My January Stockpile
January 20, 2008 ·
A short list of thoughts:
- I think that the whole world eats toast the wrong way. Try eating it with the butter side down. If you’re going to get the calories anyway, let your taste buds have that butter bath.
- What is it about the Beach Boys music that can make you feel so care free and young again? I rarely turn them on, but when they come up in an iTunes shuffle it’s like instant childhood.
- Among my gifts for Christmas were slippers, ties, and a bottle of aftershave. Am I officially a dad now?
- This time of year, a common questions seems to be, “What is your New Year’s Resolution?” Personally, I resolved to increase my knowledge thru reading more books. But, I think you’re setting yourself up for failure when a goal is made so generally so I had to plan it out.
I have divided the year into 26 two-week periods. I’ve assigned a book to each period. I have reminder emails coming as to when each book should be started, and another email coming half way thru the period so I know that I should be half way done at that point. I do most of my reading in the morning before Cole and Candace get out of bed and surely you’ll be seeing some book reviews here as I finish the better ones.
- This past week while I was in San Francsico, I watched the movie “The Great Debaters.” It was an excellent movie. If you can’t get out to see it, add it to your Netflix Queue so you’re sure to see it later.

About Me
My name is Brian Stucki. I live in Las Vegas with my wife Candace and my sons Cole and Will. Other interests include my company, my religion, sports, and learning about history.
Feel free to contact me.
I love how you think out of the box. I never thought about eating toast upside down.
If oneof those books you are reading is that one on Economics you told me about, I’d like to borrow it sometime?
I love mothly insights into Brian’s brain.
But I disagree with the butter bath. The impact of the butter directly on my tongue would make me sick. Way too greasy. I like to use the bread as a cushion between the butter and my taste buds. Maybe that’d be different if I had REAL butter instead of margarine spread…
I am looking forward to book reviews. They are my main source of entertainment.
I agree about the upside down toast thing. I eat my toast like that a lot of the time. Its much more delicious
I wouldn’t want to eat my toast that way because it would be too much butter taste. But I do think that way when I eat a peanut butter & honey sandwich. Since I hate peanut butter, I always eat it with the honey side down so I will taste the honey more than the peanut butter.
monthly collaborations of your thoughts are always entertaining; I’m glad Jamie is starting to do them as well. Did you know the French put jam on their toast and THEN the butter? hm.
Beach Boys making you feel young and carefree is something I can relate too. Me and Tessa loooved the beach boys by the pool.
I’m looking forward to the book reviews! Glad you liked The Great Debaters. I really enjoyed it as well.
