If a tree falls in the wetlands onto a deck, will anyone hear it?
Yes.
Especially at 3am in the morning, as what happened to us early Tuesday during a freak wind storm.
The wetlands on the side and back of our property are full of scrawny dead trees. Despite their proliferation, apparently trees [...]

I took the Hyundai in for a routine oil change and tire rotation. I have been taking my cars to the same mechanic’s shop for around a decade, now. It’s a nice local shop, been in business since 1968. Their prices can’t be beat, their service folks are really nice, and I’ve never felt ripped [...]

This morning at the gas station, I had to go inside to pay. When I got inside, there were three other people in line before me. The cashier asked me if I was there for lottery tickets. When I said no, she said she could wait on me right away. That’s when it dawned on [...]

I just had this thought as I was trolling around on Facebook, looking at photos of people I know. Everyone looks so happy in their photos. People post so many photos of happy memories, pictures of their kids and spouses and pets. You can view their relationship status, too, whether they’re married or divorced or [...]
I have tried writing a blog post for at least the last 2 weeks, but I can’t seem to bring myself to post anything I write. I’m in a funk. A conundrum. I worry I am too wordy, or too passionate about stupid things I have no control over (like health care and the government [...]

If you have nothing left to live for, then you should keep on living just to see what happens next. Never give up; never stop searching; never stop exploring, questioning, or adventuring.
Here is a story of epic proportions. This is the stuff movies are made of, but it’s all real. Unbelievable and horrifying, yet [...]
Ugh, I made a terrible mistake. I looked at the site’s stat page and saw someone had recently viewed a post from over two years ago. I went back and read it. It was about week 2 when we were doing Body for Life.
Damn, I sure used to be optimistic! I sounded happy, too!

Loading ...I recently read an article that said there is a shift in a fundamental belief that Americans have long held near and dear to their hearts. In the past, when times got tough, Americans paid their mortgages while not paying their credit cards. It used to be that home ownership was the Holy Grail. People [...]

I want to write a post, but I can’t think of any one topic to stick with, so this is just kind of a buffet of half-baked thoughts.
Stefan is still out of work and we are still waiting to hear anything from my workplace about the job posting he applied to back before November. [...]

Wow, what a difference between the way in which we welcomed 2000 and 2010! I can hardly believe the 00’s are history. Seems like they were here just yesterday! Back in 1999, I was working at Capital One. We were all frantically busy on setting into place mitigations for the potential big world computer clock [...]
