Too tired to offer much in the way of an actual update, or fascinating opinions.  I’m alive. Work is hard, but satisfying. Family is ok. More, perhaps, later.

The Knoxville Metro Pulse is the local free paper in town, publishing every Thursday their fabulous brand of liberal propaganda (heh).   What they include in the pages is a comprehensive listing of Knoxville’s restaurants. And so, my fabulous friends Mikey and Brit and I have decided that we’re going to go on a months-long tasting [...]

So I had a recurring dream this morning.  The first time I had it, though, the outcome was much different, and much scarier (in dream).
It starts off with me dating this guy… he’s an older guy, I think in this dream, he actually says (in a moment of drunken stupor/laughter) that he’s 56.  The last [...]

Since the internet intermission currently going on at our house, I have neglected my blogging duties nearly completely. I say nearly, because I still try to keep up with other folkses writings, but obviously have not offered anything up myself of any worth in quite a while.

Something’s coming, and I’m thinking it’s a good thing. I feel quiet and electric and super-aware.  Tingly.
Unpacking is going along as expected. One box after another spilling it’s guts out, and me attempting to make sure that things are put in places where they look like they ought to belong. I don’t want to be [...]

Ding-dong. That was the sound of our doorbell. Shannon answers the door and there is a man from Century 21 standing there and explains to us both that the bank now owns the property we’re currently renting, and that we should not pay rent to anyone who comes around asking for a check.
We will be [...]

I’ve just finished watching Anthony Hopkins on Inside the Actor’s Studio, and I don’t want to forget a few things that he’d said.. this is as good a place as any to share, hmm?
“Today is the tomorrow that I was worried about yesterday.” 
I’m certainly a worrier, even though I tell myself constantly that worrying only [...]
