But with work, and working on the house, and skating, and preparing for Europe, I haven’t had much time to write. I’ve also been feeling very anxious again, which sort of saps away any of my energy.
That having been said, this blog is in for a mini resurgence, because while I am in Europe, I [...]
In the continuing attempt to make my house a pleasant place to live, my lovely parents have offered to pay a large portion of the cost of redoing my main bathroom. For those of you who have been to my house, you know how strange my bathroom is. It doesn’t have a real door, the [...]
As some of you may know, I did a good job at getting through school while doing a limited amount of work. Pretty much the bare minimum. And while at the time that was good, it has left me now feeling like perhaps I missed out on some stuff, especially in one or two of [...]
I’m sure everyone will be happy to know that I have just renewed this domain name for another year. What does that mean for you? Well it means that at least for another year I’ll be here semi-randomly, writing things of little or no consequence?
And what does this mean for me? Another year of possible [...]
Mom! It is your birthday! Happy Birthday!
It is a pretty well known fact that I am sort of an aviation aficionado. If by “aficionado” we mean someone who spends hours reading about aviation, planning trips around aviation, simulating aviation, boring his friends with aviation.
Well yesterday was a pretty big day. It was the first flight of Boeing’s newest airliner, the 787. [...]
The show “Community” did an excellent job last night of describing in general how I feel about religion.
“To me, religion is like Paul Rudd. I see the appeal, and I would never take it away from anyone, but I would also never stand in line for it.”
For the last two years my life has been completely disrupted because one of the main East-West highways in St. Louis has been shut down to be completely rebuilt. It also happens to be the highway that is 3 blocks north of my house, and a key road for getting to my parents, work, and [...]
As has been discussed on here before, I’m kind of an idiot when it comes to how I travel. I have been known to base my travel arrangements on the most interesting flights, and not on what will make my life the easiest. Well on Tuesday, on my trip back from California, I hit a [...]
You have to think of things to write about. And I’m pretty convinced that my life just isn’t that interesting. At least, not in the way that it used to be.
I’ve been writing this blog for going on 7 years, I think. I could be wrong, but it is somewhere close to that. And I’m [...]
- Driving in the rain is not a lot of fun. The drive from Louisville to Charleston was through the rain for about 60% of the time. The drive from Atlanta to St. Louis was about 85% through the rain. I didn’t realize how difficult it would be to drive in the rain, but with [...]
I go to the doctor a lot. I mean, a LOT. Probably way more than you. In the last four months, I’ve been close to 10 times. I go at LEAST four times a year just for my diabetes doctor. Then I also have to go to the skin doctor, the eye doctor, often I [...]
Happy Birthday, Baba! Your baklava is on the way.
Happy Birthday, Kelly! You have been making my life wonderful and crazy for more than 3 years. I love you so much I don’t think you even know. Good luck with your 16 remaining wishes!
I have this real problem with jobs. It seems to happen around the same time, I’m noticing. After about 2 years at a given place, I start to get real antsy. And as it turns out, today is my 2 year anniversary here. And so guess what? Yep, I’m getting antsy.
I don’t know what to [...]
In the past I’ve talked about making ridiculous travel choices based on what airplane I wanted to fly. Usually it isn’t that ridiculous, though. There is only 1 non-stop flight between here and San Francisco, so usually, unless you want to pay extra, you’re going to be making a connection somewhere. And as long as [...]
So the wedding is over, and it went really, really well. And for those of you that missed it, I have posted what I said online. This doesn’t include the vows, but it does get the meat and potatoes. Thanks to Janice for filming this!
So the time has almost come. This Saturday Phil and Helen are getting married. Between now and then, I have to accomplish the following things: get pants hemmed, go to soccer game, go to roller skating, buy 44 bottles of cider, plan party for Phil, get hair cut, possibly shave, finish writing wedding ceremony, pick [...]
So you may have noticed that I haven’t been posting as much. Well, it turns out that my anxiety wasn’t nearly as gone as I thought it was. In face, in some ways, it is back worse than ever. I’ve been fighting with that, and so again, the blog has to wait.
I don’t want anyone [...]
As most of you know, today is my Dad’s birthday. So let’s all wish him a big Happy Birthday!
