- Living, learning and searching for where I belong in life. This blog chronicles the ups and downs of my life. From home improvement, my never ending job search, parenthood, education to running a small business. I'm a student of all, but a master of none. If you have a question, I might have an answer for you, or know where you can find it. Magic is my middle name, Btown is my home, and knowledge is what I'm always seeking.

Just Like New…I Think
I worked my last day of the semester at Kelley today, and after I left, I immediately went to pick up my mower. It had been at John Deere since last Saturday being repaired. I was in for a shocker … Continue reading
She’s Being Hooded
Friday that is. That’s right, this Friday my wife Rachel is going through that ritual of rituals, graduation. This will be her third. I’m so proud of her, as she has practically devoted the last 4 years of her life … Continue reading

It’s A Jungle Out There (In My Yard)
Since taking my mower to the shop to have it repaired, I have not been able to mow the lawn. When I first mowed the lawn, I only mowed the front yard. On top of that, I fertilized it as … Continue reading

The Little Mower That Could (For A While Anyway)
When we bought our home there was a big argument regarding how we would care for the yard. At .47 acres, it’s not small, but not large. I wanted a riding mower, but Rachel wanted to push mow the lawn. … Continue reading

If The House is a Rockin’
The midwest felt something very strange Friday morning, there was an earthquake. I have heard so much about the quake of ’87 or the quake of ’02, but I didn’t feel or just don’t remember them. I’m only writing this … Continue reading

Feast or Famine
I have been steadily applying for new positions, even though I currently have 2 jobs. I would generally get an interview here, or a callback there, but nothing really panned out. For the past couple of nights, when we’ve gotten … Continue reading

Last Saturday my father and I travelled up to Muncie to see an old friend. I hadn’t seen him in 12 years. I’ve speratically chatted with him on myspace and yahoo messenger for about a year now, but didn’t have … Continue reading

Take a Listen, If You Can
There are many creative minds at work at the CSR. Many of us enjoy the video production/editing fields. There are 2 ladies with Ph.D.’s, a jewelry maker, and the list goes on from there. For most of us, the CSR … Continue reading
