tomorrow never dies

the problem with my blog: i can never decide exactly what i want it to be.

-place to post my inner most thoughts/struggles?
-place to post only my most insightful moments?
-place to talk about sports?
-place to talk about cool things i've come across?
-place to update my day-to-day life?
-place to talk about spiritual struggles?

i think over the years, it's been all of the above, and, thus, not really been anything.

i don't think i'm going to solve that problem any time soon.

thoughts/things for today:

1. did you know car rental prices vary from hour to hour? yes. hour to hour. we just looked up an 8 day rental for an SUV, and the cost in 3 hrs varied from $780 to $480 to $405. Craziness. Keep that in mind the next time you look.

2. i've just entered into contract negotiations for new braunfels. it's weird. and challenging. and way too much legal mumbo-jumbo. it seems inevitable that i'm going to get screwed.

3. i wish we could find a great option for both heidi and me to be close to our families. hopefully one of the sets of parents will spontaneously decide to move close to the other set. somehow, that just doesn't seem likely, with both families having firm roots in texas and wisconsin respectively. my angle: buying a lakehouse for them. the question is: which lake? (in which state?)

4. new years resolutions to follow.

5. it's so great ohio state not only lost, but got BLOWN OUT by florida. justifies all my defense (here in big ten country) of the SEC champ being in the title game, and not michigan. the michigan drubbing at the hands of USC helped, but the florida drubbing of ohio state was the kicker. i hate living in big ten sports country. most big ten fans are so elitist (sp?)

6. apple has a new phone, the iphone. it looks oh so tasty.
