Memorial Day
It is Memorial Day, it is rainy, and I am sick. At first I was bummed. Having a cold (which developed into a cough almost immediately) is a real inconvenience. But then I realized that the cough I had from…
Valentine’s Day disappointment
Another VDay come and gone. And it was pretty darn uneventful. We didn’t make any plans, so we ended up staying in. Cards exchanged, some Dark Age of Camelot played. Chinese Takeout for dinner. Thor fell asleep at 9ish, and…

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” Luke 2:13-14 It’s a pass-along wreath! Save the image…
December 24 – morning
It’s another Christmas Eve. And I’m here at work which wouldn’t be so bad if I didn’t have much cooler thing to be doing. I enjoyed the Christmas lights on all the houses on the ride in to work today….
