Post Office and Library
So, one of the things that we’ve been doing off and on is cleaning our basement. Mostly, just de-cluttering all the JUNK that has accumulated there over the past 5 years or so. So one of the things that I found was a package of 24 “aerogrammes”. I had these from my mission – the…

Kickball
Okay, a little late, but I thought it worthwhile to take a bit of time to report on the kickball tournament that I mentioned in my last post. There was some talk going back and forth in the morning about whether or not we were going to play. It had rained the last 2 nights,…

Playin the piano
So, as previously mentioned, we got a piano a bit ago. The kids have been playing on it and enjoying it, and Carolyn has commented that there’s just something “cooler” about a piano rather than an organ.

Negotiating / Piano / Puns
So I don’t know why negotiating is so hard. Let me tell a little story. We have been wanting to get a piano for some time now. Unfortunately, because of the lifestyle decisions we have made (i.e being SITCOMs (or actually SIFCOMs at this point instead of DINKs), we aren’t really in the position to…

Wikipedia weirdness
So…. I’m not sure which I find more strange. The fact that Wikipedia has a category called Educational institutions formed in 1978, or the fact that there are 43 entries in it….

Skip this post if you’re not Mormon
So I subscribe to a couple of Mormon-themed blogs. Most of the times their contents don’t interest me a whole lot. But here’s one that I found quite funny. Feel free to look at it if you’re not Mormon but you’re not going to find it funny I bet. Conference and Rumors of Conference –…

Chicago Church
So I’m in Chicago, after a roundabout trip. If you want to see more info on that, check Day 0, Day 1 and Day 2. So anyways, I went to church at the Plainfield Ward, in Joliet, IL. And there were a few things of note that I felt like blogging about. A few months…
