Kids On A Plane
No, I do not have kids. Yes, I do plan on having some. I think taking kids on planes is awesome. It’s an experience that all children should have. It means they’re seeing more of the world than their home or daycare, and I feel in the long run that they’ll be better people for it. I also realize kids are difficult to control.…

I Funded A Loan on Kiva
If you haven’t heard of Kiva before, go here and read about it. I selected an auto mechanic from Kenya, Harison Ochar Kimori, as my man.

American Idol: Season 9
Tonight it comes to an end. Yet another season down, yet more dreams made. I finally got a chance to watch the finale (without cable at home right now) and firmly believe Crystal should win based on last night’s performance, but I don’t care either way as this season really wasn’t that impressive and I didn’t get attached to anybody. In seasons past, the…
