I finally made good on a Christmas promise to Caitlin yesterday. She took herself down to Cheap TRX on Grand and got herself her very first tattoo! As many people have commented on Facebook and Twitter yesterday, it’s huge. It covers her entire left outer arm from the elbow to the shoulder. It’s a picture [...]

Today was an enjoyable and social evening for Caitlin and I. To begin the day, I roasted some coffee at work and I was grateful for the fantastic overcast/rainy St. Louis weather. It was 70 degrees in the roasting shed as opposed to over 90 and 100 like last week. Did that for a few [...]

Sunday night after working at Hartford I checked out a pretty sweet apartment on Connecticut just a block east of Grand that Caitlin and I decided we’re taking. The place is currently inhabited by an old Greenville classmate and Lisa told me that she was moving out this month. It’s really great. 1 & 1/2 [...]

Today was a productive day. Caitlin and I both had some cavities filled at a local dentist in Greenville. I had three, two on the bottom and one in between my top two front teeth while Caitlin had just one small cavity filled. My mouth was numb for like 4 hours after they did the [...]

Let me just say that it was so good for us to see you all: Katie, Kate, JB, Matt, Kristin, Ian, Mandy, Anna, Jon, the E-Bergers, Seth and Andrew. [...]

A few of my friends posted a very serious list of 25 things about themselves on Facebook last week. After seeing the thoughtfulness they put into their own, I decided to replicate: 1. While I have a few good ideas, I am very much without a clue as to what I’m going to do with [...]

Caitlin’s back in America.

Last night started out like any other night.  I went to bed after talking to Caitlin for a while.  I had a little bit of trouble falling asleep somehow, and around 2am I’m in the half-sleep, half-wake stage.  The reason I know that I was at this point at 2am is because I was startled [...]

Why, oh, why does it have to be so hard? Why, oh, why does it have to take so long to get to where I feel “home” And then I’m all alone Then I feel so powerless , turned around and running on empty And I don’t have your understanding Shouldn’t it be enough for [...]
