I awoke this morning to the semi darkness of the late sunrise of early autumn. Getting out of bed this time of year is exceedingly difficult, and as much as I hate the darkness when I get off work, I appreciate the sunlight in the morning. I intensely covet the ability to bounce of out bed [...]

The day to be jealous of people who don’t live in North America

For the most part, I believe America to be the greatest place in the world. We definitely have our own problems, and there definitely parts of America that hold no interest for me as place of permanent dwelling, but as a whole, America is pretty great. More specifically, the South East is pretty awesome. I love [...]

Alternatively, Happy Charleston Bike Week! Since I drive by a Harley Davidson Dealership on my way to work, I got to see a parade this morning. Hooray! Who doesn’t love a bunch of motorcycles blocking a busy intersection on Friday morning at 8:55 am? They were even selling italian ice. It is getting pretty warm [...]
El Camino

My new favorite song is Amos Lee and Willie Nelson, with the above stated title. It is soothing, inspiring, and brings to mind desolate, dusty roads with the sun on your shoulders (we are in a convertible of course) and wind in your hair. I”m wearing faded jeans and a white tank top, no watch, [...]

I’ve had to hide the gummi hearts in the corner of my office. I can’t put them in a drawer because they make the entire drawer smell like gummi hearts (which is a sickeningly sweet overpowering aroma), and I can’t keep them on my desk because then I’ll eat them, and I can’t eat them all because then [...]

On Tuesday, Jennifer and I went to Career Day at Angel Oak elementary school, to tell 4th-6th graders about being a lawyer. We made up a little skit trial about the dog eating a kid’s homework and had a fake robe and a gavel and some candy. I bought the candy at CVS on my way to [...]
Tweny-Leven

Last January, I struggled with the pronunciation of 2010. Twenty-Ten? Two-Thousand-Ten? Eventually, I was told that the correct pronunciation was Twenty Ten. Okay. This year, I’m again confused. Twenty Eleven? Two Thousand and Eleven? Most of the radio commercials here in Charleston have decided to go with Tweny-Leven, which I’m fairly certain is not the [...]

Everyone in the Southeast had a snow day today. Everyone but a large portion of the city of Charleston. Despite the fact that my stairs were coated with sleet, all of the bridges were closed by 10 am, and ice was heavy on the trees outside my office window, I did not get a snow [...]

(I should have written this a week ago in half as many words. I apologize.) The Saturday before Christmas, it poured down rain and really ruined my Christmas shopping plans. That night, I went out with some friends, enjoyed some choice libations, and ate some good food. I did not feel awesome on Sunday, which [...]

It is cold here in Charleston, South Carolina. Not that it really mattered to me today because I was inside the whole day, but it sure looked cold out of my window. As I was getting onto the interstate on my way home from work today, I saw blue flashing lights ahead and realized two [...]
