My grandfather always kept mantel clocks in every room of his house. But my favorite perched on the top of his amazing roll-top desk and looked a lot like this-
My apartment has the perfect spot for a mantle clock, but I have been unable to find one that matches my roommate’s modern furniture. Until now, that is, as I was just led to 1-800-4clocks where I came across this stunning update of my grandfather’s clock-
I absolutely love this clock. It’s simple yet…

The Postie Carnival was posted today over at My Thoughts And Ramblings. on the theme of “What I Did Over My Summer Vacation”. Well, as y’all know, my summer sucked. So instead of submitting one of the depressing pieces from this summer, I sent in Seven Miles From Gorda.

Being a much more laid back “I promise it’ll get done” type of guy, this has been a difficult transition for me. But I finally found a tool to make it easy.

What’s that? You say, it’s a stupid reason to fire an employee? Possibly, but if that’s the case then the business will suffer for it and, ultimately, fail unless they change their ways. Hmm? It’s not fair? Why not? We’re talking about a private business…
