Hot in Krakow

The weekend was pretty good here in Krakow, Poland. Hot temperatures and plenty of rest. Most of the weekend was spent either sleeping or shopping. I did very little touring as I did not plan anything prior to my arrival. I did however walk past a pretty cool store.
The store was called Szambelan and they [...]

Melons

I had just arrived here in Krakow, Poland last night and had to get a bite to eat and stopped by Szara Restaurant. I walked in and ordered at the bar. I ordered my favorite, the Prosciutto with Melon which I had been craving. I also ordered the Chicken “Yakitori”. I had to wait a [...]

In Poland, not the Sequel

I have arrived in Krakow, Poland. On the way over here I got very lucky. I was bumped up to First Class on Delta from Memphis to Atlanta for being kind and giving someone else my seat. And from Atlanta to Munich I did not have to sit next to anyone and slept at least [...]

Rice Balls

I was watching Food TV and ran across a new show. The show I am talking about is Road Tasted and the shows host are the sons to Paula Dean, another Food TV cook. It seems that they travel all over the USA looking for different food items and then telling you were to get [...]

Made in the USA.

I read the Saturday comics/funnies like I normally do and saw one of the Family Circus where little Billy was trying to find clothing made in the USA. And of course, he was unable to find anything that was made in the USA. I challenge anyone to be able to put together outfits for the [...]

Perfect Grill

I was watching Food TV and Bobby Flay was in Iraq for his show Food Nation. If you are familiar with the show you know that Bobby Flay travels around picking random people to compete against grilling style. While in Iraq he competed against one of the military cooks. The military cook was using this [...]

Take it all off.

I was flipping throughout the channels last night a ran across Fuse. You could almost say it is like MTV or any other music channel. I have watch this channel before while flipping through the channels one before, but it is not a regularly watch channel. Well last night I think I saw something worse [...]

Take it with you.

Working for a big corporation you are usually restricted on what programs you can install on your computer. There are times when you need a program, but it is not on the corporate list of approved programs. I have read about this before, but never thought about it until it was requested that I remove [...]

Mentos Volcano

I know this is wasteful, but it looked like so much fun to do. You can go to Wikihow.com and see how to make your own Mentos Volcano. If you do it right, you can make a Diet Coke spew 10-15 feet in the air. Perfect to do if you are extremely bored or if [...]

A New Want.

I posted on an earlier version of this product a few months ago. The new versions is sans wire, which to me is a great feature. You can keep the main video camera in your backpack or pocket and the lens on your bicycle helmet. The video camera I am talking about is the Samsung [...]

Poison

No way! I am going to miss another concert. I have missed concerts that were in Poland by a few days because I was here in the states. Now I am going to miss a concert here in Memphis, TN because I will be in Krakow, Poland.
The concert will be Poison at the Mud [...]

Timing is everything.

I am so mad. I have been looking at purchasing stock for either PetCo or Petsmart. Well, today PetCo got bought out by an independent company. If I would have purchased yesterday, I would have made and easy $200+ dollars.
I believe that the Pet industry is going to be booming as more and more people [...]

Crazy Fans

I am all for spectators being as close to the Pro athletes, as I hope to be able to go to the France one day to see the Tour de France live. I would enjoy being one of the Crazy Fans, but I know that their needs to be some self restraint.
This year there have [...]

Memphis deeper in the red

For those familiar with Memphis and its terrible business decisions, get ready to add one more to the list. If the deal Memphis made with the Fed Ex Forum wasn’t bad enough. Memphis is now proposing a Riverfront Project. This would not be a bad idea if Memphis wasn’t already in the hole with many [...]

Free Chicken Sandwich

Hard up for a free meal. Go to Chick-Fil-A on July 14 dressed as a cow with spots head to toe and get a free Combo or dress in partial cow attire and get a free entree.

My Nephew

My sister just went to the doctor and got a new ultrasound photo of her soon to be son. Below are a two of the photos. One with him sticking his tongue out and another one showing that he is truly a boy.

What I want!

Here is something I think would be very cool to have. It is a high wheeler bicycle. I saw a guy riding one in Krakow, Poland pictured below. It actually is not priced to bad compared to other bicycles I have at the moment. This would make a great birthday present. Hint! Hint!

Dopes in Cycling

I am sure those that follow cycling are tired of hearing about doping accusations from years past. I mean how many times has Lance Armstrong been accused for things that happened in 1999. Even this years Tour de France is affected by some of the top riders not able to compete because of doping accusation [...]
