Here’s todays picture.

Found at the Frederick Barnes and Noble

I just wonder if my life would of been much simpler if I had only stumbled across this series at a much earlier age…

I found this book while perusing the isles at Barnes & Nobles at the FSK Mall. I haven’t been much for books lately especially since I read so much here on the web. I scan about 150 blogs on a daily basis. They range from Local real estate blogs across the United States, Internet gadgetry, SEO, Life Management, and I even have the local newspapers here, and in Pittsburgh loaded into my Google Reader. The reader makes it easier to find new articles. I don’t have to go to every website to see if the author posted any new material.

Here is what is going on around a few of the blogs that I read today. (a peek into my google reader.)

Cool Concepts – The Portable PC Theater – Santa???

Like I said…it’s just a peek

I just love the dollar stores. The name brands are just….well … you know. Just so FAMILIAR!!!

As for Vegetable Oil. I don’t buy the unfamiliar type at all.

Have a great weekend

I just received my invitation to the gala event at the Weinberg Center. You know you are going to be asking yourself later “What’s there to do on New Year’s Eve in Frederick?” You know it’s going to happen! Well plan early. This black-tie event not only contributes to your enjoyment for the evening, but also helps the restoration process of the Weinberg Center. Now let me share that invitation with you. And when you make your reservations, tell them you were invited by Bob Carney on FocusOnFrederick.com.  (that’s invited not sponsored.) :)

A little tribute to one of my Childhood Icons

I learned yesterday that Evel Knievel had passed away yesterday. I grew up watching every daredevil stunt that he attempted. As kids we anticipated every network show he had scheduled. We just couldn’t wait. Then the next day, we would talk about it all day and re-enact the latest stunt. I had the little action figures and the motorcycles with ramps. I even had the bicycle with the red, white and blue markings just like his. We used to build ramps and jump off them…without bicycle helmets!!! There were claims that he had broke every bone in his body at least once…he was our hero. He was larger than life.

Life was so much simpler back then…kids of today just don’t even know

Rest in Peace.
