Last night, I participated in a once in a lifetime event. It’s not often that these sorts of things come around, I believe that’s why they’re called once in a lifetime. Anyway, before I tell you what it was, I have to tell you how it came to be.
Every summer, my dad and I make [...]

NaBloPoMo 2009 – PHI
I was reading over some old blog posts from a few years ago and I ran across a couple of things. First of all, I did a lot of the same things I do now and I was, apparently, bitter and rant-filled about the same things. So, let’s hear it for consistency. WOOT! Secondly, I [...]

NaBloPoMo 2009 – PIT
Do you ever find yourself wondering if maybe there are alternate realities? I’m talking of places where you exist, but where everything you know is different. Different city, same you; different language; same you. For example, what if, in another dimension, there is another me, just like me now, who lives in an alternate dimension [...]

NaBloPoMo 2009 – CHW
I stood silently as the casket passed. The stars and stripes that I knew so well draped solemnly over the wooden tomb. A cadre of Marines stood rigidly, prepared to remove the flag. Their quick, but unhurried, and precise movements readily turned the flag into a small, blue triangle adorned with stars. One of them [...]

NaBloPoMo 2009 – NYM
Today, I want to share a little duality that occurred to me. The duality concerns my goal of running from Louisville, KY to Pittsburg, KS and today being the twentieth anniversary of the Berlin Wall coming down.
November 9, 1989 as citizens around the world watched, hundreds, if not thousands, of newly unified Germans proceeded to [...]

NaBloPoMo 2009 – NYY
It’s one of those afternoons. One of those lazy Sunday afternoons where you’d like to just lay around and soak in the fact that you don’t have anything to do. IvyCat and C. and I all took a walk after lunch this afternoon. We walked for about 30 minutes down by the river after feasting [...]

NaBloPoMo 2009 – CHC
I know. I’m running late. I was almost afraid that this would be my shortest NaBloPoMo ever. However, I have an excellent reason…actually, two related reasons.
First of all, last night was IvyCat’s first overnight at my parents’ house. She’d never been away from us for more than a few hours, like date night or something, [...]

NaBloPoMo 2009 – DET
I have a calendar in my office with photographs of Kentucky taken by James Archambeault. The photos are stunning and this is the third year I’ve gotten his calendar because each new month is a delight to experience. This month’s photo is of a Revolutionary War period stone house in Scott County and it’s a [...]

NaBloPoMo 2009 – MIL
I’ve debated all day between ranting about a work issue, complaining about the Yankees World Series win, or trying to find some piece of goodness in the world to rejoice in. I just don’t really have a lot of vested interest in any of it.
I could go on and on about work issues for days, [...]
