Here Come The Canes
My car seemed to be controlling me yesterday. I drive by the RBC Center everyday on my way home from work. Yesterday, seemingly on auto pilot, I got off the highway at Edwards Mill Road and headedinto the RBC parking lot. What was I doing? Trying to capture the excitement that the Carolina Hurricanes have [...]
Tropospheric Ducting, Say What?
It was hard to get the scores of the late night games when I was heading into to work early Monday and Tuesday morning. You see the sports station I was listening to, was being overridden by an oldies station, as Cubs 3 Arizon….became “My Girl, talking about My Girl” (Feel free to hum along)
What [...]
Just Shred It; But What Is, It?
Three trucks in Durham helped shred folks’ documents last Saturday. Our station sponsored its Shred-It event. I got to meet a lot of nice people who brought in boxes and bags of documents.
I define documents as bank statements, medical forms, etc. The trend here is it’s paper. Well, every time we do this we get other [...]
Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing
I have some crumbled blue or “bleu” cheese in our frig. I like the sharp bite from that flavorful cheese. I looked up some salad dressing recipes to make some homemade chunky blue cheese dressing. They all were the creamy style.
Yesterday while craving a salad and some blue cheese, I took the lazy way out [...]
Siesta Savings
With an early dismissal from school yesterday, my daughter and wife wanted to go out to lunch. Due to some appointments we didn’t get to go until 2pm. Having a late lunch, however, turned out to be very economical.
We ate Mexican and Terero’s and they have a big sign, that I never noticed before, talking about [...]
Inhaling Chocolate
I have been eating a lot of chocolate lately, thanks to the Easter Bunny. I enjoy both milk and dark chocolate. The problem with chocolate is it is dense in calories. Therefore, moderation is the key. What if you could enjoy chocolate without any calories?
I read about a scientist that is trying to develop a [...]
Seafood Favorite Is Back
While at the beach last I year; I noticed that a usual fish staple, flounder, was not being offered at most restaurants. One of my favorite fish, fresh flounder at the beach can’t be beat. I found out that the prices were very high last year as there seemed to be a shortage.
So that got me thinking, [...]
Sawed Off Entertainment Center
Yesterday, after unscrewing every possible screw from our entertainment center, I finally decided it was time to saw. I have over 40 screws on a side table to prove it. My best discovery was unscrewing the back, so no cut was needed there.
Our entertainment center became out-dated last week when we bought a wide-screen television [...]
Wacky Weather Out West
This is why I love my job, the weather always gets people talking. Or in this cast shoveling….
As we get ready for a beautiful weekend and get out doors whether in the back yard or the beach, winter is raging in Colorado. They are expecting feet of snow through Saturday. Here is a picture from [...]
Remodeling The Entertainment Center
When I bought my big screen television last weekend, my old entertainment center became obsolete. It couldn’t fit the 46″ tv in its cubby.
With the advent of large screen televisions; I know that my old amoire style entertainment center is not in demand, plus it is heavier than….
Therefore, I have decided not to sell it, I [...]
