Arrived in South Carolina after 10 hours of driving. My parents et al are still stuck in traffic, having left OH shortly after we did (stopped for dinner in Mt. Vernon, but still). I’m very glad we made it. Google Maps took us all up and around some back roads that said something to the […]
Married!
Too late to write much tonight. Suffice to say the wedding rehearsal went well, the lasagna and walnut pound cake was awesome, and after we bought a new cooler and 44 lbs of ice in which to put all the leftovers, it fell out of the car onto Mom’s toe. Yeah, the very same one […]
Today my family (parents + siblings remaining at home) was in a minor car accident. Fortunately, there were only minor injuries. Apparently, a 4-inch-ish piece of concrete struck the windshield of their van while they were traveling to Ohio for my brother’s wedding on Saturday. The glass cut my mom’s arms all up, and the […]

Some of my spiritual influences and education over the past two years: From Charlie Boyd I learned not to let anyone tell me I need to do anything special or extra to merit God’s favor or attention.

Twenty years ago at the Institute, it was recommended that we read How I Raised Myself From Failure To Success In Selling. Later (much later), I found my maternal grandfather’s copy in an old foot locker of his school books. Since I finished Managing Humans the other week, I thought I might finally get around […]
When I was a kid, I wanted to use a DayRunner just like my dad, mom, and the other adults I knew. I blocked off whole days like this in scribbly 10-year-old pencil: [SCHOOL] [lunch] [SCHOOL] [dinner] [um .. COMPUTER] Sometimes I would go so far as to try to vaguely plan tomorrow. “Mom, are […]
Tonight my friend Jon hosted a “Beer & God Night” in his basement. It’s appropriately furnished with old couches and a big console TV. Oh, and there was beer (and Coke for non-drinkers). Sometime during the evening, the conversation turned to movies. In my experiences with modern Christianity, there are two main schools of thought […]
