This weekend we are planning a trip to Tamarack, West Virginia. I cannot wait to get out of town for the weekend. I have worked very hard this week to have both Saturday and Sunday off with the family. All I want to do is sneak away with them all, high in the mountains where our cell phones do NOT work. I want to shop for hand-blown glass this weekend and maybe some other intriguing gifts for Christmas. Some of what we are looking at is at this website: http://www.tamarackwv.com/. Visiting this wonderful natural place of beauty, shop for some artisan specialties, maybe stop at the New River
and show our children where some of the best bungee jumping and bridge jumping is found. (more…)

Youth Football season ended last week for us when my son and daughters’ teams were knocked out in the playoffs. The Championship Games were played today. We didn’t see the games, our first Saturday morning off since September.
I am working a bit more now with the unused football hours. It’s a great chance to give my assistant manager a break. He has been working quite hard and a lot of hours so that I could coach and be as active as possible in my kids’ activities. So, I closed tonight. I don’t think I have ever worked a Saturday, even in the pizza business. I know it sounds weird (most request Sunday) but I have always reserved Saturday for family. I quickly got over it, but it did feel odd to me to be headed to work on a Saturday.
I miss football season already. I miss the girls practicing their cheers. The hugs and smiles and hard work, even when they would rather be playing “webkins”. I miss all the kids playing and having fun. The total parental support of hundreds of parents. I miss the games and wish I had gotten up and went to watch the Championship games today. I was being lazy and well, frankly, it’s gotten very cold lately. I hate the cold. (more…)
I have had quite a few visitors to my blog and I have posted many comments on other blogs. When was someone going to tell me that I do not know how to spell the word “definitely”?? I am sure that I have other typos, but those are most likely typos. I even take the extra time to type ”definitely” carefully and did not realize until tonight that I have been misspelling it for years! I have always spelled it: d-e-f-i-n-A-t-e-l-y. Now, I am not asking the blog world to pick apart my posts, but if you should happen to notice that I am consistently spelling the same word wrong, please let me know. And before you tell me to use the spell-check, you should know that I do. The WordPress spell check apparently does not catch this mistake. Thanks a bunch!
Just a silly little crow, but on July 13, 2007, my blog Perspective of Yet Another Night Owl was #69 on the WordPress List list of growing blogs! Who’d have thought that?? Here’s a partial list:

I have a MySpace page and belong to quite a few pro-MK Groups on MySpace. Many of these groups try to keep the atmospheres there positive. If we wanted an anti-MK site/group, we would either create one or go visit one, right? I am a firm believer that one should not go to someone else’s sandbox and create a bunch of mud. If you want to muddy your sand box, fine, but please don’t muddy up mine. If you can do that for me, I will do the same for you. It all boils down to respect! (more…)

Battle of the Blogs
If you have been reading up on Mary Kay, I am sure you have seen the numerous blogs out there, both pro and anti-MK. It’s even gone a step further and now there are blogs that are “anti anti”. There are more blogs out there, but the few listed here are the ones I am going to talk about today. Since I don’t want this blog to be a Blog war or a Pro or Anti-MK blog, this is probably the only post I will have that refers to all this.
Background: I found these when I was looking for information about MK after joining this year. I reviewed them, had lots of questions, got some answers, and made my decision to stay with MK as a consultant. I have no desire to become a team leader or director. I am not out to make millions either. I just want to have some fun with it and if I earn some extra spending money, hey that’s a bonus I won’t throw away! That said, I think someone getting involved with MK now, should know about these blogs before getting sucked into one over the other. I am going to try and be fair to all in this post, but I have formed my own opinions which I am sure will shine through. I am sure someone may not like what I have to say, but oh well. Remember, all bogs are full of opinions that some may or may not agree with. That is the great thing about opinions; we all have a right to have them. (more…)
