• Shoo Stye, Don’t Bother Me

    My eye really started bugging me yesterday at kickball. Came home, didn’t notice anything other than a great amount of pain. Woke up this morning and my top eyelid was all swollen! Hopped on the computer, did some research, and it looks like I have a Stye. Boo, it hurts… At least it looks better than Caitlin’s eye, though.

  • My Beer Taste

    For those of us who have wandered away from the immature, watered down American-made beers, we face many varieties and flavors. I was thinking last night (I know, shocking), that my taste in beer really has been all over the place through the years.

  • What’s the rush to buy a home?

    I’m not in one and for good reason. I just ran the numbers using this nifty tool and found that unless I can find a place for $312,000 (you can’t find ANYTHING in this area for that amount), I’m saving money by paying rent ($2000/mo, adjusted with inflation), heck, far more than I currently do pay, than buying a house. That $2000/mo gets me…
