The Grill Sergeant BBQ Apron $14 – the Ultimate Grilling Apron

Had to share this. The ultimate man’s grilling apron. Yugster has it for $14 plus $5 shipping. Great gift for the guy that has it all. Apron holds 6 cans or bottles, has built in can opener, pockets galore to hold BBQ sauce, water spray bottle, or whatever. One size fits all. When I saw this product, I had to laugh… I can’t imagine wearing this apron, but at same time I thought, pretty clever… and for under $20, a great gift – whether as a gag gift or for real!

Should the Government Mandate Health Coverage?

As the Supreme Court contemplates whether it is Constitutional for the Federal Government to mandate (force) all US citizens to have health insurance or face fines, we have to ask ourselves if this is a road we want to go down. Do I want the government telling me what to do? If the government forces me to get health insurance, what’s next? Dental insurance? Long-term care insurance? Individual unemployment insurance? As a proponent for less government in our lives, you would think I would be against this part of the Affordable Healthcare Act. Yet, I understand the need for individuals taking responsibility for their own life, which includes their own healthcare. A healthy, young adult may not see a need to pay for health coverage… money better spent on the newest cell phone, or car. But what happens when that same healthy, young adult is diagnosed with life threatening cancer?

A Lonely Place to Die (2011) – Movie Review

Rating: 7+/10 Adventure thriller worth the rental fee. This movie had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. A group of rock climbers out for a fun day stumbled into something that would forever change their lives. This movie was not heavily advertised but is a good movie if you like action, adventure, thrillers. Very intense. The ending seemed a little forced and a little confusing, but still very good. I highly recommend this movie. My wife rates it 8/10. She got caught up in the drama and thought it was an exciting movie.

$16 Keurig K-Cup 48-pk. Green Mountain Coffee Holiday Coffee Collection – DEAL

$16 for 48 K-cups at Kohls. $1 shipping. I recently received a Keurig single serve coffee maker as a gift (thanks, Al & Bev!) and am now hooked. I’m on the lookout for good deals on these little single serve cups. Costco has the best deal – 80 cups for $35 or so – but limited selection. This Kohl’s deal looks pretty good. I’m not sure I’ll like all the flavors… I’m more of a bold, black coffee drinker…  but it may be nice to have some selections when friends visit. Although these are holiday (winter) variety pack, according to most reviewers, they are tasty any time of the year. Here is the deal taken from one of my favorite deal sites, www.dealnews.com. Deal ends 4/7. (I checked Amazon and their price is $28) 48 Keurig Green Mountain Coffee Collection K-Cups sale $19.99 regular $39.99 w/code $15.99 + .99 shipping

We Bought a Zoo – Movie Review

Rating: 7+/10 Rent this. Very good movie, excellent acting, good story line, suitable for entire family. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Matt Damon was great. Scarlett Johansson equally as good in role as zoo keeper. Dakota Fanning’s little sister, Elle Fanning stole the show – a lot of talent in that family! Initially, wasn’t sure I would like the movie as much as I did. I was concerned it would be too childish or not enough depth to hold my attention. I was very wrong. It is a feel good movie based on true events. You will not be disappointed. My wife gives it 9/10. She related more to the parenting aspects than me. Plus, noted that it was a well done movie without sex, swearing (only a couple times), gore, special effects, etc.. A movie adults and children of most ages would enjoy.

Beyond – Movie Review

Rating: 3/10 Skip this movie. Sounded good with Jon Voight, Teri Polo, and Dermot Mulroney (if you do not recognize the last 2 names, you would recognize their faces). Jon Voight, a retiring detective searches for a kidnapped little girl. Terrible acting all the way around, terrible writing full of clichés. So bad, my wife and I were completing sentences before actors could say their lines. Story line has been done a thousand times. Low budget formula movie. All I can think of is Jon Voight owed someone a favor… or his relative wrote the screen play because this movie was worse than a bad TV mystery movie. Editing and directing all equally bad. Feel like I wasted 96 minutes of my life. My wife gave it a 2/10 rating.
