Today seems like as good of a day as any to begin again. It has been almost two months since I last posted and quite a bit has happened. Classes finished rapidly, ending with the best gpa I have had at CSL, and my wife and I were whisked away to the east coast to …

a fresh start?
As the calendar page is about to turn once again, a new chapter in my life is beginning. Over two months have passed since I last tried to get this blog a sense of regularity, and who knows, maybe one day it will find that. But rather than apologize and give weak excuses for my …
you’ll never walk alone…
Two more weeks have come and gone. The quarter is well underway and I have more homework to do than ever before, only, that doesn't necessarily mean I'll do it all. Well, after years of wondering and waiting if it would ever happen to me, I finally have a conversion story. I am proud to …

This weekend, among other things, I will turn the ripe old age of 26. More and more it seems that I have become extremely reflective on my life. I look back at where I came from and my childhood and high school years seem like a distant memory. So much has happened, so many things …
I’d still do it…
This past weekend the band indeed got back together. The band to which I am referring is the Muff Divers, a fictional band created by me and a few friends during college when we spent more time playing rock band than pursuing academics. It was a much needed respite from what has become my life …
thank you Sarah…
Tuesday of this week began like any other. I woke up early, as my wife and I have lost the ability to sleep in. I stepped out of the room for just a minute to find one thing or another and upon my return noticed a missed call and a text. Most days I tend …
