Sports Irony
Irony: Getting a ticket to watch your football team play against one of the best teams in the league. Sitting at the 50 yard line in 30 degree temps for four hours. Watching your team get ahead, then tie this team that they’re certain not to beat. Going to the bathroom during the media time-out … Continue reading
Busyness and Blogging Excuses
Things have been so busy – both in terms of scheduled activities and brain activities – that I haven’t even thought to sit down and write a coherent blog post lately. SO MUCH has happened in the past two (three?) weeks that I barely know where to begin, so I’ll just go for it. My … Continue reading
Mother Nature
On Monday it was nearly 80 degrees here. It seems PMS hits Mother Nature just as hard as it hits me, but the difference between her and me? My mood swings only affect Tony and The Critters. Hers…. do this. But don’t worry – it’ll be back in the mid-60s by Saturday.
After The Snow Came The Leaving Of The House
My mom flew home this morning, or – to be more accurate – she’s in an airplane somewhere over the middle of the continental United States as I type this. Last week was busy, and in a good way, but as you already know I’m a homebody and not a fan of being on the … Continue reading

>Marriage Retreat: Take Two
>Around this time last year Tony and I took advantage of a marriage retreat our then-unit’s chaplain was putting on. It was held right there on Okinawa, just about thirty minutes from our house, but for us it could have been anywhere: we hadn’t much left our home since arriving on island twenty-some months earlier. … Continue reading
>The Perfect Spring Day
>We woke up this morning to birds singing and the sun shining in a bright, cloudless blue Colorado sky. So we donned our shorts and short-sleeved shirts, took off our shoes, and headed outside to soak up the 72 degree weather before a cold front rushes back through tomorrow. These pictures were taken not of … Continue reading
