Smart phones. Both a blessing and a curse, am I right? Maybe just a curse, depending on how you look at them. I simply mean there are a lot of conveniences that can be great for making out lives easier. And there are also a lot of things associated with those tiny pocket computers that … Continue reading I Know It’s Stupid… But…

Might Be Time For a New Prescription
I know... I just posted yesterday about how I'm turning 40 next month. And now I'm writing a post about my failing vision. I promise, I don't always feel this old. About a week ago, I was driving behind a Jeep that was adorned in several pieces of Virginia Tech memorabilia. One of the decals … Continue reading Might Be Time For a New Prescription
A Month Before 40
Kids, a month from today I will be 40 years old. Let that sink in... Forty. The big 4-0. There was a time when I'm sure I thought of 40 as old. That is no longer the case. In fact, I'm not sure I think of any age as old anymore. No, that's definitely a … Continue reading A Month Before 40
Waiting
I'm no doctor. Therefore, I clearly have no clue what goes into a physician's day to day in the life of a family clinic. I don't know what issues come up and I don't know what stresses a doctor has to deal with on a regular basis. Because of this, take what I'm about to … Continue reading Waiting
Kill Baby Hitler?
I know... that picture really has nothing to do with the title of this post. But I didn't want to use a picture of a random baby. I sure didn't want to use a picture of Adolf Hitler. So... yeah. It's the classic philosophical question... If you had access to some kind of time travel … Continue reading Kill Baby Hitler?
What Is a Test?
Due to this blog post's subject matter, I felt it necessary to put the title in the form of a question. I know what a test is. This isn't the kind of question that needs an answer. It's the kind of question that is the response to an answer. You know... like on Jeopardy! Around this … Continue reading What Is a Test?
Morning Announcements – A Prequel
A few days ago I shared a post about experiencing the morning announcements in a school where I recently worked. And it got me thinking about the morning announcements that we heard each morning in high school. During my freshman year at Patrick Henry, there was this guy who did the announcements every day. He … Continue reading Morning Announcements – A Prequel

Piano
I don't have many regrets. In fact, I'm one of those who often likes to say that living with regrets is a waste. Because it's not as if you can go back and change something that's already happened. But I've come to realize that I do have some regrets. One, for certain. I wish I'd … Continue reading Piano
Can You Teach Me to Read?
No, not literally... I know how to read. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to write if I couldn't read... right? But maybe I never actually learned how to read. Maybe I just memorized what a bunch of words look like. I do like to read. No... I think it's fair to say I … Continue reading Can You Teach Me to Read?
