Guy

After his opening act finally schlepped off stage (not that she wasn’t good, I was just anxious for Guy to get started!), Guy Forsyth sat down in a chair on the roomy stage at Poor David’s new location in south Dallas last night and proceeded to serenade the room with his fantastic voice and a …

Finally, it’s time for finals.

Tuesday night, I had due my “big” research paper (7-10 pages, including bibliography) in my political science (presidency) class. It was a mad rush to finish on time — which I did — and thus began my week of “finals” for yet another semester. I was out on campus Tuesday afternoon and this morning, and …

Turkey day wrap-up

I had a fabulous Thanksgiving break. I want to stress that it went very well — exceeded my expectations, even — and I am very grateful for that. Our turkey even had legs, for crying out loud! That said, there were a couple of big disappointments along the way, namely: The 178 Club was out …

Thanks for your help, Paul! Daniel’s unloading the very last item from my apartment — which was the first thing …

moving recap

The moving extravaganza weekend went better than I’d hoped. Thanks to the help of some wonderful people — Paul, Robby, Rhett and Sandra — we got all of my stuff and most of Daniel’s stuff moved in a single day. Now all that’s left to do is the nesting, which we all know is MY …

dilemma resolved

{stunned stupor} I won’t speculate what’s behind this unprecedented occurence, but my mother implicitly agreed this morning not to make an issue of sleeping arrangements at Thanksgiving. There was no fighting, no begging, and no bargaining involved in the discussion or resolution. {/stunned stupor}
