Free iPod Touch Upgrade

I came across the links over at Live Crunch. Personally I paid for the wife’s upgrade the day it came out but for those of you that want to save $10 here are a couple of links…

Supply and Demand

For the first time in quite a while gas is back down under $4 a gallon. That’s great news. Of course there are a few reasons why it’s going back down but the biggest reason is demand. People just aren’t driving as much as they used to, due in part to the high gas prices.

Opening a Restaurant…

Having worked in the restaurant industry for over twenty years now both the wife and I have thought several times about opening up our own restaurant. While I probably could go franchise with my current company in the next five to ten years we are thinking more along the lines of a coffee shop type [...]

Seven People Shot in Knoxville, TN

I saw this story a bit earlier on CNN but was busy working so I haven’t had the chance to write about it yet.

Apparently a gunman went into a Knoxville church and opened fire with a shotgun. At the time of this report they were saying nobody had been reported dead but now it appears [...]

Maybe the Bahamas?…

Earlier when I was talking about maybe going to Key West, one thing I failed to mention is that a lot of times it’s actually cheaper to go to Nassau on one of those all-inclusive vacation packages than it would be to stay in the states. I know, that sounds weird but it’s true. I [...]

Last Week of Summer Vacation

So this is it. The girls are in their last week of summer vacation. Good for me and bad for them I suppose. Not that I don’t love spending time with them. I do but during the school year I am generally able to get a full eight hours of work done on my days [...]

Food Safety

I’ve been running restaurants for 21 years now. Holy cow! When I put that in writing it seems like a looong time. Anyway, as an operator I am extremely concerned with food safety. Over the years it’s gotten better and easier to maintain a safe and clean store although the danger is still there.
Because of [...]

Mustangs…

If you couldn’t tell by some of my previous posts I love muscle cars, particularly Mustangs. The very first car I can remember my parents driving when I was a child back in the late sixties and early seventies was a Mustang. Along with cars like the Thunderbird, Mustangs are an [...]

Moving…

My parents are moving again pretty soon. They have always done that as long as I can remember. They tend to move every few years even if it’s just into another apartment in the same complex. I prefer to stay put myself but I can certainly understand the allure of change.
The only problem with moving [...]

Working Late

I hate having to work late. In order to try and cut out some payroll while one of my managers is on vacation I decided that one of the manager trainees would work days shift, I would cook this evening and another manager trainee would work the graveyard. It will probably save me $200 just [...]
