Disney Dreams

Posted: 30th June 2008 by T.F.P. in Services

The last time we went to Disney World was two years ago. My son was 3 at the time, and even though he enjoyed the experience while we were there, he doesn’t remember too much about it now. But whenever he glances through our photo albums and sees all the snapshots we took at Disney, [...]

Landis Loses Again

Posted: 30th June 2008 by T.F.P. in Sports

Remember disgraced American cyclist Floyd Landis? He ostensibly won the 2006 Tour de France, but was stripped of his title shortly after the conclusion of the race when a French lab said that he tested positive for banned substance (i.e. performance enhancing drugs). Well, Landis swore up and down that the lab results were faulty, [...]

My Home Office

Posted: 29th June 2008 by T.F.P. in Life

Since I work from home most of the time, I of course need to have a bit of office space for my computer, reference books, and files. We don’t have a spare room to accommodate these things, and even if we did, I probably wouldn’t use it since I don’t want to completely isolate myself [...]

It’s official: I’m completely clueless when it comes to interior design. I don’t know the first thing about how to dress up a room or how to make a certain area more functional. I don’t know how to arrange furniture in an attractive way, nor do I know how to add flair with the right [...]

Shawn Chacon Released

Houston Astros pitcher Shawn Chacon was placed on waivers today, following a well publicized incident in which he grabbed the team’s GM Ed Wade around the neck and threw him to the ground. According to Chacon, this happened after Wade started yelling and cursing at the player in public (in the team’s cafeteria or something). [...]
