On Sunday night, while watching football and eating steak tips at Evan’s place (BTW: I realized what a complete dork I was when I found myself watching the Colts vs. the Broncos only because one player was on our fantasy football team!), I had an idea.
I really like interviewing people. I’m a curious person, and [...]

Over the last week or so, I’ve found it nearly impossible to get to bed before midnight. Last night I was determined to go to sleep before 11.
Nope.
I was in bed at 10:30, when I had a brainstorm. I tried to tell myself “Just wait until tomorrow. Go to sleep.” But I couldn’t. I got [...]

Over the past couple of months, I realize that my posts have been more sappy and sentimental than they have in the past. I’m not apologizing for that; I’m just recognizing that they’ve been like that. Today, I was going to write this post, but I held off thinking that it wouldn’t be interesting. Too [...]

I tried to write this post twice already with absolutely dismal results. Some days it is really easy to write a lot. I’ve had days where I end up writing 3 or more posts, but then there are the days like today when the words just don’t want to come out.

Damn that was fun.
Though I was a little anxious at first, I went to Match for Blogtoberfest and ended up having a great time. It was great to put a face to the blogs I read on a regular basis.

I’m writing to you because I love your product in the most appropriate and non-alcoholic way*. And because of that, I would love to sell out to the Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, WI.

(727) 683-1119.
Remember that number. If someone calls you from it, don’t answer. And if they call you every day trying to push travel deals on you, just ignore them. Hopefully they’ll go away.
For the last week, I’ve been getting at least 2 calls a day from (727) 683-1119. They call themselves Travel Agents Direct, and [...]

Over the past year or so, I’ve seen my traffic steadily increase here at tellhimfred.com. And looking at the stats, I see that 48% of the visitors to this site are returning visitors.
Numbers and stats are great, but I’d really like to know who visits this site and comes back from time to time. [...]

Leaving home this morning, I had to pull over and take a picture. Say what you want about Revere Beach (go ahead, everyone does), but when the sunrise over the ocean is the first thing you see when you leave, it’s hard to start your day with a negative point of view.
On Saturday, I [...]
