Last weekend, we decided to have a party at our house, since we had no other plans. It was the best time I’d had in quite some time- the weather was fantastic (which never happens for my parties) and despite extending the invitations only five days ahead of time we had 23 people show up. […]

Knot Knowledge
Last year a friend was getting ready to move cross-country and asked for my help. Having loaded my share of U-haul trucks, I knew that securing a load for a long journey would be tricky. You typically can’t effectively use ratchet straps or bungee cords in a U-haul truck because of the way the rails […]
Even more internet frivolity

Colorado Vacation – Closing Comments
Well, we arrived back home shortly after midnight last night after a 800 mile day of driving. Everything seems to be in order (i.e. the house didn’t burn down), the cats are happy to see us, and Evan’s happy to be home. For we adults, it’s back to the same-old-same-old, but at least now we’ve […]
