I’m Getting Old
My sister Jodi sent me this card for my birthday this year. Funny. I used to get the cards telling me to have a “sexy” or “manly” birthday. Now I guess I’ve reached the age for diaper cards. Thanks Jodi. Thanks to all who said hello on by snail mail, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, txt, and […]
Fishing with Bridget on Thanksgiving Day
A friend of mine has a tradition of fishing on Thanksgiving. Sounded good to me. Fish in the morning and eat in the afternoon. This year I tried to recruit the boys to go with me. They’d been in the “winter” and quickly passed. My oldest girl, however, was all go. We fished just below […]
Nineteen Years…Wow, That was Fast!

WSJ Blog Post w/ Healthcare Comments
Ford estimates its change for salaried retirees will save the auto maker about $80 million annually, and even more in future accounting liabilities on its balance sheet. In 2006, Ford spent $1.8 billion on retiree health care for hourly and salaried workers, more than half its total $3.1 billion health-care tab. Ford has estimated its U.S. health-care costs will increase 6% this year and could level off to 5% growth by 2011 with some of the changes it is making now.

Emotional Roller Coaster
My youngest is about to turn 3 years old. She’s an emotional machine with the able to switch from happy to tears back to all smiles all within a few seconds. The past week has been interesting with all her older siblings at home from school. Each night she’s overly tired and just needs to […]

We ventured up Mid-Gad lift to Big Emma and let Amy find her ski legs…. Skied down Bassackwards and The Lunch Run to Big Emma a few times…. Go 600 feet through a mountain on a moving walkway (skiway) — just ski on and ride the conveyer belt to the other side.
Press passes have their benefits
