It’s time to take a hiatus from the blogosphere for a just a little bit. I must say, it’s tough to get away from the pull of the net. I need to concentrate on other non-internet related projects at this moment in time. I don’t have a timetable when I’ll return, but the site is [...]
After switching television providers from DirecTV to Comcast, I now have the luxury of having the Tour de France delivered on my television every night courtesy of OLN.

No one has claimed [...]
My knowledge of internet sites providing airline deals is a bit stale. For years I’ve relied on Priceline, Expedia, Travelocity, Orbitz and Hotwire. Recently, I helped a friend find a good airline deal online, so I whipped out my usual list of websites. But, I found them to be inadequate. I had to jump from [...]
