The flag image with this post is of the front of my house. We are getting ready for our back yard Memorial Day cookout, which may include around 30 people (with 18 kids!!). Right now, Stacy is getting after me to peel eggs for deviled eggs and get the potatoes ready for the potato salad, but I wanted to take a brief moment.
As we are all busy getting ready to host or go to a Memorial Day cookout or party, lets all take a moment to remember what this day is all about and give thanks. Memorial day commemorates the men and women who have laid down their lives in service to our country. Formerly Decoration Day, this day was created after the War Between the States to honor fallen Union soldiers. It was later renamed and extended after WWI to honor all soldiers who died while in military service.
On behalf of myself and my family, I would like to thank those currently in service to our country and to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedom.
I recently had a chance to use an Air Oasis AO3000 Air Purifier in one of the problem spots in my home. In this review, I cover the unit itself, some of the technology it utilizes, and my experience. At the end of this post, I also include a resource where you can find recommended air purifiers for the solution you seek or application area.
About Air Oasis & Technology
Air Oasis air purifiers are made in the United States. All of their units use Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO) technology where air is brought into the internal chamber and exposed to high-power 254 nm ultraviolet light and it’s Nickel HCT catalyst. This process has become very popular in that it destroys bacteria and viruses. It the same time, it neutralizes odors. Air Oasis claims that their units are also effective in Continue reading »
SteriPEN water Sterilizer
A couple of days ago I got a call from a friend. She knows that I love to travel and have dragged my children all over Europe a few parts of Africa and the USA in the belief that travel broadens the mind. (I’m still convinced it does). We’ve been to some weird and wonderful places, so I wasn’t really surprised that she asked me for advice on what she’d need to take with her on her first major foreign trip. What was surprising was my answer. I enjoy ancient and historic places, but I’m no Indiana Jones. I like luxury travel, from suites on cruise ships to four and five star hotels, my progress tends to be slow and stately. I am not into camping (though I admire those who are), so she was surprised when I told her that the first thing she needed was a water sterilizer. Continue reading »

The first time I bought a rowing machine, it was a complete waste of time. It took up a lot of space in my bathroom and was used, well, not nearly as often as it should have been if I had wanted to see some effect. When I think back on the time I wasted, it really makes me feel bad.
Then several years later I met a personal trainer. Martin wasn’t one of these muscle bound types that look down on ordinary mortals. I could tell that he couldn’t understand how anyone could let themselves get into (or rather out of) shape like I was, but Martin was interesting to meet and fun to talk to. He really wanted to make a difference. His studio had all the basics, including a rowing machine and I was anxious that my son would make exercise a regular part of his life, so we began to travel to see Martin on a regular basis.
