Pandephonium. 2008-02-21 13:47:05 Hey chilluns. I was hoping that with a week off of the blogging, someone might send me a Pancake Day iTunes playlist per the last contest. But sadly, no.

Home again, home again. 2008-03-27 13:34:39 Jiggity jig. Hey everybody. I’m back from Ethiopia, and man does it feel surreal to just jump in the car and drive on an interstate to work again.

No Sleep ‘Till Brooklyn 2008-04-01 13:40:36 So a few months ago I got a cat. Say what you will, I am not a cat person. I am an animal person who lives in an apartment that doesn’t allow dogs.

You Will Want To Read This!!!!! 2008-04-07 08:38:18 At iResQ we often look back at the TV shows of our day and will discuss them for hours. Keep in mind, that when I say our day, I’m talking 1990 to about 1996. We like to go through and name off all of the good Nickelodeon and T.G.I.F. shows that we watched as kids. [...]

The first bus I ever rode in Scotland was piloted by an aged and weathered local with impressive sideburns and a particularly red nose. He spent the extent of our [...]
