  • Exploring Downtown Chattanooga

    Exploring Downtown Chattanooga

    After recovering from the delicious lunch, we spent Wednesday evening exploring downtown Chattanooga with Jason and Kaylin. I got a few decent pictures of them and us loving on each other and standing around the lovely buildings. There were a bunch of people playing and swimming in the fountains. Perhaps it’s because I think of Baltimore’s Inner…

  • Cooking with Kristopher

    On Tuesday we invited Kristopher over to Jason and Kaylin’s house while they were at work and cooked some absolutely mouth-watering grilled vegetable sandwiches and sweet potato fries. Prep time was much longer than we expected, but even Rachel admitted the meal was worth the wait. I think we can congratulate ourselves on a job…

  • When Holidays Aren’t

    While I wanted Rachel not to have to work both of her jobs today, her becoming markedly ill was not the method I envisioned. After seeing a doctor she ended up going to her second job regardless, leaving me to pick up her prescriptions. Thus, I spent more time driving on Route 40 than is…

  • Reconstruction

    Now that the social purge is complete, I’ve begun adding people back to my Facebook friends list. In addition to grumbling about Facebook’s cluttered, opaque interface (remember when we all joined it because it was so much simpler and cleaner than MySpace?), I’m placing new friends into category lists as I go along. Because friends…

  • Social Purge

    I have been threatening to clear my Facebook account for a while now, and with the EFF’s latest revelations of how the site attempts to “zucker” private information from its unsuspecting users, today seemed like as good a time as any. And so it is done: zero friends. This has certainly been a long time…

  • This Was a Triumph

    All too often my weekends pass by in a blur of responsibilities, visiting families, and going places that, after ensuring I am sufficiently dizzy, cruelly abandons me on Monday morning. I am left drinking coffee and asking myself just where that time went, and how long is it until Friday again? In a refreshing inversion,…

  • The New Happy Couple

    Last week Rachel and I made the approximately twelve-hour (including stops) journey to the Ooltewah, Tennessee for my best friend Jason’s wedding. This wedding was especially momentous for a number of reasons: my friend of twenty or so years was getting married, I was his best man (as he was in my wedding last year),…

  • Accio Harry Potter

    Rachel is a big fan of the Harry Potter books, managing eventually to convince me to read the series myself. Naturally, she’s been super-excited about the upcoming film adaptation of the sixth seventh book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, so we planned on seeing it when it comes out July 15th. Last night, after…
