What are you doing today…

Tuesday, February 14th, 2006

…for your significant other? I invited Miss Nancy out for dinner. She told me she would rather eat at home tonight. Good choice considering how busy and unavailable most restaurants are today.
So, I will cook for her. I found some nice T-Bone steaks on sale at Frys in Tucson yesterday, USDA Choice for $3.99/pound. Shameful […]

What’s your home worth?

Monday, February 13th, 2006

Zillow.com is a website that gives you an estimate of home valuations. Enter your street address, zip code and check out the results.

Not in my neighborhood!

Sunday, February 12th, 2006

I came across this website and almost dismissed it as something that wouldn’t be useful to people in Green Valley. After all, aren’t we all law-abiding seniors?

Saturday, February 11th, 2006

Here’s something we could all read and try to apply.
When you’ve written something strong and personal, before posting, re-read it and pause for a few moments. Re-read what you’ve written and imagine that someone said what you’ve said, about you. Would you like it? Would you feel it was fair? Or would you feel angry? […]

New bikes with forward pedals

Saturday, February 11th, 2006

Our bikes, matching Schwins from over twenty years ago, patiently hang from hooks in our garage. Even with the addition of larger seats, they were still a PIA to ride. Seniors especially should love these crank forward models.
American bicycle sales have skyrocketed in the wake of Lance Armstrong’s multiple wins at the Tour de France, […]
