Arbor Lane: December 2010
http://arborlane.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 22, 2010. Some people hate the TSA. I personally think they do a pretty good job and have only one complaint, Why? Why do I have to get to the airport so dang early? TSA suggests you be at the airport 2 hours prior to your flight. This is so if everything goes wrong and you get stopped or delayed at every possible checkpoint, you can still make your flight. But what about the 5 out of 6 times when everything goes perfectly, or close to it? That’s my problem not theirs. When I was youn...

Arbor Lane: el Bed
http://arborlane.blogspot.com/2009/08/el-bed.html
Sunday, August 23, 2009. I used to have a blog. I liked it too. It's name was elBed.com. When I first bought the name, it was going to be a spin-off of a furniture business I had at the time. Then it evolved into a furniture blog intended to make me appear as some sort of furniture industry expert (haha). But, alas, el Bed costs me too much money in maintenance and upkeep fees so I have decided to let it go. It's time to get cheap and go for a blog I can afford. Free, my favorite four letter word.

Arbor Lane: San Francisco
http://arborlane.blogspot.com/2011/04/san-francisco.html
Tuesday, April 26, 2011. But once you get on the streets, with all the gum under foot, the garbage, the grime, and the pee reek in the strangest of places, you start to wonder if this city has never even seen the bristly side of a good scrub brush. I guess this is true though of most of the big cities in this country and the world. They are so attractive and intriguing from a distance. But, when you view them from up close, they are a lot more human than they originally appeared to be.

Arbor Lane: September 2010
http://arborlane.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 11, 2010. In September of 2007, I took a few days off of work. I was going to stay home with my three younger children while my wife, Nancy and our oldest daughter went out of town together. The three days happened to be the 10th, 11th and 12th. Back in the house my children played together in the next room while I sat for few minutes and remembered. Her own mother remembers a December afternoon in 1941 with the same clarity and vividness. Just shut up.". Fighter jets kept flying over...

Arbor Lane: October 2010
http://arborlane.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 20, 2010. I found out about two weeks ago that my time at Fieldstone Homes was at an end. 12 years of sweat, of tears, and yes, blood too, gone. They gave me a week to clean things up and pass of the critical information. My department has now been completely eliminated. I'm okay though. It's been a great run and I'm thankful for the 12 good years I had. Now I'm excited for new opportunities. Here's my resume. It's an odd post, but its what I'm focused on these days. Trained and develo...

Arbor Lane: August 2010
http://arborlane.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 21, 2010. One of the last jobs I had while still in college was as a construction superintendent for a small semi-custom homebuilder. The company was run by three brothers and their dad. Each had very different skills and aptitudes that seamlessly harmonized with one another. This was a well-run business and I was fortunate to work there for a time. I can’t blame anyone but myself for the way things turned out. They took a chance on a young and untested superintendent, and I ju...Even no...

Arbor Lane: June 2010
http://arborlane.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 22, 2010. Today is Kris’ birthday. He would have been 31. On the morning he was born, I was staying with my grandparents. My grandma had to wake Jake and me up to tell us we had a phone call. I held the phone up to my ear as the sun shined through the kitchen window. It was good news. I remember the moment as if it had happened this morning. Links to this post. Monday, June 21, 2010. This is a repost from my old blog that is no more. In almost any building you can find simple things, like v...

Arbor Lane: Daddy's Little Girl
http://arborlane.blogspot.com/2009/10/daddys-little-girl.html
Friday, October 23, 2009. First Posted May 20th, 2009 on el Bed.com. The day was a great experience for both of us. She learned a few things about running a business and balancing a personal checkbook. I got to spend the day with about 100 kids who were having fun at pretending they were big people. We ended up at the restaurant for a snack and some photos of her standing out front. My little CFO daughter, 11 years old today. It's been a long, rough day. Finally, I am home. I’m feeling very beat,. Who ar...

Monday, February 7, 2011. Life is busy these days. Mostly work. Lots and lots of work. Long hours traveling as well as time at the office. It’s good to be busy and it’s really good to have a job. Time has to be reorganized and reallocated. Finances also need to be recalculated, new budgets figured and expenses cut where possible. Well my few minutes are spent. Time to get on a plane. Busy, busy. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Subscribe To Arbor Lane. View my complete profile.
