Thanksgiving Day has come and gone, and I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday. My wife and I had a great time visiting family. We spend Black Friday on the road coming home from our visit with family - but we wouldn’t have gone shopping anyway.
Here are a few of my favorite [...]

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I would like to congratulate the winners of the first giveaway on my site! There were a total of 24 entrants, so the odds of winning were pretty good.
The winners were chosen by entering their names into an Excel spreadsheet, assigning each name a unique number, and using a random number generator [...]

I believe entrepreneurship is the backbone of America’s economy and a huge part of what makes our nation so wonderful. To celebrate entrepreneurship, I am giving away a copy of The Engine of America, a book about the secrets of building a successful small business.

This Sunday is Veterans Day. I would like to extend a sincere thanks to everyone who has served in our country’s military, or loved someone who has served. I salute you.

This weekend, I changed the theme to my site. The changes are mostly cosmetic, but I also added a few other tools to make the site run a little better and have a few more features. Overall, I think the site has a cleaner look, and a little better functionality. If you are reading this [...]

There are many things I am thankful for in my personal [...]

Ahhh, the weekend is here again, and it’s time for me to catch up on my reading. I’ve got to read up on a few of my favorite personal finance blogs (check my blogroll for sites I highly  recommend!), and I’ve got a couple books to read - be sure to look for a book [...]

This week was a busy week at work for me. In fact, I ended up sitting at my computer until 9pm Friday night just so I could finish everything before the weekend hit. Fun, I know… It felt like I was stumbling along all week. So, I decided to keep stumbling.

I got my free 4 GB iPod Nano from Key Bank yesterday. When I signed up, the Key Bank account specialist told me it might be just before Christmas by the time I received my iPod. That sounded like a long time, and thankfully I received it much more quickly. So, now I am the [...]
