Floor Transplant 101
We just completed our THIRD floor transplant! Just one more unit to finish. We are fortunate enough to have an occupancy rate between 95 and100% which leaves little time for installation but we are certainly not complaining. We have such dedicated volunteers that we are able to strip carpeting, lay flooring, clean and spruce up [...]
Moose Lodge Fundraiser/Laramie, WY
We at Transplant Living Centers are extremely grateful to Tina Pacheco West, a former resident who stayed with her parents (Frank and Esther) while her father was recovering from a lung transplant. While Tina and her family stayed with us, I was fortunate to get to know all of them well. We developed a friendship [...]

EXCITING AUGUST (except for Giants/Rockies fans)
First of all, as of today, the SF Giants are seven games out of first place and the Rockies are 15 down. Just had to get that out of the way before I could concentrate on all that has been going on for the past six weeks or so. August was a busy, exciting month [...]
John Stansbery (Rockies Fan)
John is the newest addition to our team here at Transplant Living Centers. Although he is a Rockies fan (and I, of course, am a Giants fan), I try extremely hard not to compare the two teams. He is already aware of the fact that the Giants won the World Series but faithfully wears his [...]

Final Qwest Update
Thursday, July 14 was my last phone call with my friends’ Amanda and Paul at Qwest Small Business services. I was reluctant, at first, to work with Qwest in exchange for my honest opinion about their services ONLY. Of course, our phones and internet are through Qwest which is why we were offered help with [...]
Sean’s 34 Mile Story

It was a normal day; I even played basketball that night. The next morning when I was going to work, I could [...]
Happy 4th!
Since I started this blog with the help of Qwest Business I have had increasing success using all available social networking tools. I am mentioning Qwest because they are helping TLC with social media in exchange for my honest opinion about their services. As I stated in previous posts, all my interactions with the Qwest [...]
