The title here is pretty serious. What I’m about to tell you has really changed my life for the better. Are you ready? Here it is:
I stopped using an alarm clock several months ago.
I don’t mean that I used my cell phone as an alarm instead, or that I found some other way to artificially [...]
I’m pretty sure I never mentioned my encounter with Bow Tie Tim during my brief employment with Belton Schools. He is called thusly due to a predilection for bowties. He applied for a “webmaster” position we had. I won’t go into the story of why webmaster is in quotes, but the fact that nobody is [...]
We bought a house.
It’s a beautiful Victorian built in the late 1800’s which was completely remodeled 5 years ago. It sits on a double corner lot in NE Kansas City in a beautiful neighborhood of historic homes. It’s truly amazing!

Everyone can rest easy tonight knowing I have slain what was probably some kind of god of cockroaches. It was the size of a bus. OK, not really. But it was abnormally large. Everybody can expect cockroaches worldwide to be demoralized at the loss and to fall into anarchy. So, go ahead and just leave [...]
I just got really motivated and decided to clean up. As a part of this, I decided to go out and clean out the glovebox of the Suburban - it’s been more or less parked in one spot since I got my new car.
I knew I had earned a lot of parking tickets in the [...]
Here are some photos of the house Jamila and I are considering buying.
If you are a realtor, it’s good to remember that you make money by selling property. One factor that weighs heavily in the decision whether someone trusts you enough to buy property with you is your friendliness.
