Remember how I said Sunday was the day to restore faith? This makes it difficult. Tiller shot to death while walking into church. I don’t care what your feelings on abortion are. This is not justice.
Childish
This evening, after dinner and indulging our desire to shop, Eron and I took Stella for a walk around the lake. I ran through a sprinkler for the fun of it, and I am tempted to do it again.
It’s amazing how easily we abandon our childish ways. In some ways, that’s a great thing. In other ways, it’s horrible. As children we had this blind faith in the world, in humanity, in the...
5th time's a charm?
Downtown Scam Artist: Excuse me ma'am. Can I ask you a question? (Pause) How are you doing today?
Me: Fine. (walking quickly to my car)
Downtown Scam Artist: I need to ask you for a humanitarian favor. I just got out of jail...
Me: That was a great story when you first told it to me last July. Go find a new person to ask or a new story.
Downtown Scam Artist: Thank you ma'am. (Walks off and strikes up conversation with another woman outside the tag office.)

And that is why she will not be going out in public until she learns to behave. I just can’t muster up the courage to bark at my dog in public.
In other news, I find it slightly strange that several college students I met a few...
Random things
I ate a nacho dog at Let’s Be Frank for lunch. It was delicious.
I am jealous I never thought about opening up a hot dog shop.
Today is so nice I spontaneously tap danced my way in after a break with my bosses.
My new work nick-name is now Twinkle Toes.
I am going to my parents’ collective 110th birthday party this weekend. Karaoke and beer will be involved. Watch out Lincoln...

Oh, kids...
So last night I reluctantly attended a PRSSA networking event at SHS with a coworker. I say reluctantly only because of the horrible experience I had talking to these same kids just a couple weeks back. A couple things I learned about these students:
Some of them are really quite extraordinary. Well-spoken, great resumes, clear vision of what they want to do and how they will change the...
