This year, I'll be joining the Rock/Creek Race Team at events all over the southeast. While the team primarily focuses on endurance trail running, I think they are pretty cool with my multisport adventures. The team is a great group...
Fuller had his three year well child visit this afternoon. His official stats are off the charts for both height and weight, but since they are proportional it isn’t something to worry about. He is 42 1/4 inches tall and...
We took Fuller to see The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything this afternoon. It opened today and I figured Fuller might like to see it after his doctor's appointment. Heck, I wanted to see it. Fuller enjoys Veggie Tales, ever...
You know, we're over seven years beyond the infamous 2000 election, which not only exposed horrible problems with our election systems, but will also forever bear the cast of illegitimacy. You would think that such a disaster would have prompted...
Starbucks. The marriage of good caffeine and wi-fi. I adore nothing more than a good coffee, some catch up time on work related reading, free internet, and people watching. Oh, and what I think is being stood up by a...
2008 is already flying by for me because of the giant task at work known as YEAR END. Here’s what I’ve been thinking about this week:
I’ve been thinking a lot about Ron Paul, and I want to make it...
over our long christmas break, aidan and i had a lot of time to just talk. there were many silly conversations and answering some questions he had about events in the future (friends, girlfriends, apartments, family...crazy, i know!). ...

Charity comes from the heart and can take many forms. We give away our gently worn clothes and donate money to various places throughout the year. During the Christmas season I give Fuller some change to put in the red...
Coming up on a year since this design was launched. This Flickr Slideshow (the thumbnail widget especially) provides a nice reverse-retrospective of the gradual changes. #...
Last night, Mike Huckabee withstood a direct assault from one of his opponents for the Republican nomination.His performance is discussed here:A Big Night For Huckabee...
Of all the countries in Europe Germany was probably the one I knew the least about. Over the last almost-two years I've discovered many treasures I will take home with me and even more that I will have to leave...
Forget Rednecks, here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about folks from Tennessee aka "Orangenecks." If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't work there, you may live in Tennessee. If you've worn shorts...
When presented opportunity to serve a Christmas dinner to inmates at a mid-level security prison, my immediate thought was "of course". When my father-in-law asked for our children to help, my immediate thought was...

My husband and I had...
Perhaps his loony ideas about fiscal matters have led to his campaign's financial crisis (spinmeister claims to the contrary, people don't just spontaneously start working without pay for no reason!)....
If you didn't catch it, check it out on Fox via the internet. It was a very good debate, and pretty entertaining too. I don't know that I've ever written much political comments, but here goes. I'll probably regret it...
I took a different run home due to traffic issues and it was both challenging and rewarding as I got to see a lot of different scenery and was challenged by the new hills. It's also a little bit...
This was my favorite exchange from last night's debate.
CAMERON: Congressman Paul, yet another question about electability. Do you have any, sir? There's always the question as to whether or not...
(LAUGHTER)
... you are, in fact, viable. Your differences with...

Two sources in the campaign, speaking on condition of anonymity, insisted the campaign...
I hadn't used the Moby much up until the other day. I didn't have the energy and I had been told to "stay down" while recovering so I hadn't had much reason to use it just yet. The couple of...
Obama-Clinton: remarkable opscan v. handcount results. Analysts at the Election Defense Alliance (EDA) have confirmed that based on the official results on the New Hampshire Secretary of state web site, there is a remarkable relationship between Obama and Clinton votes, when...
I've put photos of the sea nettle up here before (here and here), but I just can't help myself when I get near that tank -- they're such beautiful, fluid creatures! So here's one more image from my visit...
The ongoing writers strike has had an unintended but predictable consequence: video sites are seeing a lot more traffic. This isn't necessarily solely caused by the strike, but I'm sure it isn't helping. The days when consumers' only option for...
I'm sure you've all heard by now that Unity08 is closing up shop, and will not be seeking ballot access in the 50 states, and will not be aiming to nominate an independent/bipartisan ticket in 2008. I got the...
