A few months ago I started thinking about India. I’ve been there…and I wanted to go back. It took me a while to decide if this is also something that God wants. I prayed about it. I thought about it.
And I kept arriving back to something said while I was planning for my last missions [...]

It has become apparent to me that my move to Alaska one year ago has brought the Mavericks unnecessary bad luck. Just another reason for me to move back.
OR…perhaps I’ll move to LA and bring my bad luck to the Clippers and Lakers.

Today has been a day full of doubt. Doubt about where I am, and doubt about where I’m headed. And quite frankly, doubt about where I want to be.
I have no idea what caused this sudden onslaught. I don’t know if it will be gone tomorrow or the next day or the next. I feel [...]

I’ve only been at my job for a little over a month. Subsequently I do not have a lot of vacation time to use for things like THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING. So, I’m at work today. Working. At work.
I really don’t mind it so much. Being here keeps me from being tempted to shop. And [...]

I read the news (thoroughly) almost ever day. Usually I read on-line, occasionally I’ll buy an actual paper and read old-style.
For the past few days I’ve been away from the computer, and away from work, and generally away from current events. (I think, overall, that the break has been good.)
I logged back on this evening [...]

I’ve had a great day. And, for your reading pleasure, I’ve compiled a (not all-inclusive) list of things I’m very thankful for. Some of them obviously on the serious side…and some of them…well, still serious but also frivolous.
Top Chef
Safety on the road
My nieces and nephews
Mountains
Wireless internet
My mom
And my step-dad
My friends
My aunt Cissy
And, the rest of [...]

I’ve been reflecting a lot recently on the unknown. And by reflecting…I mean worrying.
I feel like much of my life right now falls into the “unknown” category. Am I going to move? Depends on the economy. When? Don’t know. Where? Don’t know. What am I going to do? Don’t know. There are even a lot [...]

FYI…I wrote this post shortly before I went to lunch and had Thai chicken and veggies for lunch. So bad…yet so very good. I’m back on the wagon now chugging the water to get all of that sodium out of my system. I’m a little bit disappointed in myself for giving in…but it was a [...]

The title of this blog is also the name of one of my very favorite Superchic[k] songs.
About two years ago I dealt with something that was really devastating. Now…it wasn’t tragic, and certainly would not have been devastating to some people, but it was devastating to me. My heart was broken…and I was low. I [...]

6 degrees to be precise. It was 5 earlier but apparently it’s gotten a little warmer.
This morning when I left for work it was the first morning that it was cold enough for my nose to freeze when I walked outside. Good times.
In other news…I’m cruising (to hopefully sunny Mexico) in less than three months [...]
