Real People. Real Experiences. Real Helpful.
This was a week of creativity gone wild!…
We’ve termed ourselves “serial entrepreneurs” — though we’re not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing! To us, it’s a good thing, cuz it keeps our wheels spinning and life never gets boring.
There were a lot of exciting things added to our plate this week. I won’t go into ALL of them here, but suffice it to say: Life is Good.
Whether you live in the Nashville area, or plan to visit in the near future… this website has all the in’s and out’s about Music City USA.
From the day I first heard Ashley Cleveland singing traditional hymns in a style all her own, I was hooked.
It was after we saw Ashley perform at BCC that Jim and I both said, “We need to learn more about her. And we should see if she’s got a CD of her singing hymns.”
That was over a year ago, and we did get to know Ashley Cleveland and her music quite well. But no, there was no CD on which Ashley rocked out traditional hymns… yet.
NOW there is.
Nashville’s famed Printers Alley is so named because of the large number of printing companies that used to be housed in that alley.
In fact, the last printer to leave the alley was Ambrose Printing Company (a place where Jim worked) in 1977.
Today, Printers Alley is a Nashville hot spot for tourists and locals alike.
It’s located between Third Avenue and Fourth Avenue stretching between Union and Church Street.
Popular sites in Printer’s Aalley include: Bourbon Street Blues & Boogie Bar, the Fiddle and Steel Guitar Bar, and Lonnie’s Western Room — to name just a few.
There are also some great restaurants in Printer’s Alley.
As most of you know, we do a website for About.com called 4wheeldrive.about.com. It’s a 4-wheeling site for people who own four-wheel drive vehicles or ATVs and enjoy driving them off-road.
(…Yes, we own a four-wheel drive vehicle, and yes, we enjoy taking it off-road.)
Before being a guide for the 4wheeldrive site, we did the Pensacola site for About.com.
Well, the big news in our world is the fact that we’ve just been bought by the New York Times! Whooo hooo!
I’ve always wanted to be part of a Bible Study group. Mostly because I know NOTHING about the Bible, and would like to absorb it (directly or indirectly) through chatting with other Christian friends; and partly because it’s just fun to get together with people you have something in common with. Here’s how my first bible study went…
It’s still enlightening to me (and to others I’m told) to post this “What I Learned” list each Friday.
So, here goes…
And now, for this week’s installment of “What I Learned This Week”…
#1… There’s a bloggers conference planned for Nashville May 5-7, 2005!
Jim and I were flipping through the channels late the other night when we happened upon VH1 where John Mayer walking around the stadium dressed in a Bear costume before one of his concerts, and he was asking people what…
It’s good to know that the town in which we live operates on the cutting edge of technology when it comes to critical response life-saving techniques and rapid mobile command centers.
Franklin, Tennessee has a new life saver in town and it’s called the Critical Incident Command Vehicle. Now help is on the way… faster than ever!
Hmmmm… it seems that hunky hearthrob actor Jamie Denton (aka Mike the plumber from Desperate Housewives) has officially changed his name to James Denton.
In keeping with tradition (for a change), here’s this week’s installment of “What I Learned This Week”:
#1… An optical mouse won’t work on a glass tabletop (not even if you tape a colored piece of paper to the underside of the tabletop to “trick” the mouse into thinking there’s a bottom!)
I love going to the doctor!
I know, most people aren’t shouting to the masses about their ailments and the doctors who treat them, but I just have to give props to my doctor, Michael Overfelt, because he re-defines what it means to be a “family doctor”.
