Five Fotos Friday: Growing Up Star Wars Edition

May 15, 2009

I’ve been meaning to post some pictures to the Growing Up Star Wars Flickr Group for a while now, so this as good a time as any to start going through the boxes and boxes of completely disorganized photos and see what else I can find to embarrass myself with each week. Washington Irving Elementary [...]

Remember to make a note not to forget

May 13, 2009

First Note in the New Notebook: What you write must exist in two places or it doesn’t really exist (which must also be the reason we have doppelgangers). A few weeks ago, I was talking to Amy about my recent layoff scare, and how it scared me enough to consider doing something drastic, like trying [...]

Shift

May 12, 2009

I had a little bit of a layoff scare a few weeks ago, but I survived…for now. About a month ago, my part-time job disappeared, so the idea of losing my “real” job (the one with the bigger paycheck and the great health insurance) had me a little freaked out. Not only would we not [...]

A tiny wrinkle

March 9, 2009

So, a couple of weeks ago, I had Lasik eye surgery. Everything when smoothly, and I have 20/20 vision with each eye. With both eyes, my vision is a little bit better than 20/20. Today, I went back for my second follow-up appointment and was told that there is a small wrinkle in the flap [...]

2009 Resolution: Give to at least one charity each month

January 1, 2009

One of the things I’m working on this year is to be more mindful of all the goods things I have in my life, and give more to charities I like to help them help others. And when I say “give more”, I really mean “any” because I don’t think I gave anything to any [...]

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.

December 21, 2008

2008 is coming to a close, and I’m making big plans for 2009. Looking back, there were plenty of goals I failed to achieve this year. I didn’t lose as much weight as I wanted to, for example. But that’s okay. I like having grand plans. I think I need my plans to be grand. [...]

I’m Still Here

January 22, 2008

We’ve been in the process of moving, and things are just piled and stacked everywhere. I haven’t had a chance to get much of anything sorted yet. I thought I would be able to get something done last night, but I was on-call for Traci and had to go watch the beast for a few [...]

Happy 2008!

January 1, 2008

As I mentioned last year, I have given up trying to turn my hopes, dreams, goals, projects, etc. into reality. So, here’s a few things I’ll be doing this year: Writing a novel — It’s a science fiction story (or speculative fiction as the kids like to call it these days). It will be approximately [...]

Changes Are A’Brewin’

December 18, 2007

There will be plenty of changes for us next year. The biggest one, which Cindy has already mentioned, is that we are moving in with my mom for the next two years to help her deal with…well, everything really. (I’m sure there’ll be stories to tell.) Also, for the past year I’ve been working two [...]
