As a quarter of a century old, I have passed my last significant birthday in terms of “benefits”. Now, I can rent a car without paying stupid extra fees. Hooray! I don’t know what it is about me and numbers, but I love my birth year. So many significant things happened in 1985, it makes…

Run, Don’t Walk…

It’s ironic, all the time I have to remind my students at work, “Walk, don’t run!” while I myself can’t stand walking. My good friend Tami inspired me to start running again after a 4-year absence.

It’s been a long few days, but everything is getting back to normal again. Rather than go into the gorey details, let’s just say Brian had to have a procedure done on Monday and we’ve been back to the doctor every day to get his dressing changed. I never knew how horrible it could be, seeing the…
