One of the newer shows that has captured my attention this past year is "Undercover Boss", which airs on CBS Sunday nights at 9 Eastern. The premise is simple: CEO's and company Presidents go undercover as potential employees at their own companies. They work in starter jobs in various location...

Earlier today, my friend Sally Cheeseman shared a photo of her father that looked like it was probably taken in the 1940′s. I showed my wife, and we talked about what a cool picture it was. It made him look like a bomber pilot, maybe one from an old war movie. Then, I reflected on the fact that...

Through the course of an average week, I receive several hundred (non-spam) emails, many of which are direct questions from consumers. Here's one that I received in early October: Hi Jason - I'm interested in the process of purchasing my first home. Not looking to spend more than $125K and know...

As part of our plans for 2011 and beyond, I'm looking to expand our team as we begin a new year. I figured it never hurts to spread the word via any means available to me. With that in mind, I thought it might be a good idea to let my ActiveRain friends know that I am in full-on hiring mode righ...

Last night, while celebrating our 18th wedding anniversary, I took my wife to see "Due Date", starring Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifinakis. We had seen the ad for this movie weeks ago, and it was one of the few things I can recall recently that we immediately both wanted to see, mainly becau...

I just wanted to write a quick post about my anniversary, since we have plans in a couple of hours to go out "on the town". My wife's sister is watching our kiddos tonight so that we can enjoy dinner and perhaps a movie. My wife Pam and I met on the dance floor of an Austin nightclub almost 20...

Okay. Maybe the title above is a slight exaggeration. Alright - maybe it's a huge exaggeration. We spent last night as we have spent the past 12 or so new years' eves (and maybe more). Namely, we were at home, with our children. I think the idea of "partying" for this particular occasion sto...
