Tony's Personal Pan Pizza and my local swim club

My family belongs to a local swim club that has a very large outdoor pool complete with a snack shack, which sells the basics (deep dish mini pizzas, pretzels, chips, soft drinks/beer, etc).  Well the mini deep dish pizzas are a favorite of many of the kids at the pool (including mine) and when the pool closes down on Labor Day Weekend, it is with great sadness that the kids favorite pizza is no longer available for purchase.  As you know, kids in general are very picky eaters, and so as a parent of a young child, it is easier to just find something the kid will eat and continue serving them that indefinitely. Since the cheese pizza option was my youngest kid's favorite (we ordered one every visit to the pool this summer; a total of probably 25-30 pizzas were purchased over a 3 month time frame). I asked a swim club associate who supplies their pizza and he told me it was from Sysco, but the brand was Tony's.  When I googled, "Tony's Personal Cheese Pizza", I ...

Shit Happens

My mother-in-law recently got a new puppy, who is a Aussie Doodle mix.  He is full of energy, runs like the wind, and from what I noticed, happens to poop a lot.  I haven't owned a dog in a long time, so he may poop normally but to me, it always seems like when I take him for a walk or bring over to my house, he poops 2-3 times.  And he is quick to do it.  Yes, he does the tell-tale circle the wagon move prior to the event, but sometimes it is really hard to find the exact spot, until you are standing in it (as you all surely know); And since dog poop comes out in the primary camo colors (green/brown), it is very hard to spot in the grass.  Why hasn't anyone figured out a way to help change the colors of dog poop, so that it is easier to locate within a yard? I'd think that if a dog ate kibble that was dyed or drank water with a dye, that his/her poop would change color and be easier to spot in a green/brown yard.  I'd think that the ideal natural dye w...

Automatic Alerts created for each Google Contact

The other day I was doing a search for an old friend, someone who I knew pretty well but haven't stayed in touch with these last 5-10 years.  I've moved 3 or 4 times to different cities since then and I was trying to remember the name of the company he helped to start but was having a hard time remembering it.  Since I was already on Linkedin, I search for his name but could not find his Linkedin profile which was weird, but perhaps he never had one or deleted it for some reason.  So next I search thru my Gmail inbox looking for an old email exchange with this contact, and once I found it, I was able to see the company's name as part of his email address.  I then went to the company's website and looked at the "About" section which I remember previously had descriptions of all the co-founders and main principals.  Well when I looked this time, his name had been scrubbed off the page.  There was no mention of him at all on the company website, which again wa...
