Hello!

Hello guys. Since most of the first of you visiting here are from my wife Ellie's blog, A Vida Em Um Clique, I'll let you know a couple of things:

First, I'm all U.S.A. My parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents were all, like me, born in the U.S.A., and lived/have lived their entire lives here. I personally have always lived in Utah.

Like most Utahns, I am LDS (also known as Mormon). I have never smoked, never drank alcohol, and quite frankly, I don't understand the desire to do either.

I'm cheap. Really, I insist on good deals, and/or good value. Ellie, by the way, is cheaper than me. Mervyn's sales = Good Value. Mervyn's regular prices = Bad Value. Macy's anything = Nosebleeds, nausea, and a burning odor coming from your credit card.

I don't read, write, or speak Portuguese. Any comments left on my blog in Portuguese I will have to ask Ellie to translate for me. Ellie, if you leave a comment in Portuguese, I will assume you are making fun of me.

Anyway, these things are just so you can get a feel for my perspective. When I feel it's needed, I will update this list. Now, just read the blog and enjoy, or at least, read the blog. And make sure to leave a comment on Ellie's blog. She always complains that not even the flies are visiting...
