I am a huge fan of conservation. I drive my car as infrequently as I can, I recycle everything possible, and I changed all my light bulbs over to the fluorescent ones. (If you haven’t done that yet, what are you waiting for?) I think it’s wonderful that more people are committing to living sustainable [...]

I was having a dream, too. But then my alarm clock went off.
It starts off unassumingly, when your friend mentions taking a long weekend. Then, you check your bank statement and wonder why the check you deposited last week still hasn’t cleared. Monday morning, the sleepy little YMCA pool is packed with the Master Swimmers group that show up whenever their pool is closed. There are no [...]

Tom Hanks was not born in Englewood
I can’t think of a better way to spend my birthday than with a group of friends at Trivia Night. We came in second place again this week, and again our downfall was the round where every minute you take to answer the question your potential point value goes down, and if you answer wrong [...]

That’s what you get for not hailing to the chimp!

The first question of the night was “What newspaper did Jill Carroll work for when she was abducted” and I practically jumped out of my seat knowing that I [...]

You won’t get no desert until you clean off your plate, so eat it

Damn the dark damn the light
This is a photo I took of the sunrise reflected off of my car yesterday morning. I think the sunrise is pretty and all, but I’m really yearning for the daylight to come back over twelve hours a day, like it did in the summer. Barring that, I would like to be able to hibernate, [...]
