I haven't really known what to write here. I have a lot of thoughts, but I'm not really sure how to string them all together so that they make sense. And I have these mixed emotions that consist of grief, joy, and irreverent humor. So much irreverent humor. Anyway, there's a good chance that a … Continue reading Remembering Mamaw
It’s Only a Game
I mentioned a couple days ago just how awesome last week was. In all that time, I only left the house a handful of times. And it wasn't necessarily because I was completely snowed in. Some days, it was fairly easy to get my car out of the snow pile in which it was parked. … Continue reading It’s Only a Game
6 Reasons Why I Should Host the Academy Awards
Well, last night was the Oscars. I'm not sure I have a lot to say about the telecast, other than I was less than impressed. Now, I think should explain that I've generally considered myself of Neil Patrick Harris in the past.

An Unexpected Break
Guys, last week was AWESOME! I know that I've complained about the kind of winter we've been experiencing here in southwest Virginia.

I Think We Just Figured Out Why I’m Still Single
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Just in case you weren't aware of that fact. It's not a day that I generally look forward to. But when you work in an elementary school full of children who expect a lot of fanfare related to days like these, you have to fake it a little bit. No, I … Continue reading I Think We Just Figured Out Why I’m Still Single
If I Had $500 Million
I'm one of those people who pays little to no attention to the lottery scene. For me, it's not so much a moral thing having to do with gambling. I see it from a more practical point of view, in that it's a waste of money. But every now and then, the multi-state lottery jackpots … Continue reading If I Had $500 Million
