I now feel settled in enough that it would be alright to have people over. Pretty much everything is unpacked. Exclusions are pictures, that may never be unpacked, and some home office stuff, that is sitting in a box next to my desk. I’ve taken out about 15 boxes worth of trash and washed about…

USA Today published the craziest headline I’ve ever seen, Millionaire Who Said He ‘Tripped,’ Fell on Teen Cleared of Rape Charge. It only took 30 minutes for the jury to deliberate prior to the acquittal. This falls firmly in the stuff I can’t make up category.

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you have a wonderful day, weekend, and week. The weather has been warm and rainy around here so it hasn’t felt like a typical December or holiday season, but I put up my blue and white Christmas tree to make it look like one.

Alec Soth and Stacey Baker presented This is What Enduring Love Looks Like as a TED Talk.

This weekend was moving weekend for me. I moved from a friends house to an apartment that’s a little under 10 miles away, so it’s not a significant change of location. Even though it’s only been a couple nights I’ve already noticed the increase of boredom due to living by myself. I’m still in the…

Ash Beckham presented When to Take a Stand – And When to Let it Go as a TED Talk.

This is the beginning of a long week. Later tonight I fly home from Chile and go straight to the office for a couple meetings on Tuesday. Wednesday I have another doctor’s appointment then have to sign a lease. Thursday should be a normal day, then Friday is moving day. Moving isn’t fun, but it…

Last week Scott and I went the the Memphis Grizzlies and San Antonio Spurs game. The game wasn’t much of a game, but it was a good time.

Sometimes I see something that wasn’t well thought out. This one is from Wells Fargo. Do you check the box if it is or if it is not your mobile number? Are you sure?

The College Football Playoff teams have been announced and there was no surprise with the teams selected. Clemson remained first and will play number four Oklahoma in Miami. Alabama remained second and will face third ranked Michigan State in Dallas. The only hint of surprise was Michigan State jumping over Oklahoma, but based on the…
