I posted about a scam. I was contacted by a producer of syndicated reports and then interviewed by a local KING5 Sr. Photographer. Yesterday I got a call from a good friend, who mentioned to me that his parents saw the news clip while they were on vacation in Florida. Today I noticed an increase [...]

I think I’m just not in the mood to go out this weekend. Right now, I’m a no show with some friends at an Irish pub. I drove by, and saw the long line to get in, and to wait in the rain. I’m just not in the mood. It is kind of funny to [...]

Q: So, what do you feel like after a full week at your new job? A: Right now I feel peaceful and quiet. After work I got a few groceries and then headed home to watch some March Madness. Then I caught up on reading some blogs. (There is a ton of garbage out there and [...]
