  • Moth photos

    On the heels of last night’s lightning storm, we had a moth on our deck this morning. Moth on the porch click the moth for more photos He still hasn’t flown away. I am thinking maybe he’d be good for the diet. How many calories in a moth anyway? Update: Turns out this is a

  • First weigh in and my goal for my diet

    Current weight: 225.6 pounds I’ve been floating between 220 and 227 for what seems like forever. When I did my diets in the past I quickly lose weight, then give up – and spring right back into this range. I suppose I should just be happy that I don’t just keep getting heavier. May 30th,

  • Lightning photos

    Lightning illuminates everything, click above for more photos Wow. We were just treated to an extraordinary display of nature. Thunderstorms, while not uncommon in our neck of the woods, typically pass very quickly. Tonight we had a thunderstorm that went on for a few hours, and is still fading slowly as I write this. Eliza

  • The diet log makes a comeback, in a whole new way

    I used to write a diet log, that is – when I was actually on a diet. Mike, Chris and I will be "competing" in a diet contest. Since it is very hard to compete for pounds, or percentage of body fat, etc – we’ve decided that we’re just going to try to help each

  • Soft nails

    For the last few years we have been dealing with ‘life with two cats in an apartment’. There are many drawbacks, and benefits, to having cats (as I’m sure many of you cat lovers out there know). We had been wanting to get new couches for quite awhile, and have been unable since we feared

  • My words have been published

    UNITS, May 2006, Page 96 Paul Bergeron, Director of Communications of the National Apartment Association, contacted me in late April asking if he could use a portion of my "Misuse of Buzzwords" article on Business Logs from January.

  • 6410 Aberdeen worked

    My brother’s house has not been sold yet, but his website for it has definitely worked out already. We’re tracking the visitors using Performancing‘s service, and we’ve been able to determine a few things about the Web site. First of all, it serves as a very good filter for all interested parties. Peter put an

  • Selling a home, the new way

    My brother is selling his home in sunny Florida. He called me and asked if I’d put together a quick web site to facilitate that, and give those interested a quick way to view some photos and general information about the home. So, we setup 6410aberdeen.com as a way to do that. It’s simple, to
