Accessory Adventure

My sister-in-law, Amy, is trying her hand at a new venture, creating handmade jewelry and selling it on the Internet. She's made some really nice stuff and the prices are very reasonable. If you are in the market for new jewelry as a gift or just shopping for yourself, check it out.

John Stossel spoke at the U of M

I attended an event at the U of M last night where John Stossel from ABC's 20/20 was the guest speaker. The title of his presentation was "Freedom and its Enemies", and he discussed how we all lose (both rich and poor) when big government steps in to stiffle innovation and business free markets. I also picked up his new book, Myths, Lies and Downright Stupidity, and got it signed. Thanks John, keep up the good work on 20/20. This picture isn't from last night, but it was the best I could find on Flickr.

I got 3rd place with 93 total points in my company's 2007 NCAA March Madness men's basketball pool. I had 3 of 4 in the Final 4 and picked Florida to win it all, which they did as repeat champs. It earned me a whopping $25 in my pocket!

Ben got this "Hot Wheels" type toy hippie van on a visit to Noodles restaurant from a friendly employee, wow!

Also, it was the first time he had the Mac & Cheese, and it was YUMMY.

Thanks Noodles!
