the elf in my drawer at work
Posted: October 27, 2008 in Uncategorized, writingTags: calculator, elf, office
I have an elf that lives in my drawer at work. Every time I put my calculator back in the drawer, the elf sneaks up and pushes all sorts of random buttons so that the next time I take it out, the screen looks like this: M+92858753261. This is the only explanation I have for [...]
New stove! electric ignition

OUT WITH THE OLD IN WITH THE NEW We got a new stove today. I mentioned I wanted to get a new one at work because I read that 60% of the total energy used per year in gas stoves is just having the pilot lights lit all the time. So this guy at work [...]
Do you know your BMI?

Your body mass index is a decent indicator of how healthy you are and what you ideal weight should be. It measures your height and weight and puts you on a sliding scale. One exception is that if you have a lot of muscle mass (like me) you may appear heavier or over-weight, even though [...]

Still commuting by bike, 32 degrees.

I’m still going strong, even though it has been pretty chilly the past few mornings. It was 32° this morning. Coming down off the hill is very cool. I’ve had to alter my clothing set-up a bit. I also switched helmets. I was using my nice bike helmet with all the vents, but that got [...]

Funny story… We were hanging out at our friends house last night when Joe comes in and and says, “Hey what do you do if you think your car’s on fire?” ,grabs the fire extinguisher, and walks back outside. We all pile out and are greeted by noxious fumes. There is gray smoke pouring out [...]
Yay! today is the day my blog broke 1,000 views. Only after three months, that’s pretty cool considering how my old one at blogspot got 4 over two years. Thank you everyone for coming and checking out what I have to say. Come back often and invite a friend. Peace.
I don’t usually do this, but here is the newest scene I wrote for my novella. I kind of like it. Please leave feedback since this is a rough draft. And without further ado: Treena turned away from her conversation with Sam and looked back down at the monitor showing their biometric feeds. Her lips [...]
Anyone who knows me knows I love the outdoors. It is where I choose to play and where I can live life to the fullest. And, in no small part due to the Rescue Mission, it is where I find God. I started going to Camp I’d Ra Ha Je (I’d Rather Have Jesus) back [...]
I am designing a new product

I play penny whistle at church. I have a few different keys that I need for different songs so I just have to stick the other whistles in my pockets or on the ground when I’m not using them. When we were praying, I gently propped one of them on the guitar stand and it [...]
