I Resolve…

About 7ish years ago I came to the conclusion that I was extremely poor at keeping New Year’s Resolutions. So that year I came up with a plan for the Mother Of All Resolutions for 2001: I resolved to never make another resolution again. And up until now, I have kept that resolution. And its [...]

Thank You,

RPC. Emma and I have been attending RPC for well over 2 years now. Timm counseled us and married us. We got Baptized there. We forged great friendships. We became Members. We gave our time volunteering, singing, leading, working, and even acting there (as the Mayor, and Agent Cheeky Pink, if I remember correctly). We [...]

Date Night

You might have guessed by now that I’m particularly fond of this girl. So, once a week, we set time aside for a Date Night. Sure, we see each other every day, but we’re such busy folk that we don’t have a lot of “us” time. I know, and we don’t even have kids yet. [...]

Men at Work

All my life, I’ve had one unanswered question that I just can’t get away from. It’s haunted me for as long as I can remember, and I’m not sure if I’ll really ever have the answer. I was reminded of this vexing quandary whilst attending church, because we were doing a sermon series called Merge, [...]

Screw: You?

Today at work I was busy rebuilding a pump on one of the trucks. It was a simple task: remove the regulator from the control unit (4 bolts), remove the stopper (1 screw), replace with new stopper, replace on control unit. The entire pump works solely on this little stopper applying resistance to allow the [...]

Attention Blogosphere

I understand that due to my lack of blogging, my readership has greatly waned. I’m okay with this. However, I call upon the help of this little community. Allow me to back up. Several people have been nagging strongly urging me to start watching LOST, and up until recently, I fought the good fight. That [...]

Let’s Give ‘em Something to Blog About

A. of all, I’m not dead, or abducted, or without internet. B. Thank you to everyone who said they missed my posts. 3. I finally have something exciting to blog about, so here goes…. On Monday, Em and I signed/put our deposit down on a brand-new house. w00t and whatnot! We are building ‘er from [...]

Scott the Tyrant

Yes, I forwent (is that the past-tense of “forgo?”) sharing this yesterday, because I was muy excitedo about The Office (US) returning to TV. However: ba-da dunt dunt dunt, (another one bites the dust.) Yeppers, I had to fire another employee. I say “I” but really I made my boss do it, because the last [...]

Typical Tuesday Night

Just a glimpse of my weeknight: Whilst watching Biggest Loser (and eating directly out of a carton of chocolate ice cream perched in my lap), Mark came on. He was sitting in front of the TV eating ice cream from a carton perched in his lap. With the spoon still in my mouth I uttered, [...]

Drinking Gasoline

Besides being a halfway decent mid-80′s ambient CD release by Cabaret Voltaire (the band, not the club in Zürich), it pretty much sums up my day, because: A. Today was hard to swallow at times. B. I literally drank gasoline… kinda… a little… more on that later. Anywell, today started okay enough. Meeting w/ the [...]
