I know voting is important and all, but I just got the ballot for the Michigan bar’s elections and I don’t know anyone on there.  So I’ll vote, but it will be purely on name cleverness.  I hope the right candidates’ parents got it right many decades ago.  Sadly, I think this is how people [...]

May 30, 2012

I never thought it would be true.  I mean, I didn’t grow up rich or with a great many amenities that justify this.  I lived my first seven years in a trailer park, for crying out loud.  But it struck me this morning when someone mentioned that a co-worker got a degree from a for-profit [...]

I love it when I get in and turn Pandora on and something amazing starts flowing out of my speakers.  This morning it was “Respect” by Aretha.  There’s a dance party in my office.

August 1, 2011

It’s a trap! I’ve been fond of using Admiral Ackbar’s famous line lately.  I didn’t know why until today.

Sorry for the lack of posting yesterday and Friday.  Friday was the big embryo transfer and I was distracted.  Yesterday I was sleeping most of the day after we got home around 3 after the U2 concert.  I’m not equipped for late nights like that anymore.

What is the problem with napkin distribution in this country?  Sometimes you go to a drive thru and they hand you a whole package of napkins.  And those napkins are often soiled by the food because of the way they’re placed in the bag.  Other times (namely, this morning) you get zero napkins.  Why is [...]

Before I say anything else, I want to offer my undying gratitude for all of your comments, tweets, Facebook messages and so on.  Your support over these past few days has been nothing short of amazing.  While it didn’t make the hard decision any easier (nothing ever could), it made dealing with it a bit [...]
