Hey kids! It’s that time again. A little evaluation of past goals and a little dreaming goal setting for the next run around the sun.
I have to say that 2008 brought some surprises for me. And while there were some pretty damn good things that happened this year, (like travel to Italy and boys that both [...]
I found this through Crooks and Liars.
Please click through to Whiskey Fire and read what this person has to say. The most chilling observation for me was this:
Our local social services department actually hired fraud investigators at the same time that it was laying off child protective workers demonstrating conclusively where our values lie and [...]
Someone sent this around my circle of church geek friends just before Christmas. We all thought it was hilarious.

Holiday closeouts, exchanges, doorbuster sales (aren’t these going to be outlawed after the tragedy last November?) are the order of the day. Some people I [...]
This morning, I got up and made the boys our traditional Christmas morning breakfast; cinnamon rolls, bacon and eggs, and this year fresh squeezed OJ. Then the three of us opened presents - pretty low key stuff. Then I went to church and was assisting minister. By the time I was on my way home, [...]

I’m writing this post on Sunday evening after a frustrating day of tech support at Chez Journey. I finally got my Mac back up and running in time to actually hope to get a certain job application turned in on time. Turns out I have to fill out a set of forms to go along [...]
