The gourmet food posts on the site are probably going to grow exponentially over the coming years. I’d publicly debated various cookware as far back as last year and finally decided to take the plunge as part of the six-month May Day project. Yesterday evening, I bought a set of copper Ruffoni pots and pans, which were going…
I’ve read Architectural Digest since I was in middle school. Having my own canvas upon which to paint is enjoyable and turning out to be my favorite part of this iteration of the six-month project. Putting a room together is the same feeling as composing or writing a well-crafted essay. The aesthetics for the…
It’s nearly 1:30 a.m. and I am up working on the MacBook from an armchair in my living room as Aaron battles Draugr in Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on Playstation 3. My plan had been to work out but instead I found myself drawn into a technological problem that was facing one of the…
I wanted to give you some insight into the approach and strategies Aaron and I use to get what we want in life; to build our home and businesses into a cohesive system that works to reinforce each other and bring us happiness and financial freedom, which includes freedom over our time.
Last week, Simon Cowell’s new show, X-Factor, called one of my companies, Mount Olympus Awards asking if we could outfit the varsity jackets for Marcus Canty’s performance of Bobby Brown’s hit “Every Little Step I Take” on tonight’s live show.

Earlier this year, I was watching Gossip Girl and suddenly the characters on screen were wearing varsity jackets. I immediately called the office and demanded to know why we hadn’t been the one that made the products. The response? “We were.” There have been a few other moments like that in the past couple of months…
Family and friends celebrated my 29th birthday today. Also, the stained glass Monopoly lamp arrived to match the ceramic Mr. Monopoly bank I bought in the middle of night when I couldn’t sleep due to working out too late in the evening and not being tired.
The ceramic Mr. Monopoly bank I bought the other day (er … middle of the night) arrived earlier than expected. I love it. I wish there were Monopoly art and collectibles to the same degree there is with Scrooge McDuck thanks to the work of Carl Barks.
My early afternoon today was spent in a hospital visiting someone very close to me recovering from surgery. As I was looking around at the capacity of the facility, it dawned on me that the quantity of coffee necessary to serve all of these people would require a reconstitution, grind-free system that had a reasonable…
After dinner and dessert at the Yachtsman Club restaurant, we made our way back to The Magic Kingdom because we have reserved seating for the fireworks show at Cinderella’s castle. The whole thing is themed as a dessert service but I doubt any of us are going to be able to eat anything else, though…
