The “Busy” Starts Today

I’m not sad to see it go, but I’m sure I’ll be longing for it in a few weeks. I’ve really enjoyed my six week break before the start of classes this summer. Jeanna and I constantly joke that this will likely be the last summer break ever, and I suppose it’s true. [...]

Speaking of Not Having Much Time Left

I was thinking earlier today that, while I really like this design for the site, I also realize that it’s somewhat hard to read. There are multiple categories scattered all over the page. No offense to you, dear reader (Hi Mom!), but I know your time is valuable and it’d probably be better if I just kept things simple.

Look it up, dear.

I’ve known for a long time that the reason I love the internet is because it completely destroys the learning curve. I’ve always done best in environments where the learning curve is very steep - and I’ve always lost interest when the curve flattens out. Because of this, I don’t generally refer to [...]

Holy Smokes! It Works!

I’ve been meaning to do this for a long time now, but I’m just now getting around to it. Do you remember that post I put up a while back that talked about how this company would send you a free iPod if you threw their advertisers a bone? Do you remember, [...]

A Self Portrait on Flagler Beach, FL

For a long, long time now I have wanted to delve deeply into the word of photography. I’ve gotten some good shots here and there with the Olympus C-4040 and have been very pleased with its functionality and quality. It served us very well in Costa Rica. [...]

The Chore Program

At our old jobs one of the biggest requirements was that we had to create a chore program for the girls that were living with us. After all, when you’re living in a 10,000 square foot house, someone has to keep [...]

Happy Birthday Meme!

Everyone should know about this so I’m posting it here for the whole world to see. Today is Meme’s birthday - so Meme, have a great day ;) I look forward to seeing you soon.

Starting Today

Well. It’s been an emotionally charged whirlwind but today is my first day on my new job. To be frank, it’s one I’ve been seeking for about three years now. I’m just glad they finally decided to create it. We miss our girls at the school sorely, but we also believe [...]

Can This Be Real?

I know. I know. I’m optomistic and young (though not as young as I used to be) so I’ll just use that as my excuse for falling for this and give it a try. After all, it’s not going to cost me a thing - just a few minutes of my time.
There’s [...]
