Back in the saddle...and other terrible cliches

Some of you may have wondered what happen to the Pete the Planner blog. You may have thought that I was part of the Hollywood Writer's Strike. You may have thought that I was on vacation. You may have though that I was lazy. You may have thought that I had run out of original material. Well, some of you are right.

1. When people have nothing to do, spending money seems like a relatively good idea.

1. I used a lot of cash during transaction, and ended up with an incredible amount of coinage.

1. Painting a room is an acquired skill, not something you randomly do on a Saturday

1. If I had a dollar for every bowl game...

On a serious note. Did you do it? Did you speak the infamous phrase?

The blog is back and strong. Stay tuned for a great year.
