Hopefully the tap tempo pedal will be waiting for me when I get home, as that will make my life a lot easier. The pedal was actually in pretty good shape.

God had been putting my friend Ryan Kee on my heart a lot in the last several days, so I decided to give him a call.

One of the (many) unpleasant experiences I had at the doctor yesterday occured when I stepped onto the scale between the waiting room and the exam room so the nurse could notate my weight. My favorite part of this exercise is when the nurse starts moving the weights on the scale from the 250-pound mark. I always move it to 300 for them.

A little blurb I wrote on choosing whether to tell your children about Santa Claus: Santa will not usurp Jesus in my home. Allow me to start with that.

As I mentioned before, Shonda the Honda passed away, and, after a week of bumming rides and stressing myself sick, I have purchased a Navy Blue 1992 Honda Accord from my friend Justin Mitchell.

In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids. You may need to stand on the lid. 4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds.

We haven't seen each other for the last eleven weeks, and we've only been dating for thirteen weeks (who's counting?). Needless to say, long-distance relationships suck.
