It All Started In An Egg Factory...
Very old post that I think merits a re-post…
“Dear Rachelle
This money Grandma Rose gave me as a Series EE Bond in 1984. She earned it by working at the egg factory in David City. Apply it to a lap top and thank her in your own way. I enjoyed Easter weekend so much because you were here. Please remember how much I love you and continue to live life with passion.
Love, Dad.”

On The Hippocampus...
Hi Rachelle
I enjoyed reading your tumbler message to me about the drycleaners smell of your oxford shirt and the memories it stirred up. I walked by a bakery in Warsaw and immediately thought of grandma Rita because of the bakery aroma. When I smell tractor grease I immediately think of my dad and when I smell freshly cut alfalfa in the field I immediately think of my grandpa John. ...
I loved these photos from our redesign party FOUR MONTHS AGO.
The Scent Of My Father
Okay this probably is going to sound weird but Dad, today I put on one of my oxford dress shirts (pale blue), because I had a “real” meeting uptown and for some reason it felt appropriate (I looked like I belonged in a boys Ralph Lauren catalog). ANNNYWAY. I haven’t worn this shirt since the last time I had a dry cleaner clean it-back in the day I actually had a dry cleaner for...

A Love Story.
My sister met her “forever valentine” their freshman year of HIGH SCHOOL. She has never dated anyone since. They now have 3 beautiful boys together.
This was them the summer before they left for college. From her:
Here we are, pondering our future.
This was taken the summer before we left for college. We were like, ten, I think.
Phil was skinny. We were both (naturally)...

"Picker Upper"
Does anyone else remember ”Hello! My name is Joe! I work in a button factory. I’ve got a wife, a dog, and a family…” You know, the one where at the end, you’re sticking your tongue out and singing at the same time because you don’t have any other extremities to push buttons? I just taught the boys, and even though we’ve been all stuck together in a house for a week with a...

Forget being “rich enough” this is something I want NOW. Brilliant.

The Big Idea- Your Feedback Needed!
My sister and I are working on “the Big Idea” to be named soon. We need feedback! A taste:
Rachelle’s friend and business partner Cameron e-mailed me a few days ago to get some input on a business project he is working on while studying (and rowing) at Oxford. It involves “green” toys and the market here in America versus the one in Europe. A branch of his idea was launching a doll...

I’ll bet that if Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs had even one woman on his executive team, the iPad would have been given a different name. Otherwise why would Apple give its new device a name half of the population equates with feminine hygiene?

This felt good to get out of my system today.
Watchrickyv:LOST writers need your help. Loved this one.
This is hilarious. And spot on. WTF are they going to do? Why do we I put up with this? Nothing makes sense. I love it.
