I am trying to figure out what to do here now. I don’t know the answer yet. Times are very different than they were 9 years ago when I started blogging, and it doesn’t fit the same way into my life anymore. So I need to come up with some way to use this, and [...]
Somehow I ended up forgetting that I have a blog for a few months. I really didn’t mean to do that. Life has just been busy, and overwhelming. And update on things in a few days. I promise.
It is after Christmas. Whoops. I’ve been very busy. So let’s say I’ll get you an “end of the year” letter in the next few days.
Happy Birthday, Mom! You deserve it! (I don’t really fully understand what that means, but it sounds good.)
And today you make it one year closer to 90. Congrats on truckin’ along! Happy Birthday!
I just booked my next trip to California to visit Phil. This will be the 6th trip that I have made there. (Seventh, if you want to count a trip that I don’t.) It is also only my second trip this year, which means that I have slipped. Last year I managed 3, but this [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
- 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!
