Beautiful Sunny Day at the Beach

Posted on February 15, 2010September 10, 2012 by Jacky Hackett

Had it not been for below freezing temps I could have stayed all day.  Just had to settle for a 2-hour walk.  On the plus side, frozen sand is a lot easier to walk thru and it does not get in your shoes.  I love the beach whatever the weather.

Posted on February 12, 2010September 7, 2012 by Jacky Hackett

The 2010 Winter Olympic Games kick-off tonight with the opening ceremony. This year’s big Olympic story though isn’t so much the athletes, but the snow. The lack of snow I should say. They are having to use machines to turn water into snow and are even trucking some snow into the area. These efforts go…

Personal Connection to Dinner

Posted on February 10, 2010September 7, 2012 by Jacky Hackett

To take a line from my husbands’ playbook. Today was a lucky day, even despite not getting a snow day. Well they did close my office early but I couldn’t wrap things up fast enough to take advantage of it. There was only about 6-8 inches of snow by the time I got home, not…

Has it really come to this?

Posted on January 31, 2010July 19, 2011 by Jacky Hackett

Do socks really need to be labeled as left or right?  Perhaps they are being humorous, or perhaps the target consumer are adults who have not yet mastered their left from their right.  Can there really be a functional reason to wear the socks as labeled?  I am guessing that is the intent, I am…
