Younger people might not be able to relate to this post… As I drove home from work this afternoon, it was all I could do to stay awake. (see previous post) All I was thinking about was going home and sleeping. I stopped by Costco to pick my wife up since her shift was over [...]

Tough week sleeping Yesterday, I had a very bad headache that was making me feel nauseous. I left work 1 1/2 hours early, went and crawled into bed. One and a half hours later, I woke up with the same headache. Since it was 6:00, I decided against taking Excedrin PM.

I came home from work tonight and saw a fairly large box sitting in the living room. I wonder what that is? I don’t remember ordering anything… I don’t remember anyone else talking to me about ordering anything… It turns out that it is my son’s linens for college. Now I know why my wife [...]

We visited our 9th church today. We liked the 8th one very much but it is an hour drive. Today’s church was planted by the 8th church so we went with high hopes… Since the church was near the Plaza (the country’s first outdoor mall), I decided that we should take in the scenery. Well, [...]
