  • i Pura Vida !

    Carolyn and I are back from spending a couple weeks in Costa Rica.  We had an amazing trip, and it’s nice to be back in the States!  I’ll share more about our vacation and post some pics in the days ahead. Continue reading

  • The Blog Vacuum

    One of the frustrations of being a blogger with a broken laptop is having an exciting summer and not being able to blog about it.  Since my computer went down and I’ve hardly been able to blog at all, Carolyn and I celebrated our fourth anniversary, went to the Baltimore Zoo, went to a Nationals… Continue reading

    This past week has been about as busy as possible!  But at least it’s all (or mostly) good stuff.  Last weekend Carolyn and I celebrated our fourth anniversary and spent the weekend with my family in the Baltimore-D.C. area.  On Sunday we wrapped up the “Play Ball!” series at CrossWay Church and went to a… Continue reading

  • Zoo Babies

    Carolyn and I made what has become our weekly zoo trip a few days ago.  Sometimes I tease her about how much she likes the zoo, but I have to admit that there’s always something different there.  On this visit we heard the wolves howling at some nearby sirens, saw a prairie dog jump on a… Continue reading

    Last weekend Carolyn and I went to a Shorebirds game.  It was the first time I’ve seen them lose this year.  It was a pitchers’ duel until the end of the game when the Shorebirds allowed runners to score from third on a passed ball–twice in a row.  But it was still fun. Between innings… Continue reading

  • Breakdown

    The computer problems are looking more and more bleak.  I still can’t get online on my computer.  For awhile I thought it was a Verizon problem, but now I’m thinking it might be a Gateway problem.  I can get online on Carolyn’s desktop computer at home, but the laptop can’t get online anywhere.  We’ve tried… Continue reading

  • Grrrrizon

    Verizon is messing me up.  I can’t get online on my computer, and probably won’t have it fixed until at least next week.  That means no blogging, no email, and no podcasting until then.  Grrrrr….. Continue reading
