A Dead Horse and ‘No Comment’, Of Course

Wow, it’s February already! If you are looking for the previous posts, go to the Archives tab in the sidebar on the right and click on January 2012.

Regarding the previous post about cost and value of the stuff we buy, here is a more balanced view: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57367030-37/wont-buy-apple-products-anymore-then-dont-stop-there/?tag=txt;title

I didn’t have much luck pulling y’all into the discussion, so I will leave the dead horse by the side of the road and move on to other commerce.

I sold another Santa, am counting my nickels and starting to ready the income taxes – one of my great joys of the season.

My latest adventure was joining the Colorado Springs Chinese Cultural Institute as a result of the Year of the Dragon Festival they held at the City Auditorium. Who knows, you might get a future post from the Mundys-as-tourists on the Yangtze River.

The tribute site I (we) built to Gladys Hawley (Cathy’s Mom) is starting to shape up and new material is on the way. I am getting more used to this new software and sure appreciate the 24/7 support I’ve gotten from GoDaddy’s tech people.

Most of my ‘free’ time has been spent trying to organize our 50th high school reunion. We sure have been a mobile bunch, but search engines and skip-tracers seem to have been equally active. One of the committee members confirmed locations of over 300 classmates! Another has taken the laborious route of checking property records and city directories. (You can run, but you cannot hide…). However, even with fast computers, it’s slow business, and then you have to call them to confirm and try and get email addresses so we can save on postage. Often we get an earful as former classmates describe in detail how much they hated high school, hated us, and hate any form of reunion. Jeesshhh….lighten up….that was 50 YEARS AGO!!!
