So I've been wearing a promotional pedometer for the past two and a half years. It sits there on my belt just under my slightly oversized belly. The battle of the bulge has been an unfortunate part of my genetic makeup but it is a battle that I am slowly winning.

Some days I have to work out extra long at the gym to get to the 10000 mark but I get it done. So what you might think. Well, Christmas is approaching quickly.

As an engraver I have failed to communicate with a customer because of the terminology being used. At times the words monogram, engrave or personalize are utilized with the same meaning intended. In reality they refer to very different things. A monogram is a graphic design created from letters of the alphabet. The letters used typically represent a persons initials. They are formed and interlocked in an artistic way to have a pleasing appearance. Monograms have been used to identify personal items for centuries. A typical monogram would consist of the three initials of a persons name. They would not be used in first to last order. If they were they would simply be initials. Instead they are First...

My favorite movie is "My Best Friend's Wedding". I just love the cast like Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz, Dermot Mulroney, and Rupert Everett. There are a lot of twists and turns with the film.

Then she needs to undo whatever damages she has done to the wedding. Well I will be tying the knot soon.

Look around you. Is this the world you want the future generation to inherit from you? No more fresh air to breathe because of the pollution caused by your vehicle and waste. No more clean water to drink due to improper waste disposal and water pollution. I will not be surprise if we need to buy clean water someday to drink or to take a bath. No more animals to see due to illegal hunting of wild animals and deforestation. No more corals in the ocean to explore, blue sky to see, and flowers to smell. It is all because of our actions and negligence. Don't give the usual excuses. You should be involved in this cause.

I get this question all the time, and once I explain, what a koozie is, so far, everyone knew what I was talking about, but they all had different names for it. People say, "oh yeah a huggie" or a cozie, beer jacket, can holder and even a few more names I can't remember. A koozie is a holder for cans or beer bottles, that is made to keep your drink cold for longer a period and at the same time will keep your hands from freezing and getting damp from the condensation. Koozies are made from many materials, steel, leather, foam, polyurethane, neoprene (the stuff wet suit are made of), and nylon. I haven't timed this but apparently cans don't keep your beverage all that cold for more then 15 minutes...
