There is a lot of seriousness going on. For the last several years I have watched the amazing career of Carla Ulbrich who said “It’s okay to laugh!”

Transitions Along the Lost Highway

I have been wandering the “lost highway” of sorts in recent weeks.

Life has been in a massive transition – chief of which has been my wife and I moved and staying with family before the next big step. My “rent payin'” job came to an end and I immediately began a new summer job.

These have taken up a great deal of my time and have prevented me from posting here and on The Sherlock Conversations.

I hope to be posting there again very soon.   

A Conversation for the Better: Alexandra Eshenbaugh

Alexandra Eshenbaugh is an old friend from way back in the day (ie. before we were 29). I remember sitting across from her in a room testing for the same school (we were both 10). I accidentally kicked her while singing the theme to the old “GI JOE” cartoon. By God’s good grace we ended up in the same school and even the same carpool!
