Commemorating Martin Luther King day, a Facebook friend of mine posted a link to Dr. King’s “Letter From Birmingham Jail.” I first read this in an anthology while I was probably a freshman in high school.

I wrote this bit a long time ago, but I’m in the process of changing things up around here, and I decided that I wanted to have it in a place that was a little easier to reference. So, here it is.   First, there was a boy and a girl. Or maybe it’s better […]

Today I undertook day two of the Lifestyle 101 course at LLU. You can find my Day 1 experience here. A few usability notes at this point. 1 – I’ve been playing with the little application that tracks calorie intake, and I find it’s not the most intuitive thing in existence. I may be writing […]
