Easter Was Good, Real Durn Good

Here is a lovely photo I snapped yesterday of my mother and I before church. If only we weren’t wearing glasses, there wouldn’t have been such a light radiating from our eyes. Speaking of light radiating from people’s eyes, it’s incredible to imagine that just 2,000 years ago there was this dude that got nailed [...]

Well the weekend is upon us, which means I work 11-8 on a gorgeous Saturday. Gorgeous yet cold — I think the high is forecast somewhere in the 50s. It is definitely good to see the weather make a nice rebound after two straight days of rain in which we got 6-9 inches over the [...]

So by now you Springfield blogger types have undoubtedly heard the audio, read the News-Leader’s editorial, and read all the blogs about local radio show host Vincent David Jericho’s appearance at the town hall meeting on illegal immigration a couple of weeks ago. I’ve listened to it all, seen it all and I for one [...]

Okay, so I don’t share an opinion with Desdinova on this one. I love March Madness and everything it brings with it. Give me wall-to-wall coverage on CBS all day today and tomorrow. I can’t get enough of it. I’ll eat it all up. This only happens two days out of the year so you [...]

Even if I only say that because I’m 23 years old as well (by a few months), 23 is still a good age and now I have another friend to accompany me in this rather nondescript year in my life. A friend of mine from my time in Virginia, Melissa Atchley, has turned 23 today [...]

And Adam Gillette Chooses…

19 March 2008

This is akin to National Signing Day in football. There are three hats sitting on a table for a young man to choose from, to continue his journey from the high school hallways to the hallowed quads of America’s public university system. It is all quiet on the western front now, as Adam Gillette (remember [...]

EWU Women’s Basketball Game Gets Rickrolled

18 March 2008

1 Comment

This might be my last Rick Astley post, then again it might not considering this one trumps everything else I’ve ever posted about Rickrolling. At an Eastern Washington University women’s basketball game sometime in the recent past, the PA folks, an Astley impersonator, and even the cheerleaders get involved in a massive Rickroll of the [...]

Rain keeps on coming down today and has made not only made a mess out of the Brewer Compound’s front yard, but has sent a cascade of water down the shoulders of our street and, on a larger scale, has shut down some roads all over the area, like this one…Farm Road 99 just a [...]

The 54321: God Said No To Disc Golf This Week

18 March 2008

Doesn’t look like my next couple of days off will be anything close to what last week offered in terms of the weather. In fact it’s been raining just about nonstop for about four hours, and our yard is slowly turning into a lake. Still, this rain doesn’t hold a candle to Oregon or Washington, [...]
