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 [...]

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 [...]

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!
To [...]

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 [...]

Happy New Year! I initially wanted to talk about all my thoughts around starting a fresh decade, but a more pressing matter is at hand. I will get back to it, I promise.
After spending almost two full weeks at home, I have come to the conclusion that there is something very, very wrong with our [...]

Hey everyone!
Holly wanted me to “pop the New Year Cherry” by being the first post of 2010 on our little mind-spill of a website.
Here’s to wishing you all a wonderful new year–may it be filled with love and peace and lots of hanky panky. 
Oh … and here’s to wishing the boys and girls [...]

It’s finally here. The news is out and in a couple of years from now, a few of my other Associated Content articles will be getting lots of readers. I wrote a few pieces about college myths and why I don’t regret not going to college. In about twenty years, I think I will be [...]
