Sean tells me that he has decided to move to North Carolina in the near future. He has gotten quite serious with a young lady who lives there, and he is tired of the long distance relationship. So he has started looking at homes for sale in Wilmington, NC. He is hoping that he can transfer within his company and has put in a transfer request. That’s one of the great things about working for a large organization, you can often transfer from one location to another without any loss of pay or benefits.
I really don’t know very much about North Carolina other than the fact that my wife has a friend that lives there and it is a state that we drive through on our way to Florida! So Sean and I started looking at a realtor’s website to see what the price range of houses are, and what the schools are like. The website had some interesting features that I liked in relation to the rating of the area schools. Not that Sean is planning to have any rug rats in the near future, but if you are going to invest in real estate you want to make sure that the place you buy is in a good school district. That helps to maintain a good resale value.
Now that Christmas is over with and some folks received cold hard cash or gift cards for gifts there are plenty of people that are now ready to buy some nice merchandise for themselves for a change. A good buddy of mine is now looking online for motorcycles for sale, he would like to be on the road come spring and that is hopefully right around the corner at this point. I can only hope that he finds a Harley Davidson and not some Japanese bike. Keep it American!
The Internet is a great way to find items, so it only makes sense to look for the perfect motorcycle or ATV or any type of transportation for that matter. I used to have a motorcycle but times got hard and I started running out of time for riding it and keeping it up each riding season and ended up selling it. That was before the Internet had made buying and selling items so much easier, I’m sure I would have taken advantage of it and probably would have made out much better than I did back then.
Evidently, it is state law that children must be seated in car seats and booster seats until they are 9 years old. That seems really ultra-conservative to me. As a kid, we had seat belts in the car, which we rarely used. And car seats were only used for babies under a year old. Once the kids could sit up straight and stay buckled into the back seat, my parents tossed the car seat out.
We all made it just fine without car seats in our toddler and childhood years – I wonder why the Government has decided to force us to use car seats for such a long time? I think the parents should have some discretion in how they want to transport their own kids.

I had never considered Greece as a possible vacation destination, but after watching a documentary on the ancient Greeks on cable, I was inspired enough to take my holiday in Athens along with a girlfriend of mine. Neither of us were disappointed.
After a long flight, we landed at the Athens airport and took a taxi into the city to the hotel. We were on fairly strict budgets, so the hotel extremely basic, but it was central and clean, so that was enough. For the most part, the few days we spent in Athens were spent walking. Since it was our first visit, our main goal was to see the Acropolis, and walking from the hotel, it was almost always in clear view. We just kept walking towards it, taking in everything we saw on our way. As we drew near, we were overwhelmed by its size and beauty, even though it was under restoration work. What a magnificent complex! There is so much to see there – the Parthenon, Temple of Athena, the Theater of Dionysus, and more. We spent several hours there before finally heading back to the hotel, stopping along the way at a small, family-run restaurant for some mousaka, Greek salad, and a little retsina accompanied by some traditional bouzouki music. It was a fantastic day that I will always remember.
