The other day as I was taking my trash out, I felt the wind blowing. A common occurrence. One that people probably experience nearly every day. I looked up and saw the trees swaying as the wind blew. I couldn't help but laugh. My whole life, Dad's explanation for where wind came from was sort … Continue reading A Tree In the Wind

The Problem With Time Travel
Okay. This is one of those posts where I let me geek show. Specifically, this is a post about The Flash TV series. Not the one from the 90s, but the current one. Don't get me wrong, I loved the one from the 90s when I was a kid. But, being a bigger geek now … Continue reading The Problem With Time Travel
The Quarterly Plan of Action
In the world of banking, the people on the front lines of the industry are known as tellers. These are the people who are expected to help customers with all of their day to day banking needs. It is often a thankless and miserable position to hold. These are their stories. These are their legends… … Continue reading The Quarterly Plan of Action
Just a Quick Poll Here…
Okay, I'm posting this because I genuinely want some opinions from the good people of the internet. I've been under some fairly heavy stress of late. And I know I've sort of been beating that dead horse repeatedly on this blog, but I'm sure it'll go away eventually, right? Well, it won't just go away. … Continue reading Just a Quick Poll Here…
My Very First Award!
Here's the thing... I was just nominated for a blogging award! Well, not just... I mean, it happened earlier today. Now is just the first chance I've had to do something about it. I've been blogging (elsewhere) for a decade and have never been nominated for any kind of blogging award. Now I get this … Continue reading My Very First Award!
Impressing the Professor
They say you only get one shot at making a first impression. I wonder what the odds are of actually making that impression a good one. It seems that you could easily make a negative first impression without even trying. If that's the easier way to go, wouldn't that be the more likely outcome of … Continue reading Impressing the Professor
Graduation Day
I live in a college town. Actually, this town is home to a pretty large university. (Largest in the state? I'll get my fact-checkers on that right away.) This weekend was graduation for that institution. Therefore, driving through town was something of a nightmare, if one's nightmare consists of being stuck in traffic for approximately … Continue reading Graduation Day
Question of the Week #13
What would constitute a "perfect" evening for you? This all hinges on how I'm feeling on the evening in question. Not to sound anti-social or anything, but, more often than not, my perfect evening will involve me kind of being by myself. No talking. No noise. No paperwork. That's not the case all the time. … Continue reading Question of the Week #13
That Awkward Moment…
When you start crying and you really aren't sure why. Luckily, I was alone in my tiny closet that functions as my office and could close the door so no one saw what was happening. Not that I have a real problem crying in front of others. It's just, what do you say when someone … Continue reading That Awkward Moment…
And They Called It Puppy Love
I make a living by observing small children and seeing the way they interact every day. Sadly, most of the interactions I observe are of the negative variety. I deal with yelling, screaming, pinching, hitting, kicking, hair-pulling, and biting. That's on a good day. So watching a couple of kids who are interacting positively is … Continue reading And They Called It Puppy Love
