My brother, Doug, who is in the mortgage business, is doing a series of videos on his blog that answer common questions about mortgages. If you are interested or curious, you should check them out.
First, a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY shout out to strausmouse . For your birthday, I give you warmer weather than you’ve been having lately. You can thank me later. Etc.: I know, it’s been a few days. I’ve had intermittent wireless access and limited time. Nevertheless, I’ve got the backdated posts mostly written and should get them posted shortly.…
Up and into work this morning. It was one of those days that seemed to grow steadily more hectic as the day progressed. I kept an eye on Doug’s flights, and I headed home around lunchtime to wait for him to arrive. They got here shortly after noon, and it was really good to see them. The…
Just wanted to wish Doug and Rachel a very HAPPY ANNIVERSARY. I hope you guys have a great day.
A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY cheer goes out to Doug today. I hope you have a terrific day, one that is perhaps somewhat less hectic than it sounded last night when I spoke to you on the phone. 😉 Happy Birthday, bro.

Today is Doug and Rachel’s 6th wedding anniversary. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, GUYS! Hopefully you get a chance to do something fun to celebrate your big day today.
Almost 11:30 PM and just home from the Happy Hour after our last softball game of the regular season. We lost. Badly. So badly it was hard to take seriously. We finished with a record of 7-2 which places us 3rd in our division and guarantees us a place in the playoffs on September 8th.…
I was thinking that this is my first trip to Europe and that I can remember, when I was younger, wondering when I would end up getting there. So I decided to look back through my diaries and see what I was doing 10 years ago today, July 2, 1997. I don’t think Europe was…
