We had some new friends from church over for dessert and games last weekend. We realized that we don’t have the phone numbers of too many people in Springfield (probably only 4-5 people we’ve met here). I’m a pastry fiend. If I ever decided to go to culinary school it would be for training in bread and pastry making. I’ve …

I’ve got to start making these posts in a more timely manner. It’s been over a week since my last post and I’m going to be making three today. We’ll see how well I do with the regular posting thing.

I’ve had advertising on this blog in the past. Heck, the Powell’s links on the home page are technically advertising. The AdSense ads were clearly advertising. Sometimes my posts border on advertising. Site comments are not, nor have they ever been advertising. The legitimate ads on this site (Google, Powells, my posts) are fundamentally different from comment advertising. They are …

Moving day is fast approaching. The bar exam is next week and we’ll be moving on Friday, July 30th. Even though posting is generally sparse it may be more so for the next few weeks. While I absolutely HATE moving, I’m actually quite excited about the move. It means that there will be a lot of new restaurants to try, …

I’m a huge fan of pizza of just about all types. Not necessarily toppings, but crust/cooking styles. I like New York style pizza, deep dish Chicago style pizza, even thin St. Louis style pizza. My favorite by far though is the wonderfully crispy pizza that you can get in the pizzarias all over Europe that advertise their wood fired ovens. …

Today is our last day on Hilton head. I’m really wanting to get a sailboat for part of the day, but I don’t think it’s going to happen. It is kind of expensive and Sarah doesn’t think I’ve sailed recently enough. In other news Wall’s BBQ was not all I’d hoped it would be. I’ve come to the conclusion (and …

We spent yesterday lounging around the condo before going kyaking in Broad Creek. On the way to the kyak place ate lunch at a very nice southwestern restaurant (not surprisingly called Santa Fe). I’ve not had good fish tacos since I was last in San Diego. These were exceptional. They were made with blackened grouper rather than a fried fish …

Sarah and I are taking a much needed vacation with her family this week. We’re staying in a condo in the Sea Pines Resort on Hilton Head Island. It’s quite nice. We’ve seen the gator in the pond/lake/lagoon behind our condo several times already. There is a bird that is quite loud every morning, not so good for the sleeping. …

Every so often I do a whois on kerner.com to see if it has recently expired and I might be able to snatch it up. Imagine my surprise this morning when I noticed that it has a new owner. Until recently it had always been owned by some insurance like organization (the Kerner Insurance Group or something similar). Today the …

I’m not sure if anybody still reads this blog. I know that the page views have gone down substantially. If anybody wonders it’s because I’ve been overly busy at work lately. We’ve adjusted our strategy to focus more on knowledge management rather than just training. The Educara web site has also gotten quite a makeover. I’m actually excited about this …
