I hurried home on Friday after work to mow the yard. A couple of months ago I had pulled up the existing owners’ flower bed/garden that was edged with landscape timbers and positioned awkwardly in our backyard. I found that there is now a plethora of sweet basil growing from where the bed [...]

I wish I had found this article earlier and I could have saved myself a 20 minute phone call last week. Nine seconds (yes, I had a stop watch) after Elise and I closed on our house, our loan was sold to Washington Mutual. I learned before buying a house to send an [...]
There are two truths in this world: Teeth and taxes.
I haven’t been my normal Seinfeldian self recently with the checkbook. I decided to give the online statement a gander today only to find that *gulp*… we have a lot of month at the end of the money!

Elise and I went to Home Depot (bad) on Saturday to buy a mirror for the finishing touches [...]

Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt
You’ll then need to navigate to where where your music folder is. Thisis old school DOS.
Your command line might read something like this:

I was going to buy a new bicycle this past weekend but John talked me out of it. Instead of dropping $300 on a new bike, he said he’d lend me his. I think this is all because he wants me to spend my money on an iBook (I check daily for release [...]

I mowed the front yard for the first time yesterday afternoon. I grabbed the iPod, the lawnmower, cranked up some Britney Spears and went to mowin’.
“But Josh, why would such a manly man who exemplifies all that which is manly listen to Britney Spears while mowing your lawn?” is what you might [...]
