Green is the Way of the Walk. That’s what the back of the shirt I wear on this day every year reads. On the front is a golden shamrock sandwiched by the text “Irish Heritage Club” on the top and “1994” on the bottom. Jen and I just returned from celebrating the day when Americans […]

Is it possible to have a particular day every single year when, without necessarily planning it, something significant tends to happen? I had never really stopped to think about that until today, what could be my Magical Day. Perhaps my planets are in alignment on this day each year. Or something like that. Let’s review […]

Yesterday was an awesome day. It started with a sudden downfall of tons of snow just before 8 in the morning. As I’ve said before, I love snow. I finally understand why March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb. So this was good. I drove Jen to work, waited around a […]

In light of my layoff news this week, I’ve updated my resume and have added it once again to the primary site navigation. Jen and I still aren’t sure where we’ll end up or what we’d like to do, but I figure that in the meantime, it can’t hurt to get my resume out there […]
