Happy Hour

More Sun For Your Money

January 31, 2010

It appears my compadres to the north are getting a nasty snow storm this weekend.  Hang in there.  I’m sure Spring can’t arrive a day too soon for ya.
And I can guess that because I’ve been there.  I remember living in the snow belt prior to the invention of the Snuggie.  The gray skies and [...]

December 20, 2009

December started with a huge disappointment – my father-in-law passed away.  It wasn’t totally unexpected (he was 92) but he was a great guy who will very much be missed.  I was blessed to have terrific in-laws.  A few weeks ago, I put up the HR Bartender Tip Jar to raise money for his favorite [...]

December 2, 2009

Last year, I made my first attempt at writing predictions for the coming year.  And, I must say I was a little nervous about it.  You always want to feel you’re in touch with what’s going on and nail every prediction.  Then at some point, I realized life is all about throwing curve balls.
