Hey all, finally back at a computer again. Had my acoustic neuroma removal done on Thursday, August 25th. Everything went well that day, I think it was about a 4 hour procedure. I spent the night in the neurosurgery ICU, and moved to a recovery bed on Friday night. Post-surgery scans were...
I've been pretty MIA for several months now (probably will be for a while to come) but wanted to update people on what's going on. I know a couple of you have caught bits of it that I've posted on my FB page, but here's the full version.
For about 9-10 months now I've been having some fairly...
Sorry all, I haven't been around much lately. Just got word on Sunday that my grandmother passed away that morning. I hadn't seen her in several years, and feeling really bad because of that. I miss her. She lived a good, long life though. 89 years old, and the sweetest woman you could ever...
I haven't been around much the last two weeks, between my business trip up to MN/WI and then catching up at work last week. To top off all that activity, I just received some bad news tonight about my grandfather.
My mom had to take him to their local hospital yesterday after he had been...
Just finished my first JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) Walk for the Cure today. In past years, I've always donated to the company team but didn't participate in the walk itself. It was a great experience, and the turnout really surprised me. I didn't expect nearly as many people...
I know we have a good-sized Mac fanbase here on the site. Interesting little tidbit from this year's pwn2own at the CanWestSec Conference. It took 5 seconds for the Mac to go down:
This one just amazes me. How could the referees blow one like this? Not only did the St. Johns player travelled then run out of bounds with time on the clock, but he also threw the ball up into the crowd. At the least, the clock stops and Rutgers takes the ball back. There should have also...
Since I had to be with to pick up my Christmas present this year (Heather couldn't lift it alone), I got it a little early. She picked out a new Kenmore dual grill - one side charcoal fired, the other is gas w/3 burners.
Now I need to get a cover, propane tank, charcoal, grilling utensils, etc...
Had a great time in the Orlando area today with Spank & Calebt17. Started the day at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, where Spank met me at the Taylormade Burner 2.0 event. I have to say, that is one fine set of irons. I fell in love with how they felt - one of the best I've hit all year and still...
Ok, so I lost track during the summer hubbub with everyone saying the Big 12 would disintegrate, and who else is moving conferences. Here are the ones I'm pretty sure of, can anyone fill me in on what I might have missed?
Colorado & Utah moving to Pac-10
Nebraska moving to Big-10
Boise State...
Just about time to head out. Myself and the 15 other managers at my office that handle the Great Lakes region are all headed to a Habitat for Humanity worksite to volunteer today. Great cause - but I'm trying to figure out which sadistic individual decided to set this up for the middle of...
I know this question has come up in the past, with people looking for a pair of golf flip-flops. Saw these in my email today from Rock Bottom Golf, and had to share just in case anyone is still on the lookout. They even have removable Champ Stinger spikes!

Just got home tonight from an overnight trip to Detroit for our 2010 Ford Dealer Intro Show. I had an absolute blast. Was able to meet 15 of my dealers that attended, and got to see a lot of what's coming for the company. Lots of big changes in the works, both from a product standpoint as...
I've officially been given the green light to get fit for a new driver to replace my Nickent 4DX Tour. It's been an on-and-off relationship with the 4DX, so happy to be making a change.
Today was a complete club-gasm. The local Golf USA held a the biggest demo day I've been lucky enough to...
I'm hoping someone can help out with this. I'm finally breaking down and planning to pick up a wireless router when we get a new laptop for my fiance in the next month or less to use when she goes back to school this fall. That way we aren't tethered to the wired router with her laptop & my...
After a week that's felt pretty ho-hum at work, I finished it off with a bang this morning. Arrived at work and plugged my laptop into it's docking station at my desk. Hit the power button, it goes through the usual first couple screens then blanks before the dreaded message appears...
With the storm rolling into the MN/WI area, I'm a little scared I may end up stuck at the Atlanta airport waiting for my connecting flight to Minneapolis for a while tomorrow, but am hoping I catch a break with the storm. :angel:
I hope everyone else traveling has better luck than mine seems...
