Am I wearing a KICK ME sign today? Or even a NUDGE ME REALLY HARD sign? I checked, and the answer is no. I would really like to know what the problem is then, because I feel like I was just subjected to a public beating – and it’s only 11:00 a.m.! I always thought [...]

Yo ho… oh no
I am singing opera. Not right now, of course, but every day since two weeks ago Monday and until Saturday night. I am in an all-German performance of “The Flying Dutchman” with the Colorado Opera.

Ach nein!
Life is so humorous. Like today, for example: in my state and local politics class, the girl who was sitting in front of me is from Germany (I am a shameless eavesdropper – let it go.) We were talking about the man who was caught with marijuana and the D.A. threw out his case because [...]

The times, they aren’t really a changin’
Today has been an interesting dip into the pool of my past (apparently I will also be dipping into the pool of really bad metaphors and lame figures of speech, but that’s for later.)
I met up with two old friends today: a friend I never honestly intended to see again, and my senior prom date, [...]

Oh, love
“Dad. Are you crunching tortilla chips while I am trying to watch ‘The Bachelor’?”(audible stopping crunching of tortilla chips.)
“Dad! Are you clinking your spoon while I am trying to watch ‘The Bachelor’?”(stopping clinking of spoon. Also, audible pondering of why someone was eating tortilla chips AND something that required a spoon simultaneously…)
“DAD! Are you breathing [...]
