The best part about getting skinny, besides the pants, is the real sense of accomplishment. I was the kid that never, ever completed the President’s Physical Fitness program. It’s bad, I know. Not in 3rd grade, or 5th grade, or ever. Because I couldn’t run a mile. I never could. Last year I did, for […]
Check this out y’all, with Georgetown winning last night JUST as I had predicted, I for the first time ever am in first place of the bracket group I did:
There are some things I notice about growing up. I had never run around being involved in charity very often, I can’t lie to you. Must have been since I watched The Inconvenient Truth and then the Tom Brokaw special on global warming (his is actually better, more informative) and then last night I saw […]
Truth be told, I wasn’t really scared to move, just wondering how two people with stay at home ‘jobs’ would meet new people. The recent deluge of mail and phone calls has let me know that there will, indeed, not be a weekend over the next six months where we will not have a visitor, […]

It should come as no surprise that as I get closer to moving, there are going to be things I get to hear about and become really sad that I won’t be able to do. KLRU has an Engaging Speaker series that will be featuring Anne Lamott in May. That one really got me, she’s […]
One summer, I think when I was a sophomore at UT, I threw everything I had in a storage unit and moved to Wimberley to stay with an Aunt. By the end of that summer, thinking things were going to be fine, I moved into a new place, with a new roommate, and took my […]
Al Gore posted this message on his website:

“With no less than three of the biggest afterparties at this year’s SXSW abruptly shut down, it’s no wonder that we’ve been hearing all sorts of crazy conspiracy theories.
