Make Room for Life
Fall is the Perfect Time for Closet and Storage Concepts to Design Your Custom Entertainment Center or Home Theater Room The little signs of the approach of fall are everywhere. The cool, crisp evenings, a slight color change on the tips of the leaves, the endurance of some really awful new television shows before natural…
A “slide rule”, by its ordinary definition, is hardly much to get worked-up over. Unless one is a collector of antiquated computing devises, or enjoys the “geek-chic” look of a mini slide rule provocatively peeking out from the protective lining of a breast pocket (also known as a “nerd shirt”), there really isn’t much ado…
I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but the cost of everything seems to be going up. Shocking, I know. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and fancy-schmansy barista-made coffee was the first on my hit-list of things I could live without in order to economize.
