If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well. »» Martin Luther King, Jr.

Posted on December 10, 2007 - Filed Under Personal Finance | Leave a Comment

For the last few months I’ve been billing around 550 hours per month at my day job. As a in-home caregiver I don’t get overtime pay, nor am I limited to a 40 hour work week.

Received a great email (and invitation) from a male reader whose blushing bride has been researching Chicago Weddings behind his back. Here this guy was just cruising along, thinking everything was great in the long term engagement he’d entered into a few months earlier. He was exceedingly thankful for the article from the 1Weddingsource wedding directory that I wrote about a…

Posted on December 10, 2007 - Filed Under Aahz | Leave a Comment

I came into my Wordpress dashboard to start posting this morning and suddenly realized it had been a full week since I last posted! it surely doesn’t feel like a week has passed, but I guess time does fly when you’re having fun.

CNN continued its history of providing political theater rather than either political news or commentary last week with the latest Republican Presidential Debate. They supposedly teamed up with YouTube to gather questions from the masses for the candidates to answer. But, according to Wired, it was all another sham-

Posted on December 2, 2007 - Filed Under Shopping | Leave a Comment

I recently received a sample package from The Gold Medal Wine Club. This was a bit ironic since I don’t drink (though not nearly ironic as my having worked in a liquor store for three years as a non-drinker). But I do love giving gifts, so it was still a wonderful treat to receive. The package was the latest of Gold…
