bowling for Big Brothers Big Sisters and I need your support. I have set a personal goal of raising $500 in sponsorships to help my team (“Bad Apples 1”) in the BBBS Employee Bowl for Kids’ Sake event on July 17, 2009. Can you support me?

Your contribution will help raise funds for BBBS, and the many programs that BBBS does to impact the lives of our youth throughout our community. Any amount is welcome, and you can contribute by clicking on this link and making your contribution now.

As many of you know, and some of you may not, not only do I work for BBBS, but Chris and I also have been matched with our Little Brother since March 2008. For me, this has been an incredible personal journey, and continues to impact my life in a positive way.

If each person that receives this email could donate $10.00 then I could easily meet my goal. Of course, donations of any amount are always welcome, and I’m very happy to exceed my goal should that opportunity arise. Can you support my efforts for Bowl for Kids’ Sake today?

Your support is appreciated, and I encourage you to forward this email to your friends, family and colleagues to seek their support for this Bowl For Kids’ Sake program.

For information on the Bowl for Kids’ Sake program, please visit the website at www.bowlforkidssake.org.

Thank you for any support you can offer.

I am shivering
It is chilly here today
I need warm weather

The last couple of days have been quite chilly here in Frisco. This morning when we woke up, the temperature was about 21F (-6C), which was probably a little chillier than was forecast. It is now about 1:30 PM and there is still ice on the ground, but it is slowly melting away as the sun hits it. Yesterday was cold and grey, today is colder and sunny. Our schools around the area have the day off, which provides a great opportunity to catch up with kiddies home from school (for my job).

The dogs are not overly fond of the cold, and there is a lot of encouragement normally needed to get them to go outside to do their business. The look on their faces is kind of funny as they try to figure out why we are doing this to them (I seriously think they believe we control the weather).

Still it is nice to have so much quiet going on, as the roads are less busy, and right now all I can hear is the sound of CNN in the background … oh and one of my dogs snoring. It’s the simple things

Thankfully this latest decision by Starbucks to stop brewing decaf coffee after 12PM doesn’t affect me. I am amazed that the savings that are being projected over the next 9 months is $400M (that’s million)!
