the train, the train!!

Jim Hadfield | October 26, 2009

Well, here it is, just three weeks till the Northstar gets running.  I am sooo looking forward to it.  Imagine, rain or shine, just drive 2.5 miles to the station, get on the train and take it to within 2 blocks of Weather-Rite.
Granted, it will cost more than driving, but I won’t have any of [...]

Paid Off…

Jim Hadfield | August 18, 2009

After Barb blew up the engine in my BMW in 2006, we decided to get a new(er) car for me to drive.  Something that I felt comfortable in, something that would fit my back without pushing on all of the scars and damaged parts of my spine.
After looking at around 40 or more cars, we [...]

A vacation that never happened

Jim Hadfield | July 5, 2009

Well, my vacation trip to Seattle with Barb to spend a week with Jeremy’s family didn’t start out too well.  For that matter, it never even happened.
We have a new policy at work.  No vacation can be taken now, and if you do, it should be taken without pay.  That, is not a big deal.  [...]

Networking on the WWW

Jim Hadfield | March 8, 2009

This is an interesting subject..  I guess the first thing you need to do is determine “if” you want to even go there.  Are you prepared to take the time that is required to maintain the “other sites” like Linkedin,  Facebook, MySpace, etc.
If you have the time, then why do you want to Network on [...]

Shameless Advertising?

Jim Hadfield | February 18, 2009

Is it really “shameless marketing” or are we just trying to make a buck? Maybe it’s a bit of both.  I’ve tried a lot of companies that promise the world, etc.  But, I have not seen one of them produce yet.  Google, AdAware, and others.  Some of the leaders.  Where the heck is “MY” stimulus [...]

Barb’s dad passed just before midnight on the 24th..  He lived a full and good life.  Generous beyond all possibilities.
We gathered the our kids and the grandkids and drove to South Milwaukee on Friday morning.  We got Jeremy, Alexia and Amelia on a jet and flew them over from Washington.  Got four suites for the [...]

work till you drop

Jim Hadfield | November 13, 2008

Between the web business and WR, I am getting close to complete insanity.  Fortunately, I’ve been passing out around 8pm each night.  Just too exhausted to keep going. To many, this could be an enviable position, but honestly, it is a real pain in the ass.  I like to work, and I like to work [...]
