Past memories, present actions
Over the past two days my sweetie and I cleaned out our guest-bedroom-turned-junk-room. Our efforts resulted in two trips to the local non-profit thrift store, oodles of electronics that will be wiped clean and then recycled, and the uncovering and … Continue reading
“Winter Break” can be confusing
As I was running errands today, I drove past the local high school, and saw this sign: Hmm…. What I found even more amusing than the sign was the fact that I first questioned myself. I thought, “Wait, this is … Continue reading

My Christmas day was exactly in the middle, a … Continue reading

I don’t have many friends who knew me when I was a kid. Throughout my life I’ve tended to have a small number of deeply personal friends as compared to a large number of acquaintances; and this is fine, it … Continue reading
Smile, kiddo.
