Well it's over. We moved. And it was a stressful week. If you're a reader here (by which you almost certainly know me personally) you may...

I frequently have to laugh in looking back at some of the older About Me posts. Right now I'm thinking about The Inquisitive Toddler and...

I intended to write this before the film came out. Alas, whatever, it wasn't meant to be. I've been a fan of Dune since first reading the...

There's bound to be culture shock moving from one part of the country to another. Going from Minnesota, home of 'Minnesota Nice' and an...

During our last full calendar month in Maryland, we've worked in multiple short and drivable trips to re-see places one more time. About...

While I don't do many of these it's fun to occasionally highlight beer-makers out there doing great work. After examining two regional...

Maybe you don't know the name off-hand, but (to me at least) Peter Cullen has an immediately recognizable voice. And it's largely because...

Before becoming a parent I did some of the mental preparation that often comes with before that big life change. This is a very general...

If you're a fan of The Lord of the Rings and haven't seen the extended versions of the films, you should give them a watch. Though they...
