Thanksgiving reflections

This year more than any in recent memory I have been reflecting on what I am truly thankful for.  This has been a wonderful year in so many ways.

 From wedding planning, to getting married, from enjoying work, to starting a new job with the same company I have a lot to be thankful for.  I can’t help but smile as I look back. I have been incredibly blessed.  While it is fun to look back and reminisce, I can’t help but to be excited for the experiences I will be looking back at next year at this time.

 

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Time for another round of “user” feedback

I have heard my blog has been freezing computers (well just one that I know of at this point). I would be interested to know if anyone else is experiencing trouble.

 

Thanks,

Yoda was a Buddhist

I recently read The Gospel According to Star Wars. Being a Star Wars fan I was excited to read a book with such an interesting premise. The book just wasn’t what I was hoping it would be. To me the title does not seem to be all that serious. While I expected an interesting story I ended up with a “theological” study.
While it was a well written book, I could never get into it. I got stuck on my hopes for a story. If you are interested in a deeper look into the themes of good and evil, the many Christ characters, or how Yoda often presents Buddhist philosophy this is the book for you. If you are looking for a fun Start Wars story this isn’t quite it.

One Free Puppy With Each Purchase

I saw this headline on the news this morning.  Believe it or not, it was for a car repair shop in Wisconsin.  Somehow this does not seem like the best idea considering the rest of the news that was reported after this story.  All of the news was focused on the “economic downturn” or the struggles of the big three automakers.  A give away that asks consumers to spend more these days is not the smartest move.  I appreciate common sense. That is why this caught my attention right away. There does not seem to be too much common sense involved in this gimmick. 

Updates

I have made several updates to my actual blog. (I am guessing most of these will not be visible to anyone who is reading my posts through a reader.)  Among the updates, I have added a bookshelf from shelfari.com, there is a place to submit link suggestions (powered by google docs), there is a fancy icon/link to Chris Brogan's rock star list (where this blog is listed).

As always suggestions/comments/feedback are welcome.

Pictures

I have loaded a few of the wedding pictures from Facebook onto my picture page. Please pass along any pictures you have. Jess and I would love to see them.

Thanks!
