Helping Friends Move

By on Jul 18, 2016

Our friends and neighbors moved this weekend. It was disappointing to see them go. They are good people that we loved to spend time with. Their kids are almost the same age as ours and they lived right next door. So when they asked for help moving I was more than happy to lend a hand. As is usually the case when it comes to heavy stuff I lifted far more than I should have and when I put the box down I was seeing those little flashy squiggley things and felt a little light headed. Then I looked down at the box and panicked for a second. Remembering that my neighbors are native Russian speakers I was able to relax.Milwaukee’s Best Printer

My Pokémon GO Story

By on Jul 18, 2016

Yep, I’m playing Pokémon GO. It is neat. It is a way to connect to my nephews and pass a little time. I knew I was going to be spending some time with my nephews this weekend so I installed the app and took a walk to my neighborhood park which has two Poké-Stops. There were three kids sitting at a picnic table who immediately looked up and said, “We aren’t going to rob you.”I don’t want to sound disparaging but the kids looked like they would get winded just get up. I wasn’t worried. Anyway, one of the kids motioned with his hand to join them so I did. They had put a “lure” on the spots so they could attract more Pokémon and were not surprised to see other people arrive. I was the only person to walk up but several cars pulled up, idled a while and then drove away.We started to talk. The three kids were recent high-school graduates all...

Mr Robot

By on Jul 12, 2016

Have you ever watched a show and were completely blown away? I was so impressed by the first season of Mr Robot. Everything about it, from the cinematography to the acting, I fell in love with the show. The writing was spectacular. It had twists and turns, some of which were telegraphed a mile away and some that borrowed from other sources, but the writers handled it in a way that was fun. The actors played their roles wonderfully, especially Christian Slater who was as wonderful, charismatic and funny as he was in his early career. I was amazed that this was on basic cable though because some of the subject matter was very dark. I had some friends I could not recommend the show to because of it.Now season 2 is about to debut and in all honesty I am a little worried. There was a level of brilliance in the first season that will be hard to match. I want to take a step back and rephrase...

She lost her lunch box. Kids, amirite? So I had to come up with something quick. There might be a few more this week depending on the situation with the lunch box.Milwaukee Digital Printing

Vacation

By on Jul 8, 2016

Just got back from vacation. I had no cell phone coverage, no internet and no worries. Planned out everything the week in advance so I was really able to just relax and have a wonderful time. When 6 to 8 months of your year is littered with snow you have to really appreciate the good weather while it lasts.Milwaukee Printing
