As you can tell, I’ve been away from this journal for a while now. It’s been quite a crazy month and I hope those of you who actually read this (and I know there aren’t many) can forgive my absence. The last month of wedding preparation was insane, to say the least, and I never had time to write a word that didn’t involve ceremony timelines, ( Read more... )

Friday I began my final year before turning 40. As usual, I tried not to make a big deal out of it, but you know how it goes. Everyone else wants to make a big deal out of it.

I played a rough softball game that night. We lost by 5 and I must have run around in the outfield as much as I would normally in the course of 3 games. I was dead tired ( Read more... )

What a week. I’ve been MIA lately thanks to several interesting events and occurrences.

First, I was down in San Diego the beginning of this week attending the IACP conference for work. IACP stands for “International Association of Chiefs of Police”. In other words, I was swimming in popo for 2 days. All in all it was extremely boring, but Monday ( Read more... )

We have a new president. We have our first African-American president.

It was a night of firsts really. But while everyone made the case that Obama is African-American and won for African-Americans, what keeps getting lost in the news is the real importance of this momentous election. We have our first mixed race president. A president who is not ( Read more... )

 As promised, a few photos from yesterday's Halloween activities:

Dr. House is in Da House:

Ah, Halloween. Something in the air sets this day off from any other for me. It’s a day of being someone else, watching everyone embrace the macabre, and all around good times! Riding the train as Dr. House has so far been uneventful. I’m not sure many people realize what I am, but then I don’t have my jacket on right now and I’m not walking with ( Read more... )

Yea for dark, moody, gothy Halloween music! It feels oh so good.

I have no idea of exactly what point my Wednesday night softball team started to turn it around, but the last three weeks we’ve managed to win our games. The key is that we’re defending much better. For instance, last night we had no errors and never once let a ball get past us in the ( Read more... )

I’m going to milk Halloween week for all it’s worth! I’ve been listening to my “Goth” play list this week and loving every minute of it. The one thing I am bummed about though is that I didn’t have time to carve a pumpkin this year. Maybe I can figure something out Thursday night…

Tomorrow I’ll refrain from shaving so that I have the proper “House ( Read more... )

Ah, Halloween week. Have I mentioned that it’s still by far my favorite holiday? If I had more time I would have put together a spooky or gory costume, but since I didn’t I am going as the scariest thing I could throw together in a short amount of time. Dr. House! Sweet. Picked up a bunch of Tic-Tacs last night to fill my pill bottle with...I'll ( Read more... )
