Random Thoughts
Those crisp fall nights are finally starting, and it’s only a matter of time before I can start having a crackling fire going. I used to really care about baseball, but I haven’t followed it much over the last few years. Still, this is utterly amazing. I don’t think the Hokies are very good. I…

Massaman and Pad Thai
Just sitting here on Sunday evening watching my fantasy football hopes go up in flames once again while I change a few things on the site. Pretty relaxing weekend here. Just listened to the Hokie game yesterday (a drubbing of William & Mary) and ran a few errands last night, followed by a thoroughly enjoyable…

September
It’s been a busy summer around here and can’t believe it’s September already. Last month we went to Puerto Rico to celebrate my grandmother’s 97th birthday and had a lot of fun. She is doing great and we loved spending that special day with her. We were afraid we weren’t going to make it due…

It’s Official
I am now a Licensed Registered Nurse. I took my state licensing exam last week and passed it. It was the craziest, most anxious day of my entire life and I’m still not sure how I managed to answer all the questions but somehow I pulled it off. Most people know the results within 24…

The “gotcha” phone company
In case you haven’t heard, there was a shake-up in the VOIP market. We got bit by the Sunrocket closure, but so far our service is still working…for the most part. Voicemail is down, but we can still make and receive phone calls. We’ve had VOIP for over a year and a half now, and…

I’ve been waiting for this movie since I was ten years old.
We saw the new Transformers movie last week, and I just have two words for you. Simply awesome. And now for some more words. I leaned over right before the movie started and loudly whispered the title of this post to Monica and Bucky, but I know that many others in the theater were thinking…

Thoughts on the April 16th tragedy
A couple of weeks ago, I attended an event sponsored by the Tidewater Chapter of the Virginia Tech Alumni Association. There, a man by the name of Dr. James Robertson (an Alumni Distinguished Professor at Virginia Tech) gave a speech entitled “Reflections of the Civil War”. It was fantastic – I find myself enjoying these…

The one where Monica graduates from nursing school
So I’m a little late with these but here are Monica’s graduation photos. I am so proud of her. It was a LOT of work, and there were some tough times, but with God’s grace, she persevered and came through with flying colors (i.e. great grades). There is no way I could have done what…
