No more posts about coffee and names?

A friend recently mentioned that my blog doesn't come up with any new name stories from coffee shops or other establishments where one is forced to surrender his or her name to get some food or drink. Well, to make a long story short. I gave up. When I go to a coffee shop now I use my son's name. It has only three letters and you pretty much write it as it sounds. What's the name you want to know? It's Ben. No, not short for Benjamin, just Ben. Not surprisingly, I have yet to encounter a Barista or burrito shop employee that cannot spell the name Ben. Maybe I will give my name another try here and there and if I encounter an original spelling I will post it here, I promise. Now, back to work.

It's been a while ...

... since I last posted but times are busy. Trying to keep the kids healthy during winter time is no easy task and I am enjoying work as well, so sometimes there isn't a lot of time for other things. However, I did find this amazing version of "Lie in our Graves" by the Dave Matthews Band with a special appearance of Trey Anastasio. Take a look and listen:



On a different note, with the presidential primaries in full swing it's hard not to notice a thing here and there. When reading a bit about Mike (or is it Mick, eh, who cares) Huckabee, I came across some Chuck Norris facts. Pretty funny, Mick (or Mike) Huckabee not so much, more scary than funny. Very much like the whole republican field of candidates, with one notable exception and that would have to be Ron Paul. Anyway, enough politics. Let's just hope we don't get another religious nut in the white house.
