A year ago I made a post explaining why I put up such a big Halloween display each year. I explained that I am not a Satanist, that it does take considerable time to put up my display each year, and that at the end of the day I put up my display because I want to create memories for the neighborhood kids. However, I find that along with other people I am asking myself the question of why I do it. Before I address that I want to talk about the number one question I have been asked this year: What does your wife think about all this?

Last Sunday I went to my second Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium. The first was during the 2005 season where the Chiefs finished 10-6 and just missed a Wildcard bid. We had nose-bleed seats, but we got to see Chiefs win the game against the Raiders with a touchdown on the final play after the clock had run out. The atmosphere was great and it was everything I expected a Chiefs game to be. Flash forward 4 years and going in to the Cowboys game last Sunday the Chiefs were 2-27 in their last 29 regular season games. Needless to say I was curious what the attendance levels would be as well as the game day atmosphere.

Back in the Spring of 1997 I finally grew tired of using Juno as my email client. Back then it was a simple program that would use a dial-up connection to download your emails off of its server. The application was ad-supported and had a limitation of about 2 MBs. The problem with it was I could only access it at my home computer. I wanted a solution that would allow me to access my email anywhere. This is where HoTMaiL came in. It provided the solution I needed and was easy to sign-up for. I stuck with it after Microsoft bought and I have been through all iterations of it.
