Life is not only work.

  • Buyer beware

    Sarah and I have our townhome on the market and are looking to move soon to a bigger place.  We’ve had some good showings and interest.  But by far, these several phone messages we received recently take the cake.

    the Proairetic Code

    Sarah and I have become This American Life groupies lately. If you haven’t heard the radio show, it’s about time you do. It’s like a documentary of sorts: a group of disparate ideas centered around a central theme, but also it occasionally includes short stories and monologues.

  • Rock Chalk

    Guess what’s going on in Lawrence right now?

  • Rob takes the lead

    Ok, to recap, the TV score was tied. You remember the breakdown, right? Here it is

  • Let this be a lesson to me

    Last weekend, the Elements lulled me into a false sense of Spring.  I washed our cars.  Then on Sunday, guess what happened?

  • I am (an alternate) Legend

    I am (an alternate) Legend

    I found this interesting alternate ending to I Am Legend. Go watch it and then come back.

  • (disad)Vantage Point

    What happens when you try to mix 3 parts The Bourne Ultimatum with 1 part In the Line of Fire and 1 part “24” (pick any episode)? Bad things to be sure.
