Explaining away the cowlick

First, I’m not sure there is any point to this post except to say that I felt the need to write. There, you’ve been warned.
Second, I’m really not sure I could ever explain away my cowlick. I’m not sure what perfect storm of genetic information collided to form the cowlick on the front of my [...]

A happy song

My family is strangely talented in that not one of us really shares a talent. We’re all fairly talented singers, writers, cooks, and so on, but we each are exceedingly blessed in unique ways. My brother’s talent is music, and here’s a link to a song he recently created and submitted as a demo.

And now for something totally random…

It’s been a while since I’ve done something really random, so here we go….
Everyone has at least one voice they can imitate perfectly. I have two, both of which are extraordinarily odd and you’ll never get me to do them unless you catch me  off guard. The first is Bullwinkle from the Rocky & Bullwinkle [...]

A little bit of the random…

Late February and early March are always some of my favorite times of the year. This is that time when you find yourself looking out the window and just sighing… you know it’s coming.

Larry? Who’s Larry?

Every few days for almost three weeks now, I get a call from a man who immediately shouts the name “Larry?” whenever I answer the phone. Each time, I tell him that he has the wrong number. He then reads off the number he meant to dial to confirm his information. Each time, the number [...]

An Interesting Take on Mental Illness

Mental illness has always been an area of interest for me because I know so many people who suffer from it. I have many family members and friends with a mental illness of some kind be it Bi-Polar Disorder, OCD, SAD, Depression, and so on. Like most, I’ve always seen mental illness as a trial; [...]

Five Games I Don’t Like

I figured that since I posted five favorite games, I’d better post five games I dislike….

Phase 10: I have never once completed a full game of Phase 10. In fact, I think it is a myth that it is even possible to complete a game of Phase 10. For any of you that say it [...]
