It’s been a few weeks since I activated my BlackBerry. I have never been this impressed by a phone platform as quickly or as completely as I have with BlackBerry. After getting a chance to learn the unique functions and menus, I am feeling comfortable with the daily routines now. It’s hard to imagine life [...]

Music is an important medium for many. There are some of us though who can not just listen to music but must feel every tension, absorb each lyrical nuance, and memorize each riff as if it were a personal event. I was raised with the sounds of the 60’s and 70’s needle fed into my [...]

Yesterday was an interesting day.
We started the day by going to the doctors for the kid’s shots. When Kellen was a baby the shots process didn’t bother me much. It’s not that I’m sadistic but I think the delayed pain reaction from him and the necessity of the shots just balanced for me enough that [...]

One of the greatest things about moving back to a city is the selection of stores we have to choose from. In the rural town we lived in before you were limited to Walmart or traveling for most items and needs. I have no illusions about the great integrity of many other companies but none [...]

We have finally moved to our new home. Moving day was tougher than we expected. When you pack your items in boxes they never look as plentiful as they actually are. We were helped (oh so grateful) by my wife’s family and were able to do it in a day with only two trips. There [...]
