Don’t be Rude

Apr

2007

I learned this afternoon how incredibly important it is not to be rude. I know, I know, pretty common sense, but I had some first-hand experiences today that led me to believe that it’s not quite as common sense to some people. My friends were catering a wedding where my wife was the photographer. I ...

2007

A school in New Jersey recently staged a hostage situation to see how their school would handle the situation and work with local authorities. However, they made an interesting choice for the gunmen in the scenario. Apparently, the school wanted the drill to be as realistic as possible, so they chose Christian gunmen, including, “one ...

This past weekend we travelled to Sunbury, PA to visit some friends of ours. One of the highlights of the night was going to be everyone getting a chance to play the Wii – or so I thought. Whenever we leave on these Friday trips, their is usually a sense of urgency to get things ...

Slow Posting

2007

Posting has been a little slow lately. Let me try to explain why. 1.) I’ve been working a lot on a web design project for the Endless Mountain Music Festival.

I ran across an interesting story about a polar bear named Knut over the last couple of days. One animal rights activist’s suggestion of how the bear should be taken care of shocked me. Over at Reuters, they have more information regarding Knut, a baby polar bear whose mother abandoned him at the Berlin Zoo. ...

I read a quote attributed to James Cromwell. I looked up the original source, just to make sure it was true, but it doesn’t really surprise me that much. The quote goes thusly: I canâ€™t handle living in the United States of America when I know the last two elections were rigged, and that we ...

This past weekend, Danielle and I and are friends, Dave and Jenna, took a group of 8 kids to Carlisle for the annual Breakaway weekend. This year’s weekend was themed around the film, Over the Hedge. These weekends are always a blast, and this year was no exception. In spite of my worrying, we arrived ...

Apocalypse Around the Corner?

Feb

2007

I just saw a scene that made me think the Apocalypse might be coming sooner than we think. Was it footage from Iraq? No. Was it news of the pending nuclear crisis with Iran? No. Was it (insert crisis situation looming in the world today here)? No. It was Ellen DeGeneres leading a choir (on ...
