I was listening to the radio yesterday and caught part of a catchy song. At first I thought it was Nickelback. The lyrics were self-absorbed and whiny, and the sound was, well, Nickelback-y.
Turns out it’s actually by a band I’ve never heard of, Theory of a Deadman. The song is called “Not Meant to Be”. [...]

Security and the Green Hill

I noticed this article today. The line that jumped out at me was, “the 14-year-old girl went missing from a baby-sitting job in 1998″. This is why I feel it’s so important to build a community of people who know and trust and look out for each other. People shouldn’t just disappear. Especially little people.
If it’s meant to be…

A friend of mine went through what was a really rough break up for her and it seemed that the thing that gave her the most comfort was the phrase “If it’s meant to be it’ll happen.”
I’m really bad at being comforting in these kinds of situations, and since that made her feel better [...]
Going to Japan

Hey everybody. Hannah and I are taking off to Japan for two weeks starting 3/25. We originally planned on taking Maya to Japan after she turned 1, but we found this unbelievably good deal on tickets a couple weeks ago, so we’re outta here. I’m so excited! I haven’t been back to Japan in 5 years. [...]
Living in the Country

A lot of my Facebook friends have been taking the “Where should you be living?” quiz, and the most common result is “The country”. I can appreciate that. Some of my favorite pastimes are hiking around in the hills and trees, enjoying beautiful sunrises, and spending a pleasant evening with friends out on the front [...]
Taking out the Trash

I don’t know how it is in your family, but when I was growing up, taking out the trash was a “boy” chore. At first it was my Dad and then when Clayton got bigger it was his job. It was the only chore that did not get shared, (not that I am complaining). I [...]
One of Those Experiences

I was just over at the convenience store to get some candy. While I was there, a young man walking with a cane introduced himself to me and asked if I could help him carry his purchases to his car. As we walked together, he told me what had happened.
His name is Jesse. He used [...]
Pre-Class Tests

This is kind of a chaser thought to my pre-meeting video post. I’m sitting in my accounting class right now, learning about “activity-based costing”, or ABC. ABC is a fancy way of saying that if I have an IT department that provides 1000 person-hours of IT support each month, and if region A uses 20% [...]
Key of Wisdom

I apologize for the pretentious title of this post. It implies that I’ve discovered some deep secret to discovering hidden truths, when, in fact, I’m just talking about a little conversational technique I’ve found useful in making sense of the world. I’ve never heard it addressed anywhere else, so I’ll share it here: Ask questions you [...]
