Skate Shoes

I have grandsons that are 15, 8, and 7. When I asked them what they would like for Christmas, each of them included skate shoes. But they did not mean the same things. The little boys meant those sneakers that have the wheels in the heels. The older boy meant some of those stylish shoes that are a part of the skate board world.

Changing Times

Back in the late 60's one of the popular fashions was knit bodystockings. I thought they were sexy pieces of clothing. My wife liked them because they were snug and warm. But these days we don't leave much to the imagination anymore and the once modest but sexy garments are provocative pieces of lingerie. This link is more risque than you normally find on my blog, so be advised.

Destination Weddings

Those who own and promote the resorts in exotic locations like the Riviera Maya in Mexico have really come up with a good idea in destination weddings. Couples that are looking for a romantic setting for their wedding would of course be interested. But on top of that, the wedding packages offer to take care of the details of the wedding that are done by the bride and her family in weddings in traditional settings, taking away all the stress in the preparation. And the cost is very comparable to the traditional settings. What is there not to like about that.

Beer Pong Tables

There are so many great ideas that I run across that make me wonder why I didn't think of that, because I could have made so much money or had so much fun. That is how I felt when I heard about beer pong tables. The creator of this game and these game tables probably laughs every time he goes to the bank.

22!

Well, well. I went out on a bit of a limb yesterday and predicted that the Houston Rockets would extend their current winning streak to 22 against the Los Angeles Lakers today. They did! By twelve points, with Rafer Alston scoring 31 points, for a career high. I do not know if Houston will carry it on against Boston on Tuesday, but I see no reason to pick against them!

Hurricane Aftermath

One of the long term impacts of Huricanes Rita and Katrina a couple of years ago is that some of the home insurance companies are no longer writing policies, or they have modified what they will cover. I recently received a notice that my insurer would not renew the wind storm portion of my home owners policy. I had to make a change in carriers after twenty years of doing business with my agent!

Free Flowing Emails!

I don't know why all of a sudden I have started getting emails promoting a colon cleanse. It could be that I have passed a certain birthday, number sixty is rapidly approaching. It could be that I have posted a blog entry for an advertiser whose website is about the subject. My blog has a link to the page. I wonder if that exercise is directly related to the constant flow of uninvited emails on matter.

Beds In Dominica

When we go to Dominica for a mission trip, our team rents an unfurnished house in the village in which we are working. We sleep on mattresses on the floor and take cold showers. We have in the past bought and stored mattresses, but the infestation of bedbugs makes us a bit more concerned about our bedding. We usually get new mattresses and give them to a needy family when we finish with them. That has worked out well for all concerned!

Roy O and the Rest

Roy Oswalt went two innings in his spring training debut, throwing 36 pitches. Most of his pitches yesterday were fastballs. He gave up a walk and a hit, but no runs. I have no doubt that he will be ready for opening day and his first start. It is the rest of the starting rotation that worries me.
