As if I needed another reason.
I am getting ready to begin a paper for my class which starts in a couple weeks, and decide to do a quick search to see what comes up in past papers I have written.  Since all my docs are stored in one place, I can quickly and easily do [...]

As a good husband, I have taken to preparing dinner for my wife (and myself) from time to time, particularly when Julie is working late. Or pregnant. Both of which have been happening a lot lately. Whenever it is ready, I usually yell down to Julie, “Din din’s ready!” At this [...]

This was the second weekend in a row that Julie and I were “snowed in” and skipped church (Thanks to Matt for the harassing phone call… yes we are from Maine but that doesn’t make it safe to drive!). The snow wasn’t as bad this Sunday, but after the events of the weekend prior, it’s [...]

In more ways than one. Church reformation, as I am spending my day reading for the test I need to take this weekend in Christian History, and also the changes on the website as I building my first theme! It started off pretty rough, but it is slowly growing to look more Wikipedia-esque. [...]

It seems like this whole week has been marked by a feeling of pressure and anxiety and fatigue, and this morning it was replaced by a fresh joy. The anxiety came from the “Perfect Storm” of having a lot of things to get done here at work, and staying up to midnight or 1 only [...]

Oh yeah.
Now I can start a normal schedule, and perhaps start sleeping again. I have found that after two weeks, I can now stay up until 1am without too much of a problem. If I could keep up a habit of only sleeping 6 hours a night, I could be so much more [...]
