Have you seen the Chicago Sears Tower piece that’s been running on TV? Oh man, take some Dramamine to get thru it. They have redesigned the observation deck with glass floors that extend beyond the building by 10 feet. OK, that is freaky scary and makes my stomach turn just thinking about it. I was giggling at how kids just love it and we adults are always in wonderment at their fearless and inspiring spirits.

If you’re a parent, would you let your kids stand on that glass?

How many times have you swallowed a delicious swig of water from a water bottle that’s been in hanging around for a couple days? You know, the water bottle that sits in the car for a few days and you sip on it occasionally like a hamster milking a water spicket.

I have this strange debacle facing me that every time I hit the print button on my computer I’m going un-green.
I learned my lesson didn’t I? God may have yanked on my ear lobe and yet based on my printing paper spend, I’m not sure I learned the lesson.
I loaned some money from my brother years ago, back when 3 houses just wasn’t quite enough. I’m making payments on the loan and stroll into Wells Fargo to deposit my satchel of coins for my dear brother who loves me so much he trusted me to pay him back.
