We adopted this beautiful boy from the animal shelter last Friday.  They tell me he is (in part) Norwegian Elkhound.  Melissa and the boys gifted him to me for an early Father's Day. Over the weekend we noticed he was acting lethargic and refusing to eat anything. He had diarrhea and a persistent cough. Upon contacting the veterinarian, we discovered that the animal shelter had suffered an

Wednesday night 5/12, I'm headed down to Fayette Nam to hear my running buddy Nathan's band.  I know it's a school night, so I'll be taking an old-man nap earlier.  If you live around here and would like to come along, give me a holla.

Melissa and I have been listening to How To Love by Gordon Livingston, M.D.  It's an in-your-face challenge to the Hollywood happy endings you and I bought into in our formative years, and still harbor within the adolescent recesses of our psyches. :) I may share more thoughts about it as I listen and re-listen to it.  Here's something that's resonating with me today: Given: I've built walls

Wow! I'm really out of practice with blogging. It used to be second nature. Using Facebook appears to have reduced me to pithy phrases. Perhaps I can regain the ability to think in complete sentences. Then maybe paragraphs. Who knows, I might someday achieve an essay! Really just kind of kidding around. Who of us has time to read lengthy explanations of people's personal viewpoints? Not

I see that I haven't posted since December 2008. I used to be such a good little blogger back in the day. We'll see if I can get the old blog juices flowing again. Facebook may have hindered my ability to compose anything larger than the status update character limit.

So gas prices inexplicably shoot through the roof. Auto makers and fuel companies begin advertising "green" alternatives. They're testing the market. They want to see what we'll do when push comes to shove. So, let's play along. Let's make a green economy the hottest market yet.I've just bought a hybrid vehicle:
