A hard act to follow: After doing some last minute packing Friday evening, I met up at Syberg’s to sing Karaoke with some friends. Normally when I sing karaoke I’m pretty relaxed. On this occasion there was added pressure as the first person in our group to sing was Natalie DeLucia, a professional [...]
Since it’s Good Friday it seems appropriate to post something I’ve been thinking about lately.
“I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: ‘I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept His claim to be God.’ That is the one [...]
A friend of mine invited me to a fashion show last night. I’ve never been to something like this, so I figured, “why not?” I was expecting a runway and photographers and all that, but this show was more of a loft party. There were some Laurie Solet fashions being modeled and [...]
The Bradshaws have been staying at my parents’ house for a couple days and last night we all had dinner together. It was good to see them and it brought back a lot of memories. It’s hard to believe it’s been over five years since they left to go back to England and [...]

I spent a few days in New Orleans last week. This town has all my weaknesses.

Enjoying Bourbon Street
Our hotel was a block off Bourbon Street in the French Quarter. We ambulated about and didn’t have to worry about getting a cab [...]
Just got home from signing a lease. I found a great apartment on the north side of Tower Grove Park. It has central air, a large bay window in the bedroom, a balcony with a view of the Botanical Gardens, new appliances including a dishwasher and stacked washer/dryer, offstreet parking, track and recessed [...]
Friday night was pretty emotional as we said goodbye to Annie, who has moved to LA for school. Perhaps bittersweet is the best word to describe it. On the one hand there are the tears and sadness that go with saying good-bye to someone you care about and the fears that the physical [...]
I’m starting to stress about finding an apartment. My lease runs up on March 31st. I’ve looked at some apartments online and physically went to view some in Soulard but haven’t been all that impressed. They weren’t horrible but definitely not worth the money. The number one turn-off was the carpet. [...]
