  • The Climate of Creativity

    November 17, 2009

    • Tuesday, November 17, 2009I grew up in Ohio, where the weather is as unpredictable as the number of cows you might see driving to work each day. One thing is guranteed, however: each winter it will snow. Down parkas will be worn and driving conditions will be challenging.Having lived in Texas for a while now, I have shed my winter skin, so to speak. My blood has thinned to the point that I find ...

  • A Meditation On Marriage Part II

    November 13, 2009

  • Halloween Computercation

    October 29, 2009

For instance, I was once scared of computers. I felt inept on many computer programs and so I avoided them at all costs.And after five (maybe seven) years of regular computer use, it's no surprise that I'm growing--if ...

Comments I've Written

  • Interesting Post

    It seems that online marketing is easy, cheap and efficient. However, I doubt it will be so easy to really get attention this way for long.

  • Beautiful Post

    I enjoyed this post because I feel a similar sort of comfort in bookstores and libraries (unless I'm working there, but that's another story...) I especially love finding underlines or notes in the m

  • Fascinating

    This was a truly interesting read. Here, in San Antonio, Halloween is celebrated like Christmas, lights on homes and parades downtown.
