Wednesday Night Update

November 6, 2008

It’s 2am and I should be in bed but… I had company over pretty much all evening – we watched the storm from my 9th floor balcony, it was pretty amazing! We had some severe thunderstorms roll in this evening.

One Year Update

November 1, 2008

I had a great Halloween… got to spend some time with family and friends! I remember back to last year’s Halloween… I had gone to the hospital with bad chest pain that turned out to be acid reflux. (I wrote about it actually in this post if you want to read it). [...]
