Ever wonder what three games of Ultimate Frisbee looked like? No?  Yeah, probably not but I’m going to show you anyway.  I always wondered how much distance I put on during our games and it turned out a few other folks were interested as well.  So this afternoon I wore…

Last evening I headed out to dinner with my ASL class.  We were meeting up with the ASL class from our local community college (they were about on par with us knowledge-wise).  The dinner had one rule – no talking.  Sign language was the only thing permitted. Er … yikes.…

Since most of my posts lately have been about the remodeling project, I present to you two pictures that are *not* about the remodeling project. Edward Hopper’s NIGHTHAWKS is one of my favorite paintings. So much that I have two versions of it – one by Hopper, the other by…

Took the day off of work to get a jump start on the kitchen demolition. My original goal was to take out half the cabinets.  Turns out that went a lot faster than I expected and we ended up removing all the cabinets and about half the doors in the…

We received official word this morning that our kitchen remodel starts next Monday.  There’s a lot of work we have to get done between now and then – pack up all the dishes, move appliances and furniture, empty out the fridge, etc. The most important, however? I get to take…
