When Books Could Change Your Life

“A girl I once caught reading Fahrenheit 451 over my shoulder on the subway confessed: “You know, I'm an English lit major, but I've never loved any books like the ones I loved when I was 12 years old.” I fell slightly in love with her when she said that. It was so frank and […]

Dream of Consciousness

Tomorrow's a day off for the working world but for me, it's the first day of a full week off before I begin my new job.  I'm pretty excited to have the week even though I know we'll never get done everything that we want to do.  I mean, our list ranges from easy picks […]

Thank-you Grandpa and Grandma!

Today is my last day at work and it's hard to believe how fast the last year and a half has gone! When we were debating which job I should take back in the spring of 2007, this job in Weyburn seemed to make the most sense in so many ways.  But one question lingered […]

The Relationship Between Fathers and Sons

A photo from this weekend ties in nicely to a thread I started at AskMetaFilter today (and if you haven't read “The Prince of Frogtown“, I'd highly recommend it!)

Friday Late Link – "Your Parents Named You WHAT?" (Aug 1, 2008)

I didn't get a chance to do a post on Friday so this will be my late Friday Fun Link.  I thought it was somewhat appropriate after a weekend of explaining to relatives why we would ever name a child “Pace”.  (Okay, it wasn't that bad but one relative did continually refer to him as […]
