For anyone out there reading this who has had arepas before (a very cool little Venezuelan/South American treat) I have found Arepa mix in our local grocery stores!!! (Used to have to order it online…) Now you can go to Wegmans and pick up a bag of Goya’s Masarepa for just a couple bucks and…
Personal
I Guess I Like Food…
Well, as you know, yesterday was my birthday, and it was fantastic. My wife and kids did a great job of celebrating me (but not too much, cause that just gets a little weird for me) and I told the boys at the end of the day that I felt special (thanks to them). The…
A Few Thoughts Over Breakfast
I’m sitting here in my gym clothes, ready to get my weekly intense excersize (I play basketball with a couple other guys on Wednesday mornings) and just thought I’d catch y’all up on the latest happenings around here. We got back Sunday night at 1am from our visit with my parents and other extended family…
Fingernails and Jesus
This morning as the boys and I were reading through John (our latest morning read) I was struck by a simple line that John (who is known as “The Baptist”) spoke. Regarding Jesus baptizing more people than he was at that moment, he replied, “No one can do anything unless God in heaven allows it.”…
Group Think
If you know me in the slightest, you know that I am not at all the political sort. When I was at Michigan State, almost 15 years ago now, we lived in suites (two rooms shared a common bathroom). One of the guys in the other suite connected to mine was a super, duper, dee-duper…
Vacation
Some of you reading this know that we have been on vacation for the past week. Now, all of you reading this know that. :-) It was a very different vacation in that we did not know where we would be spending it even up to the eve of the first day of the week…
Happy Anniversary!
Today is the day recognized by the state and several hundred in attendance that Jen & I were married. Nine years ago today. We have lived so many amazing adventures together, and it certainly has not dulled any! We’re in the middle of the continuing adventure! Add four kids to that mix and we’ve certainly…
They
I was privy to a conversation recently where a very benign little pronoun grabbed my attention. They. Simple enough. Harmless enough. But something about the way it was being used was bothering me. The context of the situation was quite harmless itself. The conversation had turned to a young college graduate who was embarking on…
Motivated
I’m sitting on my front porch right now, with a cup of Chai, and my PowerBook, getting ready to write a basic enews and do a few updates to the basic website, and I am currently being entertained by the elementary kids trying to run a mile around the track that is across the street…
Snow?
Wow! That’s cool! Jen mentioned that there may be snowflakes this week, and there they are on my weather widget! SNOW!! We had very little last year, so I am hoping that we can make up for it this fall/winter/spring! :-) Bring on the snow flakes!
