My brother in-law just graduated from college last spring.  He received his online degree in computer technology and he is pleased as punch!  The whole family is really quite proud of him.  He had been looking for a way to advance his career and make better money, and this was a good way for him to do that.  He’s married and has one baby that was born around Valentine’s Day this past winter.  He works full time and he’s been taking online courses for a couple of years. 

He said what he really liked about taking online courses was the flexibility around his busy schedule.  If he had needed to go to a traditional college he says he never could have done it because he would have missed too many classes.  One of the great things about online colleges is that you don’t get tied down to one specific physical location.  While he was taking these courses he had moved a couple of times to different states.  He never could have done that if he was enrolled in a local university.

The degreehound.com website is dedicated to helping students locate the perfect online school for their interests.  They have a search wizard where you type in what you are interested in learning and it recommends the proper schools for that need.  When you find the school you are interested in you then can request more information to be sent to you.  It’s always a good time to take classes, to further your career, change your career, increase your job security, or just to learn something new that you’ve been interested in for a long time.  And online classes make it a lot easier to do just that.

A couple of weeks ago I bought a box of window tint film. I want to tint the windows of my hot rod limo black. I tried to install the film myself without any help, but found that there were a lot of bubbles in the end result and I wasn’t happy with it at all. So after a few days of thinking about it, I pulled the tint off of the windows and decided to try again.

This time I removed the windows from the truck and brought them inside. I laid them flat on the dining room table and installed the tint in the house. I asked my wife to help me, and she did. (Thanks wife!) The end result was much better, there were still a couple of bubbles which I ended up being able to pop with a pin and super glue down. Then I put the windows back into the hot rod and I have to say it looks great!

I really could not believe my eyes when I went down to the mailbox this afternoon to get the mail. We actually got a Christmas card in today’s mail! And here it is not even Thanksgiving yet! My wife and I usually get our Christmas cards out in the mail Thanksgiving weekend, and we thought we were early birds! Wait until my wife gets home and sees that we got a Christmas card! She will be so shocked too! I’m going to tell her “someone beat us to the punch!” What a riot!
