There's something I miss about home. No matter where I've been since I've been out of the nest, it's never really felt like home. I've lived with a few people over the course of those years and despite best efforts, I just can't seem to settle in.

So it happened that a couple of weeks ago, I was visiting my mom when I got this...

The B is usually for bourbon, but on this day, it's for that fine beverage we all know and love as beer.

I like some lagers and lighter color beers, but give me a nice porter or a stout and I'm a happy man.

So, yesterday I opened up the book I've been writing for just over two years.

I took a few deep breaths, muttered a few choice expletives and looked for an unedited copy of the text.

Back from a lengthy step back from the site. Hopefully I'll stick around for a while again.

Wondering who is still left from the friendly faces I remember. Drop me a line when you get a chance.

I have been congested and my allergies and sinuses are acting up aaaand as if the day couldn't start off any worse...

I was going through some work stuff on my computer when I noticed a co-worker needing some assistance (despite her not asking for any.) She appeared to need a font for a graphic she was completing and after a short search, I found...

Woke up this morning. Sleepy dust still in my eyes, but I wiped it clear and got up to make the g/f some breakfast before she headed off to work. A little role reversal for today, but I have all day to sleep if I want it. I have today off from work as well as tomorrow.

Alas, it's my birthday today; and without prompting...

Same job, but looking for a new one.

Short hair, but still the same goofy guy.

On the hunt for a new job and the outlook is fairly good considering that my attitude remains positive.

I miss being closer (geographically speaking) to my family. I moved away from my hometown about three years ago and it feels like I'm light years away from them despite...
