I fly out tomorrow morning at the ungodly hour of 7 am to see SPJB for Thanksgiving and his birthday. In an attempt to avoid the inevitable delays, I saw that my chosen airline has a direct flight available that leaves 30 minutes later, and arrives 45 minutes earlier than my current flight selection. Plus [...]
Looking for a humorous site to browse through to pass your day away? Look no farther than Passive-Agressive Notes. I only looked at a couple (cut me some slack, I’m working!) but they’re funny enough to come back to. Like on those days when you wait in line for 20 minutes to buy a pair [...]
peace, love and understanding? I’m struggling a lot right now with trying to give instructions. I’ve always tried to pride myself on my ability to give clear-cut, easy to understand instructions. It seems like recently those instructions are going unread, unheeded, or flat out ignored. The problem stems from haircuts and colors to simple work [...]
I’m starting to wonder, just a little bit, why I blog. It’s mostly for myself, but I also think about who’s reading it. That leads me to the question – “Is anybody out there?”

I completely admit that sometimes, being from the midwest, I am a little naive about when someone knocks on my door. I should take that back – 99% of the time when someone knocks on my door, I don’t answer it, because it’s almost always a solicitor of one type or another. Well, last week [...]
So, here I am in Ohio again…. my third home away from home. (The first home away from home is the Annex, because even though I live there, its not really home. The second home away from home is Stinkypint’s little apartment). I’ve nearly come here often enough that I’ll opt to not get the [...]
Yesterday, my mom and I took part of the afternoon off to head up to the mountains one last time before my November on the road kicks in, and the snow makes it more treacherous than we care to dare. By the time we got there (it took forever to vote…. look for that in [...]
