Festive each night

2008-08-29T21:38:00.001-04:00

My Dad hangs Christmas lights on the fence in the back patio. They go on each night all year round. It provides a fun festive atmosphere for the back yard. I wanted to play with some night photography tonight. More at http://www.benspark.com/…-1239.html

Today I saw a tweet by Ted Murphy. He was looking for crazy photos of people who loved Pringles. I answered the call. However this is not a very crazy photo, this is just a portion of the Pringles I bought to shoot photos. More at <http://www.benspark.com/…-1237.html

Cabin Cuddler makes the Skies Friendly Again

2008-08-26T22:01:00.004-04:00

I travel, often, you can see how much by checking out all my mobile posts on this blog. In the past seven years I have flown half a million miles or more. I would need to check all the respective airlines to make sure, but I know I have over 300,000 miles on American Airlines alone. The one thing that I have noticed in those seven years is the complete degradation of services. Now the airlines are doing away with blankets and pillows, but they are not telling passengers. This silent loss of services is not good for many people who get cold on airplanes.

Personally, I never get cold. In fact, I can't get cold enough. I want at least 3 of those blowers on me at all times because I always feel hot on the plane. If I did get cold I would certainly not want one of the blankets that are supplied by the airlines. I've seen how disgusting people can be and I figure that the blankets and pillows don't get much washing. If I was to use a blanket I'd want my own travel blanket. At least I know where it has been.

The problem with bringing a blanket with me on the plane is that it takes up space. I pack light, because I have to get on and off many planes each travel day. I can't be bogged down with something extra on each flight. But wait, I said I never get cold so why would I even think to bring a blanket... I have a wife. My wife and I have two totally different body temps. I end up carrying the most stuff, so I would get the job of carrying the blanket too. Because of that I want something light and small that can still get the job done.

I recently discovered the Cabin Cuddler and I think that it will solve my problems. The Cabin Cuddler is a travel blanket and inflatable pillow that is cruciform so that it covers you and saves space at the same time. The blanket and pillow fold up into a convenient tote bag that easily hangs off your luggage. The blanket has a patented pocket for your feet too. The Cabin Cuddler is the most hygienic way to keep comfortable when you travel because of the 100% Polyester Micro-Fleece, Anti-Pilling material that is machine washable.

I was thinking of other options for using the Cabin Cuddler like at football games and on the beach in the early evening. I also know this would be the perfect gift for my Mom. She is never ever at the right temp. A Cabin Cuddler would be great for her, so she wouldn't have to constantly fidget with the heat. Of course, it probably won't stop her from asking if the rest of us are too cold.

My father put up some shelves in the living room so that we could move the vintage cameras off the entertainment center, move the DVDs to the top slots and also more the Wii up higher. Then put the baby's toys on the bottom. I figure if she is going to be pulling things out of the cubbies then they should be her own toys to play with rather than our DVDs.

Up River

2008-08-23T20:40:00.001-04:00

Today I went on the Ten Mile River with Keith Gonsalves. Keith was the guy who organized the Roger Williams Paddle back in July. It looks like that will be an annual event, and I am really looking forward to doing it again. Today we put in from the same spot, Freedom Green Park in East Providence. But instead of going down river to Omega Pond we went up river to Hunt's Mill and the waterfall there.
