Dogen Sangha Blog – written by an 86 year old Buddhist Monk
Some of it is pretty interesting. But it is also exactly the kind [...]

I finished my little lego house.

It’s pretty cute! But you know, the one I remember building when I was a kid was way snazzier. It had all these details on the inside too, like a sink with a faucet and cabinets that opened and closed. Toys are just not a cool these days… probably [...]

Just what the doctor ordered
(tags: blogging)

I recently switched my webhosting to a place that has more capabilities, and I installed a WorldPress blog. I feel like I’ve stepped up a rung on the blogging pecking order.

We ate it on the floor of our lavishly decorated room in front of [...]

So, of course, it doesn’t snow all winter, and then decides it’s going to storm on the weekend Josh and I are heading three hours south to a bed and breakfast in Lexington. Worst case, we get trapped in the snow and die. Best case, it adds to the romance of the evening and the [...]

I felt like some inspiration today.
