Apparently I am all about Christmas trees right now, because not only did I decorate my tree at home and buy an awesome set of new ornaments, but tonight I got to help decorate the tree at my sister’s place! Like mine, my sister’s family’s tree is full of ornaments collected over the years – […]
Half marathon #9 complete! Here’s Alicia and I after the race: If we look a little out of it, it’s only because we are. Thanks to the aforementioned not training enough, both of us wanted to puke. But we did it and our time was better than the last two halfs that I did, so […]
As detailed in a previous posting, Nov 16 marks the anniversary of the day I received my PhD, according to my transcript.

It’s my sister’s birthday today and I want to wish her the happiest of days and many, many more! For those of you who don’t know my sister, she is a remarkable woman. A harder working person you will not find ((And coming from me, that’s saying something, if I do say so myself. Which […]
