Whooo — Whaaaaat!!

So I just got back from my trip to San Francisco and Yosemite National Park. It was amazing that we were able to coordinate friends from across the country and even outside the country (London) to congregate for six days of fun. Here’s a recap:

I Look Out…

Little Devil Stairs

Went down to the Shenandoah Valley bright and early this morning to hike the Little Devil Stairs trail. The first two miles of this hike gives the trail its name — straight up rocks as you go up 1500 ft in elevation. I’ll admit, I was quite winded by the time I hit switchbacks. 7 [...]

Why Do We Fall?

So we can learn to pick ourselves up…

Bizarre…

These last couple of days, I’ve been waking up each morning with new scratches on my face. And I’m talking like 1-3 inches in length. What gives??

Mid-Day Dining

Lunch. I used to pack it. But now I can’t go without eating out. I need that break in the day. As for daily dining choices, it’s all about diversity.
For example, here’s how this week’s lunch schedule has looked:

Had the Lobster Cocktail and Sliced, Openfaced Steak Sandwich with Fries. Pretty good. [...]

Pomposity…

This is the type of guy that I sometimes I have to deal with at work.
Bigwig Partner: You smoke?
Me: No, I don’t.
Bigwig Partner: Well you should, so you could give me a cigarette.
Me: Sorry I can’t oblige.
Bigwig Partner (as he walks away from my desk, joining another group of people): All I want is a [...]

What Did I Do?

That’s the question I asked over and over in my head as I laid awake all last night…

Falling Slowly…

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can’t go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I’m painted black

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You’ve made it now

One Month Later…

I still miss…
I still hurt…
But I just continue to try and heal…
Because that is the best I can do…
