Mosquito Mountain

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

The State of Maine has a rugged coastline. The ocean, she is a fickle beast, one day she’s supplying your business with copious amounts of seafood wares, and the next day she’s sweeping your off your ship never to be heard from again. Along this dangerous headland are some pathetic excuses for beaches, [...]

Three Days of Work Until Vacation

Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006

That’s it! Come Friday I’ll be able to sleep in, not take a shower, not brush my teeth, and not get dressed for a whole week! This may make church service a little awkward, but, hey, that’s where the excitement is in life!
Where am I going? Nowhere! What am I doing? [...]

Happy Birthday, Krissy!

Saturday, May 20th, 2006

On this day, the most special of occasions, I’m revoking my “not my wife’s website” attitude and will be entertaining any questions you have for/about her. To get your creative curiosity flowing, I’ll throw out some sample Q&A:
Q: How old are you?
A: Jerk! You should know better than to ask a [...]

Birthday Festivities

Friday, May 19th, 2006

Tomorrow is my wife’s birthday. She’s also in the midst of a May term at college. This makes for a difficult celebration. In the morning I’ll cry “Happy Birthday! Let’s study Microbiology!” Somehow I don’t think she’ll be impressed.
We’ll go to her dad’s, where it will be raining, and decide [...]

What Can I Tell You?

Monday, May 15th, 2006

(Thank you Dennis Miller)
It seemed to be a long work week last week, though I had Monday off. My four day work week changed to a five day week when my Saturday morning coverage called in sick. I had to ditch a kayak/canoeing trip I had signed up for so I could [...]

It’s Impossible to Follow the Last Post

Thursday, May 11th, 2006

Patient: Doctor, you do realize that my digestive processes have created such an amount of gas in my intestinal tract so as to cause transient pain if it is not released?
Doctor: Did you just say you have to fart?

‘hog Pals

Monday, May 1st, 2006

For the last three mornings when I’ve gone to work, the groundhog has been at the entrance to his den. He’s just there waking up, stretching, yawing, and waving “hi” as I go by. He’s a pretty friendly guy. Don’t let anyone else tell you any differently.
All his friends call him Bo.
Someday [...]
