Phones vs. Computers

Everyday the computers get smaller and the phones get smarter. Will phones one day replace the need for computers? I understand that people that work on the computer will still need them. I'm talking about the average person. I hardly use my computer now that I have a BB. If I had an I-phone I could do anything my computer could do and fit in my pocket. (One day apple will change service carriers and you will also get to use the phone feature.) I still feel the need for a laptop with the wifes home business. Today I twittered, Facebooked, looked at my fantasy football team, asked google a question, and did this post from my phone.

Open book life, with a side of good example

I live an open book life. I'm on Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, and I have my own website. Its hard for me to imagine my life not being open to all. The only problem with that is that sometimes I do not live a life that is setting the right example for all. I was trying to decide if I should not live the open book life I do, or just live a life that sets a good example. With my little cousins following me on FB and my daughters getting older everyday. I have chosen to live a life of example instead of a life that is do as I say and not as I do. This will require me to think before I say or do things. This is something I have never been good at but I'm going to start to work towards it. I'm not a role model, but I want to a person of positive influence to the people that look up to me.

Relaxation

I have been enjoying a much needed relaxing vacation. Home vacations are some of the best vacations. I love to just casually go through my day with little planned and just getting things done when I feel like it. That being said heading into Thursday I'm going to have to start getting things done. The second half of the week will be very busy but I'm really enjoying the week home. I'm going to get myself a drink a watch a movie with the wife tonight. Staying up late and sleeping in, has been a nice change in my life.

Honey-do Vacation

This week I'm on vacation and we have to decided to just be home this time. It has been really nice getting stuff done around the house and not running hear and going there. I'm staying busy that's for sure but it's a busy by choice not because I have to be. That's the busy I like to be.

Christmas cheer in October.

Last year after Christmas, the wife and I hit the 75% off sales and we scored big. We have a beautiful new tree with really awesome new lights and lots of new decorations all still in the box. This week I'm on Vacation and I think we are going to set up our tree and decorate the inside of the house. We want it all up for Thanksgiving and I don't think we have an open weekend until then. It might be crazy but it's time to start spreading Christmas cheer in the Mitchell home.

I think we will turn down the A/C, have hot chocolate, warm apple cider, and some pastries. I feel all warm and happy just thinking about it.

The wettest, dry county.

I spent the last 3 days on business in Bentonville, Arkansas. I left still confused on there version of a dry county. In this dry county I went to 3 different bars and drank beer. There was a catch I had to join a club for 3 dollars at each bar, that gave me 3 dollars off of my 1st drink. I discovered this is the loop hole. Private clubs can have liquor licenses. Then I found another rule they have to get around is no liquor distributor can cross the county line. So the bars go and pick up all of their own beer and liquor from a different county. I'm still not sure how I got drunk at 3 bars in a dry county but I did. I would call it the wettest dry county ever.

BB Post

I'm head on a business trip tomorrow without my computer and wanted to test my ability to post from my phone. I have 2 full days of travel in the next 3 days and want to be a able to put together some posts to update you all.

Football Family

I'm helping to coach High School Football again this year and Friday night we won our first game. It has been a rough season but I have seen my players go from being individuals to a team. For the first time our team bonded together through the good and bad like a family. The result of that was our first win. I love to win just like everybody else but it's sweeter when you watch young adults grow to be a better people because of it. I'm not just teaching football I'm teacher life lesson.

Represent

This coming Monday - Wednesday I get to represent my company at a Supplier Summit in Bentonville, Arkansas. I have never gone on a business trip before so I'm very excited. After all of my hard work all of these years and I feel I'm getting some long needed recognition.

I see jumping on the hotel bed in my future. Stay tuned to twitter or FB to follow me on this adventure to Banjo country.
