Library Studies

I’ve just finished looking at a book called The Library of Benjamin Franklin by Wolf and Hayes. I’ll admit this may sound a bit dry, and I was the first one to check it out from the OU Library. However, the book is a ridiculously well researched reconstruction of Ben Franklin’s extensive [...]

Allergies

I’ve done so much cleaning today. Lisa and I washed three loads of laundry, I cleaned my room, swept and swiffered my bathroom, washed dishes, and put away Christmas stuff. I spent at least 4 hours just cleaning today. Household maintenance is exhausting.
Lisa and I are both getting allergies and/or a cold [...]

A Thought on John

Here is a random thought I have about John:
While in some ways, it might seem as if John is very laid back and does not necessarily care about a lot of things, he actually puts quite a bit of effort into the things that he does care about.
This blog for instance. We are currently on [...]

Back Home

It’s so nice to be back at my apartment. I really enjoyed seeing Jeff, Joe, and Sarah and appreciated eating my mom’s cooking even more. However, there’s nothing like the freedom of laying in your own bed, with all the random shit all over your own floor (oddly, cleaning was the only thing [...]

PodCasts

I’ve been trying to find History of Science so as to further eradicate any notion of non-work related activity from my life. However, I’ve been fairly disappointed in this endeavor so far. Elizabeth Green Musselman hosts a fairly interesting monthly HSCI podcast:

I particularly like a new segment that she added in the fifth [...]

Pictures

Here are some pictures from the trip. I’m too lazy to go back to each post and put in the appropriate pictures.

This is me, looking at my shoes. They were pretty hot.

Christmas time in Dallas

Since getting back from the road trip I’ve gotten online twice, both times to check how my fantasy sports teams were doing. Kind of sad.
Lisa and I spent Christmas Eve with her parents; first we had lunch and went shopping with her mom (we got cookware, hurrahh!!! Seriously). Then we went to her [...]

Dallas

John and I are currently in Dallas for Christmas. We have been so busy lately, but it’s been really fun to not think about work for a week or two.
Christmas Eve we went over to my Mom’s house where we ate lunch and then exchanged presents. Mom really liked the presents that we got her [...]

Home

We are back home after driving from Indy for almost 12 hours straight. Needless to say, we dropped like rocks onto the bed and fell asleep for a good 10 hours. In a few minutes, we will be headed to my mom’s, my dad’s, then Dallas to see his parents and high school friends. But [...]

Indianapolis

Lisa and I are in Indy right now on our Winter Break road trip. Originally we were going to see three cities on our trip: St. Louis, Chicago, and Indianapolis. On Friday we drove up to St. Louis to see Wicked at the Fox Theater and had a wonderful time. The play [...]
