In honor of Labor Day, I found a...

After a tough re-entry to soccer this week (previous post), I came across this post by Kara Goucher. I thought this was a very well-written post regarding Adam and his injury/surgery/retirement decisions and struggles. Ideally, we all want...
If find it odd that in this economy, when people claim they are desperate for work, that this Evening Bell Captain position at the Peabody has been open since June 14.

After 6ish soccer games in 2 years, Dave signed me up for the fall co-ed season so we could spend more time together and spend our remaining soccer years together. Okay, so I could have said "yes" or "no",...

Bardog’s party raised TWENTY GRAND for St. Jude!!! That is incredible. And I cannot tell you how much respect I have for Brittany B. who raised $4500 of it solo by shaving her head.
$30K for next year? Very feasible....

I’ve been hearing quite a lot about the newly-released book “Mockingjay” which apparently is part of yet another young adult series that’s just as popular with adults as with tweens.
