A Day in the Life

The Boston Globe ran a special report on Private Justin Lowe, a 21-year-old Marine from Webster, Massachusetts. The report follows a typical day in his life in the Kuwaiti desert, with text and pictures:

A Day in the Life

An interesting look at life over there, as we prepare for war on Iraq.

Okay, so I’m sitting here at work with Lesly in the Drive-Up and I come across this

Let the tears of laughter begin. It’s a good think that I am in a small enclosed area with a large glass window separating me from the customers!

New Shoes!

I got some new shoes on Friday! Becky and I stopped at Galyan’s on our way to Kohls. I was hoping to find some shoes to replace my aging Skechers slip-on sneakers. As luck would have it, I stumbled across a clearance sale on Merrell Reflex multi-sport sneakers. They are comfortable… in fact, they are of a heavenly level of comfort. Ahhh… nothing like the feeling of some new shoes. 🙂

Locate this!

On my way to work this morning, I spotted a commercial van labeled:

“On-Target: Underground Location Service”

Wow! What a cool job… wouldn’t you like to be the one to say, “Got something underground? I’m the man/woman to find it!”

Facts About Your Age

Go to that page and enter your birthdate into the window that pops up. The site will list all sorts of facts about your age, for example, what famous people are older/younger than you, and by how much, or what age you were at the time of various historical events. You can hit ‘refresh’ to bring the pop-up box back up if you want to enter in someone else’s birthdate.
