Today I went back to the office. Having the bulk of the week off was nice, but it felt get to get back into writing stories. I went down to the basement of the apartment complex to the laundry room to grab a couple of Coke’s to take to the office and I encountered the [...]

This morning I went to church; the church my family more-or-less played a large role in building from meager beginnings to the building you currently see in front of you. Many aunts, uncles, and cousins still go, plus many many friends that I grew up with there. They all mean a lot to me and [...]

Today was the day of our family Thanksgiving meal. This was an atypical meal consisting of a pot roast covered in red potatoes, celery, and baby carrots. Along with rolls it was a pretty good meal. Conversation focused on the best and worst Christmas days we could remember. It really got me to thinking that [...]

My first job ever was at the McDonald’s in St. Marys, WV. Would have been about 1998. I worked the front counter and the drive-thru. They tried to put me in the grill area, but no thanks; not my thing. I frankly think that every young person needs to work at least two years steady [...]

Well, I’m in St. Marys, WV, now. Arrived last night after Dad picked me up. Traffic and the rain made the trip a little hairy, but then again I’m just a nervous passenger. As I’ve been saying, I haven’t been home since May, when I returned for the St. Marys High School 10-year class reunion. [...]

Since I’m leaving for St. Marys, WV, for the rest of the week I’ve been trying to work in seeing as many people as possible. Two Twitter people I follow, Janet (@eightwednesday) and @delche, were in town to try Little India. Apparently my food review at Kanawha Valley Live and my blogging about it here [...]

Sorry if the redesign has confused those of you who haven’t been here in a couple of days. It was killing me that the last design didn’t allow for a blogroll and I’ve found a lot of cool blogs over the last few days that I wanted to follow. So I switched it up, which [...]

Mannheim Steamroller was a success. Picked up my ticket at the Clay Center, which tends to be a pretty decent place for a show. The West Virginia Symphony Orchestra performs there, so it should be good enough for a medium-size ensemble, which Mannheim Steamroller is. I was wrong in my last post about where I [...]
