US Postal Service cell phone finale

21 January 2008

Well, we can put this one to rest. Not long after my last post, I got a call from the friend who experienced the embarassing confrontation at the Post Office while on his cell phone. Turns out he TOO went back and asked for the specifics and proof of this “mystery rule”. Here’s what he discovered…

Update on Cell Phones in Post Offices

8 January 2008

So today I’m at the Post Office waiting in line for the clerk to motion me forward. Nice man, I thought to myself. How about I ask him about this “no cell phone in the Post Office” rule that was so aggressively enforced with my friend just the other night. (see earlier blog post on this [...]

No Cell Phones in the Post Office?

5 January 2008

A friend phoned me up the other night as he stopped by the local Post Office to check his mail. Then abruptly he said, “I’ll have to call you back.” There was some noise in the background, which made me wonder if someone was in the process of “going postal” – but he called back [...]

Monday Saves Flag in Greatest Play in Baseball

Profiling Colorado Killer

12 December 2007

Yes, I live in Colorado Springs, Colorado and yes, our community is stunned from the tragedy that occurred here at New Life Church and in Arvada, Colorado this past weekend. I’m sure it’s probably not much different than the way folks have been feeling in Omaha NE. Or in the countless other communities where senseless [...]

Women Who Speak Up

2 December 2007

My mom hikes with her ladies church group twice a week. These ladies range in age from 40-80 and boy can they move! I have a hard time keeping up with them!

And the great thing about working from home is the ability to take time out and join them on these hikes every so often. [...]

Cyber Bullying Must Stop

27 November 2007

It’s a sad, sad day when any human being takes their own life, but especially so when it’s a 13 year old girl. Megan Meier was the victim of a cruel and very public attack carried out on the Internet. Megan was befriended online by someone she thought was “Josh”, a good looking 16 year old boy. [...]

Colorado Huntress Gets First Buck and Learns Wildlife Management

21 November 2007

As I approached the second half of my life, I decided to reinvent myself and do some things I’d never done before. So, I began accompanying a group of good friends on their elk and deer hunting trips.
Darned if I wanted to spend fall and winter months sitting at home! I also enjoy camping, like to [...]
