  • Disney Princesses On Ice

    Yeah, you read that right. Last night Carolyn and I went to see the Disney Princesses On Ice show in Salisbury. It was a Valentine’s Day gift because she’s all into that stuff. It was already kind of embarrassing, but it went real bad real fast. But I’ll get to that part. Carolyn and I… Continue reading

  • &$%!^?*

    GRRRRR Sometimes I hate WordPress.  I just wrote a very lengthy entry, and when I tried to post it, half of it disappeared. GRRRRR Continue reading

  • Valentines

    The past couple days Carolyn and I have been writing valentines for a bunch of kids.  She’s been working on valentines for her students, and I’ve been working on them for the children at the Training Station.

  • February in Brrrlin

    Five days ago I blogged about it being 73 degrees.  This morning when I came to the office it was 16 degrees.  The wind chill factor was one. February is back! Continue reading

  • Hollywood God: The Pursuit of Happyness

    “Hollywood God” kicked off at CrossWay yesterday with The Pursuit of Happyness. We watched several clips from the movie about how Chris Gardner (played by Will Smith) chased after what he thought would make him happy, letting absolutely nothing get in his way. The movie ends like so many others: happily ever after. We see… Continue reading
