Out With the Old, In With The New

Jun 22, 2008 Author: David | Filed under: Personal

Since this is also a personal blog, I sometimes will talk about purely personal things. And this post will be case in point.

My reaction? Ehh.

You get what you pay for.
This old adage is and always will be true. And one thing that proves it is the hotel I am sitting in right now. I am sitting in the Quality Inn over in Kissimmee, FL. My wife is over here to take a test for her engineering career and I [...]

Why I Do It

Apr 11, 2008 Author: David | Filed under: Personal
