I love a morning at home. But almost even better is a morning at home with a purpose, an adventure on the horizon. Today I’m headed to Michigan for Julia’s graduation from Western Michigan University. After she is properly celebrated tomorrow with plenty of chocolate and champagne, a group of us are headed north to...

On the Bandwagon: Netflix
After many recommendations and years of direct mail advertisements, I finally gave in and joined Netflix. The ability to watch some movies online is what actually sold me as that’s pretty much the only place I watch TV/movies these days as I have neither cable nor a convertor box attached to my TV. (Though I...
8th Grade Graduation: Bailey
In four years both Bailey and I will graduate again. She will be heading off to college and I will be a doctor, never to be in college again. (Hurray for the both of us!) But for now, high school here she comes. Go Class of 2013! Watching the Laker Victory parade prior to the...
I’ll own them: my family
I love this family and I love these photos because they make me laugh when I think of the half hour I spent trying my best to wrangle everyone and failing miserably. (Though they are forewarned that I will make them go another round when we are all together in Oregon in August!)

And yet despite the seemingly random nature of life, I believe there is a purpose and a direction and some semblance of reason to it. Take for instance my decision to return to school and pursue graduate studies...
Loveliness.
Most of the day has been overcast and rainy though the sun is showing it’s face here and there this afternoon. With school four days a week now instead of two (the summer term is just eight weeks instead of the usual 15-16 so every class meets twice a week for twice as long), I’ve...
Mo’ Foto
Just booked another second shooter gig! That’s four in the coming months. Yeah!
Wrigley
When I decided that Chicago was to be my future home, almost immediately I was asked which team I was going to side with. Neither a sports fan nor knowledgeable about Chicago rivalries I idiotically asked, “Huh?” I was quickly schooled on the Cubs/White Sox rivalry and given a thorough description of the teams’ histories,...
