Stolen GPS

Hi,
As a result of 2 people being too busy to handle so many things, we left my toyota unlocked in my driveway a couple weeks ago.

BAM! someone got in and took my Tom Tom ONE GPS :(
they left my oakley sunglasses and took all my quarters.

Defn some punk kids.
Anyhow, now we make sure to lock the doors.
also I don't leave my TomTom in the car.

Now an opportunity to get a new GPS with better features has come

Slickdeals (deals expire quick) had the TomTom GO 920T Portable GPS Vehicle Navigator, top of the line jammie for 440 bucks before tax.


I will be posting a full review when i get it.

Personal Updates

Hi,

Its been a good 2008 so far.

I have decided to leave my part time job at the Container Store. The employee discounts were great, but i had to properly re-prioritize things.

Unfortunately, with a new baby on the way, and real estate picking up, something had to be pared back.

I have decided to work towards building a coaching practice.
Personal, Life, Work Balance, Marriage, Business

All coaching is life coaching.

I have a new blog setup to talk about my experience in the coaching phase.
Coachsam.wordpress.com

I am still working on a catchy name for my coaching practice.

Other great news is that Sora, my wife is also going to become a coach. That way we can work together. The great news for her is that coaching for women is a much bigger market. She should do well.

website names i bought for her are coachsora.com
not bad right?

Unfortunately, there coachsam.com was already taken.

We will find out where we are having a boy or girl on Good Friday March 21st 2008.

I am kind of hoping for a boy, but I will be happy either way.

please check my coaching blog, as I will be much more active posting there.

BOWLING: We are currently first place in our league. but 10 weeks left, if we can keep our lead for 9 more weeks, we will be ok, I think!

Sweet Justice

Hi,

What a superbowl.

I am very happy for the Giants. I hope the Eagles can learn something from this victory.

Pats, sorry, but 4 superbowls is not easy. Glad to see Randy moss blocked from getting a superbowl.

Belicheck is a classless cheating jerk. Walking off the field before the final snap.
Shows his true colors.

Its not that i am a pats hater, i rooted for them against the Rams, but the underdog is the greatest sports story.

Pats get what was coming to them, i hope the investigations go on, and more truth about their cheating ways come out.

Restuarant Review






If you know me, you know I don't usually rate restaurants highly. Especially Korean food in Philly Area.

But this place has exceeded my expectations

1. Great beef BBQ, good lean cuts, lots of flavor
2. good side dishes
3. good food for other entrees.

the monkfish (pronounced Ah-GOO) was excellent!

gadget-a-holic

http://crackberry.com/are-you-gadgict-or-gadgetolic

i think this is me... sad to admit...

are you?

  1. You’d rather text than talk face-to-face.
  2. You can’t leave home without it. You can’t relax without constantly checking for email or messages; a cell phone ear piece becomes a permanent part of your wardrobe.
  3. Your family or friends ask you to stop, but you can’t. The Internet becomes a more powerful draw than spending time with family or friends or other favorite activities.
  4. You miss important life moments.
  5. You can’t stop even after it gets you in trouble, like being in a car accident while talking on the cell phone. ( i have never gotten in an accident while driving)
haha

vacation has started


Let me first start by saying

"How bout them cowboys" My motto has always been 'ABC" anybody but cowboys.

Tony romo needs a new girlfriend.

Ok, enough about that.

1. vacation started with 8 hour flight with 1 layover in the middle.
2. eleanor traveled relatively well...

I am in LA now, leaving for Reno/Tahoe in a couple hours.
I hate flying and willbe RVing it from now on. so all I need is a hybrid diesel solar powered monster RV.

A new Chon



I don't think Elton John has it totally right, with the whole circle of life thing... but in some way, I believe my mother who passed away on Nov 19th, 2007, left our family with a gift.

We had an ultrasound for Sora on thursday Jan 10th. We were able to see a new fetus with a vigorous 175 BPM heartrate.

If you have ever played DDR - 175 BPM is pretty frantic.

As the ultrasound tech referred to the "New Chon" it/he/she looks like a gummy bear.
Big head, round body, and little nubs for hands and feet.


We are very thankful to our friends, family who have been praying for us.

he/she is in there somewhere

i think the head is down and to the left...
