Tuesday, January 29th, 2008Ran into a colleague today that was just returning from a medical leave. Emergency surgery to repair a compressed disk or nerve or something that could paralyze him with just the right action. Turns out he got a replacement part from a cadaver and he’s good to go.
Thank you for that contribution.
Don’t forget […]
Manipulation
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008Sunday’s 60 minute episode featuring the story of FBI agent George Piro and the interrogation of Saddam Hussein fascinated my simple mind.
First let’s talk about Agent Piro. Handsome, Lebanese, scary mind control and fluent in Arabic.
The subject of weapons of mass destruction was the most important mystery Piro was trying to answer. It would take […]
Goose It!
Saturday, January 26th, 2008Might be a good morning to step outside to the tune of Santana and Chad Kroeger. Birds are cheeping and we’ve been a penguin this week.
Management at the UA (Undercover Assignment) tries to suppress this natural human urge to grow your fur out. I’m not crazy about beards either.
Gentleman, friendly reminder that […]
Life After Google
Thursday, January 24th, 2008Specifically, Ad Words. I still love the Google channel.
Last January was a record breaking month for sales for Urngarden, however, due to a heavy advertising schedule, our bottom line was less than impressive.
Phase two of the Great Google Experiment consists of monitoring first quarter activity without running an adwords campaign or advertising on Amazon. This […]
Jesus Take The Wheel
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008So yesterday was a little slick, a thin glaze that made the morning commute a little dicey. The Grey Goose handled beautifully through the red light as I narrowly avoided a cargo van turning left in front of me, as well as oncoming traffic.
After a “Holy Sh*t!”, we prayed for divine intervention and skated right […]
The Greatest Gift
Monday, January 21st, 2008 Friday’s yoga session made me think about my lungs. How lucky and grateful I am for my functional set. So why do I knowingly abuse them? Sickening.
If something were to happen to me, would they be of any value? I’ve instructed Mr. Greenjeans that in the event of my demise, to make […]
Power Rangers
Thursday, January 17th, 2008We decided to push it on the elliptical machine this week, and nearly stroked out. A couple of people wanted to know if I’d been crying. It was that bad. Not my best look.
Whenever I encounter a dedicated fit person, if they’ll allow it, I shake their hand and try to download some […]
Filling the Niche
Thursday, January 17th, 2008Hal from Cocoa Beach called today (70 degrees and raining) looking for a wood dual capacity cremation urn for a military niche at the naval academy.
A tricky task indeed if you’ve never shopped for a companion urn. Academy regs state that no more than three urns to a niche. The dimensions he is working […]
Act Now
Wednesday, January 16th, 2008Tim had an interesting post on Final Embrace regarding internet shoppers and how they’ve affected the funeral industry. The internet has made a dent in the funeral director’s world. But the funeral director needs to look in the mirror.
Cue up Cher, “If I Could Turn Back Time”. On the local scene I’ve interviewed […]
Campaign Trail
Wednesday, January 16th, 2008Yesterday, John McCain stopped in at a funeral home in Michigan on a last minute campaign stop….
The trip to a funeral home was a bit surprising for such a superstitious campaign. McCain later joked about the visit in his first rally today, noting he and his wife Cindy got a chance to visit the funeral […]
