Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to our holiday special. It’s been a good year, for the most part. It’s hard when you work in an educational environment not to think of this as the middle of the year – but 2007 has been pretty good to me. I thought I’d go ahead and recap some of…
21 Questions about Mormonism Asked by FOX, Answers Clarified
On December 18th, FOX news asked 21 questions about Mormonism which were replied to but not fully answered. A friend of mine’s brother posted a link on Facebook to this blog which attempts to clear up the answers. Whether or not these answers are clearly rooted in whatever is considered the actual doctrine of the…
Use a lot of Printer Ink? Don’t Spend a Lot!
It’s a well-proven fact that printer companies don’t make their money selling printers. They make their money on the ink you’ll buy afterwards. Countless tech publications have posted stories about how manufacturers make cartridges with special technologies to ensure that you’ll buy plenty of ink. How can you beat this system? Well, short of throwing…
Movin’ On Up (In Silvermoon City)
That’s right folks, my level 9 blood elf warlock is now a level 12! Woo hoo! In case you’re just tuning in, I’ve been delving into World of Warcraft to see what all the fuss is about. I like it a lot so far. I really hate when several creatures attack at once and overtake…
Things From TV: Extreme Makeover Window Coverings
Now, I haven’t really watched too many of these home makeover shows – I think the last one I really watched much at all was “Trading Spaces” on TLC where the couples redecorated or renovated their neighbor’s or friend’s houses. However, these types of shows are always a blast. Just yesterday I kept thinking that…
Things From TV: Dr. House’s Cane
For Halloween, I dressed up as Dr. Gregory House from the TV show “House” on Fox. My outfit would not have been nearly as cool or convincing (not that I look like him) if it hadn’t been for my black cane with flames at the bottom. He didn’t get this cane until season 3, when…
New York’s Beautiful Houses
For some reason (maybe it’s because I live in the South), I never really equate New York with beautiful landscape and nice housing with big yards in my mind. Maybe it’s because most gritty crime dramas on television based in New York are in the city. Anyway, if you’re doing pretty well in business, you…
New Year’s Resolutions
I gave up trying to give New Year’s resolutions a few years ago, because I got tired of promises I couldn’t or wouldn’t keep. They were all for my own good, but I couldn’t bring myself to form better habits. It’s one of my biggest vices, not being able to change my habits easily. To…

Update: Mom’s Doing OK After Gastric Bypass
I mentioned a week or so ago that my mom had gastric bypass surgery, sometimes called “lap band” surgery, where they put a band around your stomach to make it smaller, then close off the rest of your stomach and remove some of your intestine and reattach another portion to the smaller stomach. It means…
