Another rough weekend for the Eagles…  Looking to end this season on a win. 

So is this guys…

Whoops… Check out the article

Ok so I will try not to do this too often… But, I have a challenge for you.  If you choose to accept and succeed I will offer you glorious riches beyond belief…

Many have tried but very few have conquered…

THE SALTINE CHALLENGE!!! 

The challenge goes like this:
-You have to eat 6 saltines (the normal kind, none of those reduced soduim ones) in 60 seconds without drinking or eating anything else during those 60 seconds.   

Do you think you are man (or woman) enough?
If this sounds easy than I highly suggest you give it a shot (looking forward to hearing about your failed attempts) and let me know about. 

And on the very off chance that you were to complete it, the glorious riches aformentioned comes as promise that I will vow to buy all the saltines that you can eat for the whole month of March. oh yes folks you heard that right all the saltines you can eat for the whole month (Hope you don’t mind Weis Quality). 

So is this the day that you will step up and be the man that you have always wanted to be…

p.s. Those things are sharp be prepared for a cut up mouth

So I barely had enough players this weekend to play (I actually borrowed some from another team to make it competitive).  5 of my 9 kids were out because they were sick (must have been something going ’round CV middle school).  So, although they played very well for being down a few key players we still ended dying out at the end of the game. 

So last night we started off the Restaurant Tour Club.  I know what you are thinking, “don’t only old people do that…”  Well, for most part I will have to agree with you that it is definitely a general trend amongst old folks, which is why we (younger folks) decided to start our own.  I think we are just trying to be rebellious… maybe not.  

So, here is how the “Tour” works.  Every few weeks we are going to head to a new restaurant in the Harrisburg/Mechanicsburg/Camp Hill area.  After we eat there peeps who went to that restaurant will rate and leave comments on the post.  The ratings are then automatically averaged together and shown on the post. Feel free if you have eaten at the restaurant (even if it wasn’t with us) to chip in with your ratings and comments.  The ratings are based on a 0 to 5 scale and have 5 categories (Service, Food Quality, Atmosphere, Value and Menu Selection). 

With only four games left.  It looks like we will need to win them all to come out above .500. 

One of my resolutions for this past new year was to read at least one book a month and since I am not the biggest fan of reading (probably has something to do with having an xbox) this is a fairly substantial resolution. So, with January in the “books” (bad pun I know but couldn’t resist) I have finished reading two great books.

1. “How to Win Friends and Influence People” by Dale Carnegie

Definitely a great read! Offers easy takeaways that can be applied in current relationships and to help solidify new ones. 

2. “The Definitive Book to Body Language” by Allan and Barbara Pease

Solid book to help “read” people better.  Definitely suggested!!! It is awesome to see how the topics in this book definitely show through in daily normal interaction. 

So, I plan on posting “The Book of the Month” up here (at least one a month) in order to help me feel somewhat accountable (not that any of you will call me out if I don’t post about a book each month… or maybe you will…).

Yes!!! First win of the season.  Thanks to those who were able to make it out!

Another tough loss this weekend…

So I took the GMAT’s over the weekend and needless to say as you can probably tell by the title of this post, they were insanely difficult.  Not to mention the lady in the corner who for some reason was typing the whole time  (The GMAT only has one section of typing that lasts about an hour the rest is just multiple choice) and ravaging my concentration.  But, needless to say they are over and now I need start up on the financial aid/loan/application process.  Should be fun!  Good luck to anyone else out there looking to take them and if you need a cheap GMAT Review book and don’t mind it being a little highlighted let me know and I can get it to you.
