UmbrellaToday? is a website that gives you the weather forecast that you really want to hear; "Will I need an umbrella today?" I mean really, when is the last time you were confused on if you would need a jacket in the middle of Janurary in Washington, DC? Of course you do! It's freakin Washington, DC!!! What you really want to know is if you need that Totes, Nautica, or London Fog shade cover and protection accessory i.e. your umbrella. Check out this cool service here. I have mine set to text my phone at 9am if I need an umbrella that day. This works for any zipcode and any cell phone provider.
The simple things in life appeal to me at times ;-)

ENDORSEMENT Fridays - I'm Back!!!
It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you... I have a lot of things to update on my blog since Burning Man but of course, when I came back to the lovely District of Columbia and tried to get on my Dell Laptop; I found a major Windows system error. WELL, the Geek Squad has just called me to tell me they've "fixed" the problems. Keep your fingers crossed for me :-) Well let's get into it. JERI endorses "Acts of Personal Cleansing."
During this period many people participate in the observations of Yom Kippur and Ramadan. There are other fasting exercises that take place now as well as throughout the year, but that is for another blogger, scholar, etc to detail. I've been on a cleanse myself for the past one week. YES, it's true. Sir John E. Rock Its did not drink alcohol for 1 WEEK!!! For many of you that know me, you re probably going through a cycle of feelings, thoughts, questions, and emotions about that like "(insert expletive here) stop lying!" But it's true, I did it! My lovely lady Angie Futurama proposed the exercise and like the great partner that I am read: madman, lunatic, fool for love :-) LOL I said "Yes, let's do it." I will write a separate entry about how it went but let the record show, it was one of the greatest things I've experienced in awhile. I feel good physically, spiritually, socially, and mentally. For me, this feeling is on a different level than anything because it was challenging. Gut check, when was the last time you actually did something truly challenging that rocked or countered a core behavior or trait of yours; in the case for me, drinking. I'm not talking about drunkenness and getting trashed, etc...I'm talking about a glass of wine @ dinner, a rum and coke @ happy hour, a beer while watching the football game...not as easy as you may think! Try it out. Much respect to my religious faith following brethren and people of personal discipline, who time to time invest in cleaning out themselves; which I believe lets them make a more meaningful impact on the world. SALUTE. I'm Back!!!
