Let’s see…. Derek and I started off our weekend with a tasty trip to the newly opened Texas Roadhouse. I had a great meal (prime rib, caesar salad, and sweet potato… not much variation, here). Above picture details the devouring… Derek’s Filet was a little undercooked — and that’s hard to do for him. There […]

Zzzzzzzz Zzzzz zzz
I’m tired. Teaching in a regular classroom is exhausting. It seems like the next ten months of my life looks something like this: 1. Awaken. 2. Desperately long for another hour of sleep. 3. Shower, eat and go, all in a half-asleep stupor. 4. Make the 20 minute trek to work, coming to grips with […]
News Briefings
Where to begin?? I’ve added some stuff to the site, recently. The tales of the summer and Jake: July 4th in Batavia and the Ensuing Visit From Jake… School “starts” next week. I just received notice that I am to report to the New Teacher Orientation next week (one week early). So, my vacation has […]
To The 5 Boroughs
The new Beastie Boys album is out. Their 6th. Derek got it for me yesterday. I’m pretty excited about it. I’m really unable to expand on this topic further, as it seems my creative writing skills have yet to be awakened this morning. Perhaps more details after a few listening hours… ?
Hanging Rock
On Saturday (yeah, I know, it’s Wednesday now….I’m BUSY!)… On Saturday, we (me, Derek and Billy N.) went to Hanging Rock State Park, all the way up in Stokes County. We got lost on our hike (again) and wound up 4.5 miles out of our way.So, due to time constraints, we went back to our […]
Pilot Mountain
Derek and I hiked up Pilot Mountain on Saturday. He had just returned from NYC and I from Raleigh, so we were pretty tired. We also haven’t had many carbs in about a week, so we started off slow. We missed the start of the trail (I do not know how!), and wound up hiking […]
It’s Raining, It’s Pouring…
So, we went to the beach this weekend and it rained pretty much the whole time. It wasn’t very warm. Well, it cleared up a little and warmed up a little — Just as we were leaving. It was a pretty good time. I got to relax. Eat out. Play board (bored?) games. And I […]
’85 Dolphins
Derek and I played Madden Football last night. A complete waste of a potentially productive evening. He won one game, I won one game. I was the ’85 Dolphins. With Dan Marino, Mark Duper and Mark Clayton.
Raleigh Adventure
Got back from Raleigh (and/or Durham) yesterday around 3:00. We saw Miracle with Sarah and Jack and then went to the Waffle House on Friday. Saturday, we shopped at Target for some wedding clothes and a gift and then ate at Buffalo’s. Then, Derek and I went to the wedding.We saw: Darren Russo, Dennis Russell, […]
Greensboro Baja Fresh
Derek brought me Baja Fresh from Greensboro yesterday, to help ease the pain. He’s a great husband.
