It features parade, lots of arts and performances, and we had much fun there counting down the clock while watching the fire work display.

Reading Time: < 1 minute I heard about this 80-20 rule from a friend a while ago. It says “we spend 20% of our effort to accomplish 80% of the things; and then we spend remaining 80% of the time & effort to complete the remaining 20%…” I think that pretty well summerize what I was doing at my work

Reading Time: < 1 minute I am watching the annual Thanksgiving parade in downtown St. Louis (from TV). The weather here is great. I went to Panera Bread and the newspaper is already gone (hint: people are gettting the newspaper ad. and do research about tomorrow’s shopping deals now). Of course you can get the electronic version from dealsea.com nowadays. Seriously, I
