It’s funny to see the expression on her face when I bring something new home that I want to put in the house.  She doesn’t want to hurt my feelings because she sees how excited I am about my “find.”  But I can tell by the way she pauses before speaking and the expression on her face that she really doesn’t want what I brought home.  I wonder if I’m acting out some passive aggressive feelings when I do that!

My wife bought a new outdoor swing that has an awning over the top of it and cup holders in the arms.  She’s been wanting one of those for a few years now, and was using the party as an excuse to buy it.  I wasn’t very happy about it at the time, but it sure is more comfortable than the folding chairs we’ve been using the past few years.

Now the countdown begins.  I’m looking forward to a great time!

Yesterday Tom was presenting about his Internet services business.  He was talking about how he was going to be holding free classes for the members of our group so we could become more computer and Internet savvy.  He plans to teach us topics such as web hosting, blogging, buying domains, managed hosting, keywords, colocation, tags, and marketing strategies geared towards the Internet.  I think it’s a good way for Tom to promote his business, don’t you?

I think that is part of the problem with our struggling economy – too many of our industrial jobs have left the country and gone overseas to countries with lax environmental laws and cheap labor.  Well, this post wasn’t going to be preachy about our economy….. but it turned out that way!

Summer is almost over and I don’t have any vacation days left for this year, but I would like to look into visiting Myrtle Beach next summer. I have not been there for a good long while and it would be good to see how it has changed since I’ve been there last. I enjoy the ocean and enjoy a good challenging game of golf and Myrtle Beach has both of these qualities.

I was online earlier and found a website http://avistaresort.com that is advertising some nice looking and sounding resorts in Myrtle Beach that I’d love to stay at next year. It is great that the Internet makes find a good Myrtle Beach hotel a much easier task to tackle. I have plenty of time to find the perfect accommodations and will keep you posted on what I discover.

I know that in the city that I grew up in the city had the street addresses painted on the curbs to help with this type of issue, but I imagine that with all of the budget cut backs most places can’t afford to take on the cost of something like that. So it is up to the individual resident to make sure that they properly display the numbers, and for their own good.
