A year ago today we closed on our house in Auburn. Today we got a contract on it. Funny how the timing works out.

I smell a smell of Fungus
I first walked into Funchess Hall as a timid college freshmen, looking for the office of my assigned academic advisor. I had fantasies of being a marine biologist at the time and they all harbored in the back corner of Funchess. The first time I went down the stairs to the bottom floor it felt […]
designs on bad ice cream
A new ice cream parlor has opened up in the area recently and I have since visited it twice to try it out — one always looks for good ice cream haunts. Unfortunately, this place is on strike two in my mind, and I doubt I’ll give them a chance for a strike three. On […]
stamped and delivered
I am a bit behind on sending out my Christmas cards this year. I wrote them up last night and went to the post office this morning to pick up some holiday stamps and send them off. As I was waiting in line to purchase some stamps, there was a display showing all of the […]
memories of a Christmas present past
It’s officially after Thanksgiving, so now I can partake of my Christmas playlist at leisure. My iPod’s been dying to play this playlist since April — I know because it’s tried to slip the occasional Christmas song into normal music, like it’s so sly. Skip button, buddy.

thoughts on the movie
We saw the 9:30 showing of Harry Potter last night. “So, how was it?!” you ask. I can only think of three words. Ho. Lee. Shit. I don’t see how the Iron Bowl can beat that, but I’ll let it have a shot anyway. Chills, man. Chills. Awesome. Oh . . . and War Eagle!!!

back
I am back home, and with pictures! You can view the lot of them right here. I’m sorry about the whole “this is how this picture got here and this is how you can view it” tags at the end of every picture I sent via my cell phone. It’s never done that before and […]
I’m just plane crazy
I can’t recall if I’ve mentioned this before, but I’m going to be getting on a plane in two weeks, two days plus an assorted number of hours. Not that it’s been on my mind or anything. I’m headed to Las Vegas, Nevada on a nifty business conference trip. This will be very interesting because […]
a boat, a city, and some coffee
Two and a half years ago, I had the wonderful opportunity to take a vacation on a cruise ship with Steven and his family, courtesy his grandparents and their 50th anniversary celebration plans. Our ship, docked in New Orleans, floated us down the Mississippi and out into the Gulf of Mexico, headed for Cancun and […]
