The proposal.

Weddings are romantic. They are beautiful. They are a precious time. Our wedding was something I will always remember, and [...]

All in All

For the past year song called “All in All” has been getting a lot of playtime on my ipod because it makes me feel okay to just stand still. Even though it’s a song about time moving too slowly, and for me time is going much too quickly, the whole song feels like my inner [...]

age IS TOO a number… just not the one you think.

So, if you’re my friend on Facebook, I’ve already delved into that topic there, but this is the first blog-worthy thing I’ve thought of in a month so some of you get to read it twice…
So evidently I am old.

I am driving home after an evening meeting at school, and [...]

School started over a month ago, and as normal, we hit the ground running. The days go by in a blur and the weeks fly by at a pace that is sometimes gratifying and at other times alarming. I know I haven’t been writing here much. I”m trying to decide if that bothers me. I [...]

So thanks.

Making the world a better place.

To McDonalds Management,
I am utterly convinced that none of you actually eat the food that pays your salaries. Or, let me be more specific: you don’t feed it to your kids in your car. May I remind you that you are a fast food provider? The key to fast food is that it ought to [...]
