Born of Fire
I decided to check out my blog today, just to see what was up. In the corner was an icon I hadn't seen before (or it was so long ago, I didn't recognize it). It was a trophy... weird. I clicked on it, and was surprised with a "Happy Anniversary" message from WordPress... Kidstuph was …
Ok, I admit it. I have a bit of control freak in me. I like things in order, I'm a fan of symmetry, I appreciate defined lines. People always get on me because I will never wear wrinkled clothes, and I used to be so bad I had my closet organized by solids, then stripes and …
A few months ago, I had a great trip across the water to parts of Asia. Ever since I got back, I haven't been able to let it go... It's like I'm being called back there for some reason. While I was there, I did get some nice pics with my friend, the hawkman. Now, …

I took a big chance a week ago. Anniversaries are special times, and as such, putting all of your eggs in an unknown basket could turn out pretty bad. Lucky for me, it didn't. I heard about a Bed & Breakfast on Twitter from someone I was just getting to know, Gina Stark. I figured …
Tomorrow I mark another year. I don't know why, but I'm looking forward to this particular mark more than years past. How can you be excited about getting older? I know, weird isn't it? I shouldn't be surprised though. One of the things I appreciate about my mom is that she continually teaches me to appreciate …
Whenever I go to Reno for business, I always make a point of having breakfast at Peg's Glorified Ham n Eggs. The food is excellent, and if you are a bacon lover like me (sorry, J 🙂 ), it is paradise. What astounds me, however, is not the enormous amount of food that I can never …
