Today I went to Michael’s to check out their drawing supplies. I was pleased to find the store remained conveniently located at 100 Oaks, despite Vanderbilt’s recent purchase and renovation of the property.
I spent a good hour at the store – they have a great selection of drawing supplies. It […]

Although this headline sounds a bit Onion-esque (isn’t that right, Wheat?), it is quite serious.
My dear cousin Brett Frasier, I am quite relieved to say, has postponed his planned move across the globe to Georgia to await the evaporation of the political tensions going on between Georgia and Russia.

The best news I’ve heard in a long time came today: my sister Julie’s family is finally moving back east after having lived in Portland, Oregon for several years! It seems Jeff has landed his FBI promotion and will be moving to Washington, D.C. soon. Wonderful! The details have yet to be worked […]
My parents treated me to lupper at 3:00 this afternoon to celebrate my year of adherence to a particular mode of healthy living. Initially, we were going to have an early dinner (at Outback Steakhouse on West End Avenue, next to Dad’s CPA office) around 5pm; however, Dad later realized that […]
Another great day. Hello Deb! Hello Brett! Ben and Kim, you out there? Sis? What are you guys up to this weekend?
I marveled at the sunset this evening. I was on my way home from a full day of Nashville landscape maintenance around 4:45pm CST, and when I saw how beautiful […]

Good times were had by all on this year’s xmas xcursion to my sister’s house in Portland, Oregon — even me! Since the last two yuletide trips were merely tolerated (for reasons beyond the scope of this blog, but not that blog), the positive change is fantastic and I’m really grateful for it.
NOTE: A series […]
Woke up at 5am and went back to sleep. At 8am I woke up again with Andrew and Sarah sitting on my bed, giggling.
I ate a coffee & raisin bagel for breakfast, which Julie buttered for me. I restored Sarah’s iPod and ripped two Rascal Flatts CDs, and then I made a list of xmas […]

We got up around 3:45 a.m. to get our things together and drive to the Nashville airport. I used the time to pack; I had already given it some thought and made a list of the essentials, so my last-minute assemblage was not as harried and panicked as you might think.
We arrived so […]
