Thirty short days ago, I mentioned NaBloMoPo, or - for those not in the know - a dealie to post every day for the month of November. Throughout the month, a lot of people whined and bitched and complained (to which I said “WHY did you bother signing up?”) but I never spoke of it [...]
I love going home - seeing my family, my old stomping grounds, my favorite pizza place. I love seeing how much things have changed and saying “Wow! I can’t believe they closed that place,” or “Look, they finally added a stoplight here!” Little changes get me excited, and the things that haven’t changed give me [...]
(What is the plural of “Christmas” anyway? Is it Christmases? Or -masses? Or Chirstmi?)
Each year, we swap out Christmas visits so that we’re able to spend it one year with my side of the family and one year with his. Since this year is a “his” year, we’ll be sticking around Denver over the holidays [...]

Today, we ate lunch at a brewpub overlooking the minor league ballpark, which, [...]
You can’t be in Oklahoma City without thinking about the tragedy this city faced over 11 years ago. This Thanksgiving, I’m going to be even more thankful for the chairs around the table and each of the people in them.
(Or at least Kansas is.)
Here we are 659.5 miles and 11 screaming relatives later. We’re rewarded for our long journey in the car with a night on an air mattress that has no plug, so we MacGyvered it together with a Children’s Tylenol lid and lots of duck tape. I’ll let you know in [...]
Hi Honey,
Just wanted to know, I got supplemental life insurance on you today. It doesn’t go into effect until January 1, so please don’t go dying until then.
