Every year, without fail, I get sick of having a website. In truth, I’m sure everyone who has a wesbite gets sick of having a website from time to time, because it’s probably a side-effect of maintaining a long-running project. But as always, instead of just disappearing without a trace, I’m going to […]

Once upon a time, when I worked for the city recreation department, my boss had these meetings that started at 7:30 a.m. which I was required to attend because I had to take minutes. I always thought everyone was insane, because really, who schedules things for 7:30 a.m.? Now, I am awake every […]

This is turquoise, black onyx and sterling silver. Some Bali silver too, if you want to get technical.

This is what I was going to write about yesterday, before I got sidetracked by the mail from Mrs. Cletus’s personal injury lawyer.

Incident #1 – I was in Chicago in a car full of giggling teenage girls of which I was just one of several. We were stopped at a traffic light next to a […]

There’s this lady who goes to my church who I like a lot, but who happens to be a little quirky. She never fails to crack me up for one reason or another. Today’s reason was the following conversation:
Me: (Standing idly near the back of the sanctuary.) Hi.
Her: Hi. Do you speak Spanish?
Me: […]

Probably not, so I’ll tell you. I just realized that this is the first Saturday I’ve had in a really long time without some obligation hanging over my head. You know what this means? It means that I’m probably going to lay around and watch DVDs all day while thinking about how […]

When I was a kid, I thought it would be cool to be an adult because adults got to write checks. Writing checks seemed awesome, because it wasn’t like spending actual money, rather, it was just writing down some numbers and having people trust you. Now that I am an adult, writing checks […]
