  • Doggie Wheelchair?

    Today was that time of year again when I took our little Jackaroo to the vet for his yearly examination. As he gets older, the anxiety related with this appointment increases because I’ll never know what the vet is going to say. In the last year he has completely lost ALL of the fur from…

  • An Emotional Outburst

    A week or so ago, Brian came home late because he was busy at work and I totally cried like if he had done the worst thing in the world. He looked at me like I was insane and with a child-like voice told me that he totally didn’t mean to hurt my feelings but…

  • 2008

    Happy 2008! We hope the year has started out well for everyone. The holidays were great and we had a wonderful time spending it with our families. I had to work some of the holidays but we managed just fine. 2008 has been busy so far. I picked up an extra shift at the hospital…

  • Holiday Rewind

    Much has happened this fall (and now winter) that I haven’t posted on here. First, both Monica and I carved pumpkins. Monica’s was the ghost while mine was the spider which I think looked awesome. October became November, and in between bagging leaves, we managed to have great Thanksgiving meals at my uncle’s on Thanksgiving…

  • ACC Champs and more?

    Virginia Tech won another ACC Championship on Saturday, it was awesome!  It was really sweet getting revenge on Boston College, sticking it to the Heisman wannabe, Matt Ryan.  We really made them look silly, and it was glorious. I thought that was going to be the extent of my rooting for the Hokies this weekend…

  • Empty Prize

    So Gore wins the Nobel Peace Prize. For what exactly? A documentary about climate change that is allegedly loaded with inaccuracies? Let’s forget the inaccuracies for a moment. How does a movie about climate change fulfill the purpose of the award? According to wikipedia (yes, I know, far from the pantheon of truthfulness, but I…

  • Orange and maroon is better than orange and purple

    I certainly didn’t mean to overshadow the events of last weekend with what happened to us on Sunday. The Hokies whooped Clemson in true Beamerball fashion, and I have to say that I did not expect that at all. I foresaw our offense bogging down once again, and Clemson running all over us. Half of…

  • Bad Day

    We came back from Blacksburg today after another alumni weekend. There were over 100 alumni there as we celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Virginia Tech chapter of Zeta Psi. We had a great time as usual. The bad day part was today. On the way to Blacksburg on Friday, we had such a horrible…
