Tours are my life, right now anyway. I am a building designer, working with architects and others to make my hospital's dreams become reality. As part of this, we've started touring people through the large addition that we've been working on for the past six years. It's been in design that long, although we didn't …

Selling Books Back – Sweet and Sad
Today, I mailed three books to their new owners. It's a sweet but sad thing. It's like saying goodbye to friends and enemies at the same time. You spend so many hours of your free time with them, that you feel like you know them, you know their other book family members, and you know …
8 Years Today
Well, it’s been eight years today. It seems like it was yesterday, honestly. Time has really flown by, and I have had so many thoughts about him over the years that the amount is uncountable. Eight years ago today, my hero and mentor passed away. I have been thinking about him since I got up …
Testing
Just testing this post from email action thing. Hoping it works, as it makes it much easier to post my thoughts!
Old Men and The Things They Say
10/31/10 Well, yesterday was a fun day. We went to the ballgame of our favorite college team. We had free tickets. Note that I said, "had", because somehow, in the parking lot, I lost one of said free tickets. Mind you, these were the $55 variety tickets, and they were pretty good seats. I sure …
Moxie Loo for Mayor
November 4, 2010 You may be wondering if my name is actually Moxie Loo. No, it's not. It's my dog's name. The same dog I gave a horrible haircut to today. (Hey, I'm not a groomer, but I tried. Next time, she'll just go to the groomer.) The same dog who has eaten / destroyed …
The Ramen Noodle Shrimp Experience
When our daughter was about 12, she decided to cook some of those ramen noodles in a cup. You know, the kind that you put hot water in, cover with a towel for a few minutes, and then eat and enjoy. She put the noodle concoction together while I was out of the room. A …
Cookie Sheets Aren’t Plastic
My daughter had a friend staying the night recently. They are both in the 8th grade, so they aren't that smart yet, apparently. After reading this, you'll understand why I say that. We had a nice dinner, and we were watching television in the den. The kitchen is the next room over, and we have …
Cloud Formations
Today, in the pool, as usual, I was looking up at the sky while I was doing the backstroke, and while I was relaxing floating on my back after the whole experience was over. I saw so many shapes that were recognizable. I saw a Moxie (my dog), a bunny, and a thing that slightly …
I Name Plants & Other Things
Okay. I have to admit it. I name just about everthing. Even my trees have names. I was an only child. I had a lot of free time to make up imaginary friends. We also lived in the middle of absolutely nowhere, so most of my imaginary friends needed to be a little more real …
