I almost forgot to post today, but I didn’t, so, whew. Today I offer you a Vespa ornament. Well, it’s not officially an official Vespa ornament, but you know what I mean.

Fans of Auburn, Georgia, LSU and all … More An Alabama Confession

My child is inquisitive. He was fascinated with the idea of voting. He knew who our pick for president and was happy to remind me as we made our way to the polls this morning. I took him with me. 4 years from now, I may have to drag him reluctantly, but today he was … More Civic Duties
This is my Friday work setup. I’m not in the office today but have several things to do, so I have hit up my local Starbucks. But, I realize that I might be worth making fun of, a little bit… I’m working in a French press, While typing on my MacBook, Sampling Grizzly Bear on … More Could I BE any more cliche?
