Last week I published a post on the Secret Santa at Traveler Bill Industries. In this post I included a short film of me putting together a LEGO Hobbit set. I really enjoyed this and decided to try it again, but this time take it to the next level. Therefore, please allow me to present […]

My Secret Santa can beat up your Secret Santa
Every year the good folks at Traveler Bill Industries engage in a Secret Santa gift exchange. This is something I take VERY seriously. How seriously you ask? Most people put a list of three items on a Post-It Note™. This is my most recent submission after the jump… (Trust me, it is worth it.) I […]
Pain de Me!
I like to cook. I’ve occasionally posted dishes I’ve made and to be honest there are twice as many abandoned posts that I started and never finished. I planned on baking a “Pan de Mie” last Sunday. It was going to be the first the first thing made on our KitchenAid Pro 600 Stand Mixer […]
Traveler Bill’s Test Kitchen: Cheese Crackers and the Big Game
Just about every year I make my way up to New York’s Capital Region on Super Bowl® Sunday to watch the big game with my oldest friends. This year will be no different. Being the show off that I am I always try to up my game and bring something memorable. Last year I made […]

Celebrating the 40th – 36 of Which Are Cake
Tomorrow I celebrate my 40th birthday. Certainly an occasion for celebrating. It will be a holiday weekend, and I’ll be returning to my hometown to spend time with my family. Sound like something anyone hitting a milestone birthday would do. But for me it is particularly momentous. Because I am a Red Hat Survivor. I […]
The Longest Time In 24 Years.
Today when I left work I started what will be the longest time without reporting to work I have had since I was a Junior at high school. Ever since I was 16 and working at Wendy’s I have not been without a job for any extended time period. I left Wendy’s for the K-mart. […]
Bill’s Tough Road to Hoe.
This week I officially started my 2010 Start! Heart Walk Fund-raising. In less than a week I have already raised over $1,250. The people who started me off with their donations have my eternal thanks but I have a long way to go to reach my goal of $25,000. Yes, that is accurate…Twenty Five Grand. […]
It’s that time of year again!
The Heart Walk 2009-2010 Wall Street Run & Start! Heart Walk is only a few months away. I will again be participating to raise funds and awareness for this very worthy cause. My results have been so good the past years that I have been asked to become a National Fundraiser by the New York […]
