Fond memories

Posted: 31st October 2011 by T.F.P. in Life

I was up bright and early this morning and had a real taste for some fast food breakfast, so I went out to get a couple of sandwiches and some hash browns. As I was at the drive-thru window, I noticed that the cashier was using an Aldelo System register – the exact machine I [...]

Hosting kids

Posted: 30th October 2011 by T.F.P. in Life

Since I didn’t have much going on today, I let my son invite a group of friends over to play Wii and other video games. I’m usually always working, so it’s rare for my son to have a chance to play with his friends over here. I’ve got to say, it was fun having so [...]

Slow weekend

Posted: 28th October 2011 by T.F.P. in Life

I’m usually very busy on the weekends because I have to catch up on all the stuff I neglected to do during the week. But it looks like I’ll have a ton of free time this weekend. Heck, the Bears aren’t even playing on Sunday, which gives me three extra hours right there! I’ll probably [...]

Hawks beat Anaheim

The Hawks managed to pull out a win after a mostly lackluster performance at home against Anaheim tonight. They trailed twice in the game, 1-0 and 2-1, but battled back and eventually won in the shootout after Toews and Kane scored while Crawford yielded only one goal to Selanne. Anyway, I thought Kane had pretty [...]

Bears at Bucs in London

The Bears played the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in London today, and managed to barely eke out a victory after what looked like an incredibly strong start. Matt Forte had 145 rushing yards and a TD on 25 carries (most of those coming in the first half), while Marion Barber also chipped in 39 yards and [...]

Hawks lookin good

Posted: 20th October 2011 by T.F.P. in Sports

Even though the Hawks are just 6 games into their NHL season, I think it’s safe to say that they look MUCH better than last year’s version. They have 3 strong lines and a decent 4th line, and can roll 3 defensive pairings on most nights, too. The result is a 4-1-1 record after beating [...]

RFID blocking wallet

My husband is the kind of guy who will keep on using the same things until they literally start falling apart due to wear and tear. For example, he has had the same shoes for about 4 years, numerous t-shirts that can be traced back at least 6 years, etc. These days, his wallet is [...]
