Not Really Free

Filed under: Lance's Corner by Lance on 11/6/2007
Tags:

Overheard on a local radio station: This commercial-free hour is brought to you by (company name). It is not really free of commercials, now, is it? It might just be me, but that statement seems ludicrous. Isn’t mentioning the hour’s sponsor a type of commercial? I love to see how people play with words and [...]

Tags: ,

The most wasted of all days is one without laughter. This statement from e.e. cummings goes up as one of my favorite of all time.

Mark Twain said: Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. That sums up my outlook on life, and I [...]

Amazingly, Erin and I have just passed a big milestone: one year of full-time RV travel. It’s been a fun adventure, and we hope to continue for at least one more year. Next summer, we plan on driving to Alaska, so if the RV wants to fall apart after that it would be great timing. [...]

Hello Facebook, Bye MySpace

Everyone needs a social life, right? I signed up for a MySpace account earlier this year, but never updated it or customized it much. To be honest, I probably was just too busy.
