Our time of having only one car is coming to an end. With the kids growing up and having to be more places at goofy times, our three-year stint as a one car family must give way to the necessity of a second automobile.
With gas prices what they are, we’re more than a little concerned about the overall cost of a second car. The cost per gallon hit $3.95 the other day. Yes, yes…I know you folks in Europe have had it much higher for a very long time, but it’s still a shock to the wallet when in five years it’s gone from $1.85 to the current high.
Used or new? We’re more than likely going to be looking for used, and hopefully, we’ll be able to pay cash on the barrel head for it. Just in case we can’t, I’ve started to gather some resource links:
C.A. Sizemore has been a fan of The Secret Lair since day one. He has provided us with feedback and even contributed a manuscript that we simply haven’t gotten around to publishing yet. C.A. has been with us since long before The Secret Lair became a reality: he followed us here from The House of the Harping Monkey and Volcanicast, where he was a loyal, involved fan. I’m hard-pressed to think of a podcast that C.A. doesn’t listen to and equally hard-pressed to think of a podcaster who doesn’t know him. He is the best kind of fan we could possibly ask for and we are all lucky to have him.
This morning C.A.’s wife, Kelly, passed away unexpectedly. Our hearts, thoughts, prayers and deepest condolences are with C.A. in this difficult and tragic time.
If you have ever thought about donating to any of the podcasts that I produce, I’d ask that you please visit the donation site established by Mae Breakall and give what you can to help C.A. cover the expenses that tragic events like these always incur.

In Jason’s words:
We’re looking for a really killer Systems Engineer here in Los Angeles to work at our very cool factory in Santa Monica where they will make their own hours (provided they at least make it in for the free staff lunch every day at noon :-), get whatever equipment they want, soak in stock options in the next big thing, and work with a team of totally kick-ass no BS developers who are KILLING it every day.
Testing from Jott. This is a test ____ cell phone directly to my blog. I read about this on Lifehacker. Interesting to see if it works. I am not going to ____. I just want to see how it comes through. This is a test. Go back to your normal life now. listen
This time, we sit down with Andrea Gideon to talk about settling down in your home town…the joys, the pains, the issues of dealing the past. Andrea’s in a unique position to know…she and her husband Tom bought the house where she grew up, and walk the same streets that she did when she was in her teens.
Do we ever outgrow where we grew up? How can you look the old places with new eyes?
I’m happy to say that the first Refresh Cleveland gathering was a success. We met up for dinner and beers at the Winking Lizard in Lakewood, and topics of conversation included:
We have a lot of talented folks in this town. Why are they not speaking to each other?
