During lunch, something occurred to me which never has. Those who serve in the military do so to, more than anything else, protect and preserve our freedom and democracy, right? That’s a given, albeit something many Americans have never thought about and therefore, don’t appreciate. Secondly, it’s […]
Oh, Asheville, how we miss thee

This is the kind of really cool stuff that happens back home. The best part is that it’s typically not organized by the city or anything; people just sort of spontaneously get together and do this kind of thing.

*“All American Bluegrass Girl” by Rhonda Vincent and the Rage. This woman and her band have been receiving a great deal of praise and attention–and they deserve it. Check them out.
We listen to a couple of radio stations from the Western North Carolina area via the internet. It’s a wonderful thing to be able […]
Yes, Father, I believe it is time for the cessation of my personal cleaning ritual

Each night, when we give Maggie her bath, one of three things happens which leads to her getting out and wrapped in a towel: She begins getting grouchy; she stands up and reaches for us; or we, as parents, think she’s been in there long enough, i.e. we’re getting tired and would like to get […]

*Jake’s brother, after having made a fantastic boo-boo.
My job really sucks sometimes. Actually, it isn’t the job: I love the students most of the time, the work itself takes me out my comfort zone and is very challenging, and I have a finished product every six weeks. The problems pretty much center around my inability […]

*Heaven by Live. Live is, of course, Erin’s favorite band. I have been forced to go see them at least twice. Actually, when they rock out, they’re pretty good.
I think I turned a corner this morning; I fell in love with another girl.
Some people would have you believe good parents love their children right out […]

Some of you might be wondering, “Where’s the ceremony?” over Maggie’s birthday. Well, our normal excuse regarding lack of material here applies: We’ve been pretty busy. That said, we aren’t too busy to have fun for the occasion. I took off work today, we’re going to have a party on Saturday, and some family (Erin’s […]

*I Just Wanna Go Huntin’ by Ted NugentÂ
Well, I was finally able to do it. Yesterday, Maggie and I took a trip to Boise (Erin had her first day long break from the little one) and purchased a Remington 30-06, Model 700. For those of you who don’t know, that’s a rifle. We found it […]

TwoWheelDrive, a very cool hiking site, turned me on to this teacher in-service day conducted near home recently. It was based on a rising movement called No Child Left Inside (obviously a play on words–the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001), growing largely out of the book Last […]
