In September of 2010, I spent a weekend at Smith Mountain Lake, here in Virginia. It was a weekend spent playing games, sitting on the dock, and going out on the boat while catching up with some of the best friends I've ever known. After those few days, my abs were in pretty good shape … Continue reading Grounded
Hitching a Ride with Dad
I believe I've mentioned before that I have some strange dreams on occasion. I can go weeks, even months, without remembering any of the dreams that hit me during the night. But then I can have several consecutive nights when I'll remember those dreams in vivid detail. Last night was one of those nights. I … Continue reading Hitching a Ride with Dad
Hair Products
I'd been putting off getting a haircut for a while. Mostly because getting a haircut requires money, which is something of short supply most days. Anyway, the haircut was long overdue. So I got to the place and was introduced to Kim, the woman who would be cutting my hair that day. And Kim got … Continue reading Hair Products
Life Story: Chapter Fifty

The Perils of Pizza Delivery
You know, I never complained much about my time as a pizza delivery guy. Even though I held down that part time job, delivering pizzas on the side, for about two years, it never felt like I did it for that long. Odds are, it's because I only worked two or three nights a week. … Continue reading The Perils of Pizza Delivery
Letters
I've mentioned on occasion that I consider myself to be something of a comic book geek. It's not a label I pin to my chest for all the world to see on a daily basis. Though, if it was a fact that I was trying to hide, I certainly wouldn't publish it on a blog … Continue reading Letters
Come Hell or High Water
I was only five years old when the infamous Flood of '85 washed away a chunk of southwest Virginia. I really don't remember much about it, and most of what I do know has been pieced together from old news footage and exaggerated memories. I was in kindergarten at East Salem Elementary School. When the … Continue reading Come Hell or High Water
Another 50 Question Thing
This list of questions came from the Facebook a long time ago. They're different than the questions I stole from another blogger a few months ago. But I still love this kind of thing. Because, for me, it's an easy blog post. And sometimes, I think, my answers are pretty enlightening and/or hilarious. What time … Continue reading Another 50 Question Thing
Faith
Originally written in August of 2010... Caleb's hand trembled as he put the bottle to his lips. He was shaking so much that a part of him was scared he would drop the bottle. Another part of him didn't care. That part would be just as content with watching the glass shatter as with drinking … Continue reading Faith
