Luxury vacation

I understand that envy is one of the big “sins.”  I also understand that we are ALL “sinners!”  At least that is what the marquee in front of the local churches claim!

Well, in this economy, it is hard not to envy the people that can afford any kind of luxury, isn’t it?  Many people are not even able to afford the luxury of going away somewhere on vacation, and are using their vacation time from work as “staycations” and stay at home and try to entertain themselves locally.

For those lucky folks that can afford a luxury vacation, but want to save some money by reducing their travel time and cost, an Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Hotel just might be the answer to their vacation requirements.  By staying in one of the many Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Hotels you can still have your luxury vacation away from home.  There are a lot of fun attractions to keep a vacationer that is staying in a Myrtle Beach Hotel busy and happy.  There are shows, amusement parks, golf courses, and of course the lure of the ocean.

All within a day’s drive of many east coast cities and towns.  A great way to have a great vacation without spending too much money.

Series finale of Monk

I love the television show Monk. Tonight is the series finale of the show, and I am definitely planning to watch it! Today is a Monk marathon on television and it is a good chance for me to catch some of the shows that I’ve missed. I really wish that it was not the series finale; I am going to miss that show a lot! I love how the show takes on so many twists and turns and how Monk, even with all of his phobias, manages to be a productive member of society. I think that it is an inspiration to all of us, demonstrating that everyone has a niche that they could find and use to benefit the world.

Attention NFL sports fans

Did you know that you can get a great deal on the nfl sunday ticket program that Direct TV offers?  The nfl sunday ticket price gives you the opportunity to watch over 200 nfl games over the nfl season!  That is a LOT of football!  According to their nfl sunday ticket schedule, you can watch up to sixteen games every week!

And you can keep tabs on the scores of all of the games without missing a single play of the favorite game you are watching!  Isn’t technology great!

Ladies, this is a great way to make sure your hubby is entertained while you go off and play with your Red Hat lady friends, getting dressed up and going out to tea while your hubbies are safely glued to the sofa watching their favorite games!  All you have to do is make sure there is plenty of food and drink for him to grab when he wants it, and he won’t miss you for a moment!  Heck, he won’t even realize you are gone!

Compatability

When the personal computer first came on the scene, back in the 1980′s we had a hard decision to make – Apple or IBM.  They were incompatable with each other.  Many consumers preferred the ease of the Apple, but many businesses went with IBM.  Well, I should clarify that a little bit I think – there were a lot of creative businesses that went with Apple, but the nuts and bolts number crunchers tended to go with IBM.  Anyway, the operating systems were so different that you could not file share, and this was a big problem.

At some point in time along came some geniuses who created the PDF file.  The PDF file can be read by both systems.  Even Linux!  A miracle!  Opening up the lines of communication.  Along with the invention of the PDF came the need for software for pdf conversion.  This type of software makes it possible to convert pdf to word or to convert word to pdf.  It also allows users to edit the pdf file directly.  This solves many problems between the different operating systems.  Now maybe we can all get along!

The smell of freshly baked bread

My wife baked some fresh home made bread this morning. The aroma of it baking just about drove me crazy! I love the smell of it cooking. I start to hover around the oven, waiting like a vulture for the bread to come out and be devoured. Yes, I know it takes a couple of minutes for it to cool, but it doesn’t get too much of a chance! In no time at all I have the bread board, the bread cutting knife and fresh butter ready for the attack! A slice of fresh-baked, still warm from the oven bread is about the closest thing to heaven I can think of!
