Required Reading – September 2 2011

Here’s something new for ya.  A daily dose (maybe) of required reading.  Something quick, something necessary, something funny, something beautiful.  Something I’d like to share with you. Not sure if I’ll find an article/post/video worthy of your time every single day, so don’t actual expect this daily. Kinda like a […]

Revisiting One of My Favorites

Read this.  Then return.  I’ll wait… Done?  Good.  Continue… One year later, I’ve yet to pull off anything spectacular.  I guess I was kinda close to making a Brewers v. Phillies / Packers opening kickoff getaway happen for next week but really I could make the money or the times […]

Outlawed. Recalled. You get the […]

OWTK’s Helpful Idea: It’s Never Too Early To Christmas Shop

Seriously. With sites like Kids.Woot, Groupon and Living Social, plus dozens of other local deal-centric internet hubs, you should really be taking 90-seconds every morning to peruse and ponder the potentially perfect present possibilities; be it a product, like a toy, or a service like dance lessons or an afternoon […]
