My Grandfather

2. January 2009

My grandfather has never been an affectionate man. I suppose this may be typical for men of his generation, but nevertheless, he has always been more of a handshaker than a hugger. I have typically shaken that hand and pulled him into a hug since I am just the opposite… more of a hugger than [...]

A colleague of mine, Susanne Goodin, posted this on her blog tonight and decided that I should do so as well. Since I am always willing to propagate a good meme, I humbly offer the following. Six Things About Me You May / May Not Know I drove an ice cream truck one summer. My parents had a [...]

This morning, I attended the church of one of my coworkers. I am taking my last two courses needed to complete my Educational Specialist degree, and one of them is Education in Culturally Diverse Environments.

I really shouldn’t be writing this right now. I should be a responsible adult and get off the computer and go to bed. Instead, I am going to try to be a more responsible writer by posting for the first time in a couple of days. By golly, I hope you appreciate the commitment I [...]

Dear Mr. Vernon, We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong, but we think you’re crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us… In the simplest terms and [...]

Well, not really. Okay, kinda. StuffChristiansLike.net is one of the blogs I check out daily. Jon, the creator / author / creative genius behind Stuff Christians Like took another guy’s great idea in a whole new churchy-direction.

Randy Pausch died today. A professor from Carnegie Mellon University who was diagnosed with cancer more than a year ago, Pausch became a sensation on the interwebs when video from his “Last Lecture” began making the rounds.

I am not sure when I first stumbled across RagamuffinSoul.com, but I know when I first became aware of Carlos Whittaker. Last fall, my bride and I were watching an episode of L.A. Ink on Tivo when this guy got what had to be the most awesome piece of the night. He came in and explained [...]

I originally shared this story as a comment on another post. After what D$ has been posting over on Clouds in My Coffee, I decided that I needed to share a story of my own. I have taken the original post and updated it just a bit. Again, I offer this disclaimer: This story, like [...]

I originally did this back in 2005, so I suppose almost three years is long enough to wait before trying it again.
