When Dana an I went down to Disney World in January of 2007, we took a couple hours one night just to walk around the Pop Century Resort to take in the atmosphere and snap some pictures. We didn’t have the best camera during this trip, so not all of Read moreRead more

Brad Pitt, BP, Oil Spills, Death Penalties, Jonah, and Jesus

Let any topic linger long enough and sooner or later somebody is going to say something really stupid/thoughtless about it.

How To Be Alone by Tanya Davis [Poetry]

Though I don’t write about it too often here, (I’m sure some of you think I’m ‘out there’ enough already) I love poetry.
