File Photo I’ve had a goal of sending a secret to PostSecret for quite some time now. Perhaps ever since Sara introduced Jen and I to PostSecret those many years ago. It has been difficult for me because I don’t really have any secrets. It is one of the drawbacks… Read More »(Very) Personal Photo Project of the Week #50
The rest of the I Recommend Pleasant pictures. I think if you look closely at these pictures, you can see the exact moment where Foster is no long amused.

The theme of SPIRITUAL didn’t ring the bell of many people this week.

I think that anybody that has spent an extensive time with me knows the location of my favorite bridge. Despite being the scene of a tragedy, my love of that bridge has actually increased recently as it has become a community art project of some kind. I don’t really like… Read More »Adumbrate
I spent a good portion of Sunday wandering Reiman Garens with Mom, Grandma, Teresa and Logan. Don’t believe me? Here is photographic evidence: I learned plenty about gnomes.

I don’t recall if I woke up in my own bed or on my own couch on Thursday morning, but I definitely slept good and solid after getting home close to midnight the previous night. I think that I was able to fall asleep rather quickly after the 3.5 hour… Read More »Vacation Day 6 – Campus
