Saturday, February 17th, 2007

Jason (my partner in crime at Rapid Results) has been ACTIVELY involved in the goings-on in Perry Township (Indianapolis Star’s recent Editorial).  He’s setup and administered a couple of very active websites in response to the concerns: WeSupportWilliams and TakeBackPerrySchools.  I have listened to radio shows discuss what has gone on, read the Star’s frequent [...]

RANDOM Thoughts

Thursday, July 6th, 2006

2) I’ve watched approximately 15 minutes of World Cup Soccer (and was a paid coach for two years). Not that soccer isn’t worth watching…but World Cup just hasn’t caught me up in it’s [...]

Victimless ‘Crime’

Friday, June 16th, 2006

We’ve (nearly) moved

Wednesday, February 1st, 2006

Technically, I guess, we have already moved. I mean, all of our stuff is at the new house. But a lot of MY stuff is still in-process. Technically, I guess, it’s been sitting in the same place for about 3 weeks, but it isn’t where it belongs so I’m calling it “in-process”. [...]
