A Gift from Robin
February 19th, 2009 by Jason
Most everyone knows that I’m a huge fan of plaid lumberjack shirts but some may not be aware of the fact that Robin isn’t the biggest fan of some of my favorite shirts. She’s especially not too big of a fan of my blue plaid shirt. That’s why I was SUPER surprise today when I got home from work- she went to the store and found a red version of the shirt on sale. And of course she bought it for me, I totally thought she was going to burn my blue one. Thanks Robin!
Happy Birthday Luke!

On the phone w/ Robin
February 5th, 2009 by JasonThis is a pre-iPhone pic. I don’t remember what we were talking about but it must have been pretty interesting…
Post from the iPhone
February 1st, 2009 by JasonI’m writing this post on my new iPhone (thanks Robin & Mom). Needless to say it’s AWESOME! Again a big thanks to Robin. This is the second iPhone I got, the first one’s headset speaker didn’t work. It sucked. I could place a call but couldn’t hear it without putting it on speaker phone. I kinda threw a fit (hence thanking Robin twice). But it’s working good now and I’m loving it. Sorry Sprint- I gave you WAY too much money over the years. The Sprint Storm can suck it! It runs Windows- enough said.
