Post Card from the Edge

Capital Sam got a post card from his Uncle Kyle who is in Arizona this week. He was happy. So happy, he wanted to eat it...

Thanks, Uncle Kyle!

A New Grill!

The wife and I got a new grill this weekend. It's been quite the needed thing, provided we want to grill outside... which we do. I decided to document the assembly, poorly, and share it.



Good times. Here's the inaugural steaks:

I spoke with a good friend of mine yesterday. We worked together when I first moved to Greenville in several incarnations of companies and he's since moved on to his greener pastures. I wish he were still around... I won't mention his name, since he wishes to remain unanimous, but click here for his FAVORITE GAME.

Welcome to the Palermo's La Famiglia!

It's here! It's here! Everyone knows that the greatest frozen pizza on the earth is Palermo's. And if Palermo's pizza were a diamond ring, the sparkle on that ring would be the Primo Thin Supreme. So in support of this wonderful thing, I've joined the Palermo's La Famiglia (which in Italian means something to do with pizza, I'm guessing) So after joining, I've run to the mailbox everyday in the hopes that my welcome package would arrive. And it did!

Oh, I was as giddy as Ralphie getting his decoder ring... and just as satisfied. It's not the wonderment I had hoped it would be but it's still quite awesome. I got a welcome letter explaining that I should look out for emails with coupons (yes!), a fresh new coupon for 50 cents off the Palermo's of my choice and a Pizza puller/Kitchen ruler! The pizza puller/kitchen ruler even has a magnet on the end for easy fridge attachment. Awesome.

Rock!

My nephews, Ben & Daniel, came to see me this weekend. They're just off the road with AC/DC and my, oh my, the stories they told! They were glad to have a night to settle down with their uncle and just relax. Here they are hard at rock:

Moments in time...

This moment may be brief, but it can be so bright...
Reflected in another source of light.
When the moment dies, the spark still flies...
Reflected in another pair of eyes.

I was sitting at a red light today. I was the first in line waiting to turn left. My mind was replaying the events of the day and what I needed to do once I got home. One of my favorite U2 songs came on the radio, "Where the Streets Have No Name." I turned it up and forgot about all I had going on in my world.

As the light changed for the other traffic at the intersection, I noticed a car turning to it's right on my left, heading the way I had just come from. It was a woman and as she was turning and passing by, I saw her mouth the words: "I want to run... I want to hide... I want to tear down the walls that hold me inside." I know that's what she was saying since it was the lyrics to the very song I was listening to.

The exact same experience at the exact same time... in two different worlds heading in opposite directions.

What do you make of that?
