I live a block from a fairly main road, in my hometown, but it might as well be miles. I can barely hear cars, and in the Summer, the most noise my street offers is the sound of a basketball bouncing rhythmically down the street, or the rustle of leaves in trees. That describes 5 [...]

My back is bothering me today, so I stayed home to work this morning and I thought I’d take a break and update you on what I’ve been up to lately. Let me start off assuring you that my back is ok. It is just strange that in the past day, whenever I sneeze, my [...]

I haven’t blogged much about my daily comings and goings. I haven’t had a lot to say recently, and I’ve been distracted with work. I’ve tried to Twitter a bit, when the service is available, but I haven’t written actual paragraphs in at least several days. It is Tuesday, here in the great Midwest, and [...]
