Incessant Expressions

I’ve now hit post #200 on my blog, from a fury of posts in the beginning to slowly trickling updates now that my life is a bit more hectic than it was. Unlike many bloggers who learn things about themselves the more they blog — typically because it’s their first blog, this is probably [...]

Tonight we ate at Rosey Baby so Jess could indulge herself in crawdads for the first time. She loved’em and stated we’ll be going back because she likes the food and [...]

…at least for most people. Ours will be over some time in 2008 once my mother comes down and has her little visit with us for the first time in about a year. What a riot that’s going to be. I’m not really looking forward to it but that’s me.

YEAH! Startup Schwag bag #3 dropped in my mailbox today. The t-shirt is huuuuuuge.

A minority of strongly religious people catch Jerusalem Syndrome on visits to the Holy Land. Can’t say I’m really surprised. It goes right along with speaking in tongues, the healing touch, and perceived divinity and superiority that staunchly religious folk like to believe in.
