When I was in Mobile the other day I saw a wreck happen from 24 floors high. Obviously, I promptly blogged it. Well, the next morning I was checking out a copy of the Mobile Register that the hotel kindly left in front of my room, when I see that the wreck made the newspaper. […]

small amusement
I am amused by life when the song “Stand By Me” begins to play on the radio in the post office and half the people in the long lunch-hour line begin to hum to the tune. How awesome is life?

So, here I am. In Auburn. And Steven? Uhh, he might be in Birmingham. Working. Working at a new job in Birmingham. Maybe. I’m still in Auburn. For now. Hey . . . guess who’s moving? _______________________________ And so it has come to pass that Steven and I are living for the weekend once again, […]
christmas eve, no doubt

I’ve got my ticket, do you? __________________________________ It’s getting close to Thanksgiving, too. Thanksgiving is my sister’s favourite holiday, but I view […]

Lost Vegas
You would think I have never flown before. I am standing just inside Atlanta’s Hartsfield Airport without a clue as to what to do first, and feeling a bit flustered.
