It’s been a few weeks since I’ve posted anything and it feels really weird because I had been on a roll publishing something everyday. But alas years of neglecting my body has caught up with me. No one can sustain themselves on all night binges and running non-stop for the twenty years. So I must slow down and smell the roses as it were.
Ironically my problems began about the same time Marc Orchant passed away (please visit the site for a donation link). I didn’t know Marc personally but knew him him online. It was very sobering to know he wasn’t much older than myself. This has been a personal wake up call. The past week or so I’ve tried to remove myself from stressful situations, reduce my work load and move a little slower. My doctor has put me on a good healthy routine and says my future is up to me.
I appreciate all the well wishes I’ve received, but I am doing fine. I may not be as vocal as I’ve been in the past but I’m still here.
I also wanted to apologize to those who have not been able to get to my site over the past week. Not sure what happened but I think I finally got it all ironed out yesterday. Feedburner also removed all of my RSS subscribers, just when I was trying to increase them. Anyway, if you can, please reconnect to my RSS feed, it should be working now.

The shopping season is upon us. The time of year I dread most. I’m not a shopper. And I have a hard time being around people who are shoppers. Here is how I shop:
I rarely if ever browse. Once in a while I might mosey on back to the electronics to see what is new. I never buy, but I look. I hardly ever buy the impulse items. I feel accosted by all that crap and refuse to buy it. If you have kids you know what I mean.
Now, this is how my wife shops:
OK, some of that is exaggerated. But honestly, the shopping experience during this time of year is very stressful to me. I’m a go in and get it kind of shopper. It’s not that I don’t want to shop, it’s that I can’t stand fighting through crowds to get the big sale items. It’s just not worth it to me.
What about you? How do you shop? How does your significant other or friends shop?

Gordon B. Hinckley, Prophet and President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. What a strong man. True to his convictions. I would love to spend 30 minutes listening to him talk about how important God is to him.
Tony Stewart is one of NASCAR’S best drivers. Consistently in the top of the standing, I really like the way he drives, I love the way he races in various classes besides the Nextel Cup. I just think he’s cool and want to shake his hand.
Steve Jobs is Apple’s CEO. He’s responsible for some of the most significant technology advancements the world has seen. Not only has he developed some incredible technology, but he managed to keep Apple at the top of the industry. I’d take even five minutes in Start Bucks with him.
Mark Cuban is the owner of the Dallas Mavericks and several other technology companies. Mark was able to sell his company Broadcast.com some time ago allowing him to move into other ventures. I have to say of all the people on this list Mark is my least favorite. The reason he’s on my list is because I think he’s a RockStar when it comes to business. He just plays at a different level. I’d buy Mark a hotdog at a Jazz/Mavs game any day.
Colin Powell is a former US Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Powell is a gentle giant. If this guy even runs for President he’ll have my vote. I’d love to shoot a few boxes of 5.56mm rounds with General Powell.
Who would you most like to meet?
