I took the Myers-Briggs personality test* for the first time my freshman year of high school. Though I don’t recall any other specific questions, I do remember one. It was something along the lines of - Do you value mercy or justice? I remember because I thought it was a silly question. Justice clearly, because true justice [...]

Never-ending tug-of-war
There is a tennis ball locked between Buddy’s and Bailey’s jaws. I’m not sure exactly how long they stayed like this, but it was long enough for me to think maybe I should take a picture. I had time to ponder it, work up the energy to move, go into the house, find my phone, [...]

A day at the park
Riverfront Park is really starting to grow on me. There is something really peaceful and simply pleasant about the area. I love the carousel with the antique horses. While I was watching people go round and round, I saw an infant take his first ride. His father chose a giraffe for the occasion. I almost [...]

A break from the intern cave
Today I got some exciting news about my internship, exciting to me at least. So far my duties have been mainly limited to answering the phone, logging mail, and wrapping flags. On a good day, I get to write a note to someone important or track down contact information and exercise my journalism skills.
But next [...]

Worst fork ever
It’s not even a real fork. It is a spork. It came with a salad I ordered when I was with my family at Silverwood last weekend. The fact that it is made of plastic, I can understand. But it was also quite small, no larger than a pen. The tines were short, not very [...]

How many men does it take to set up a basketball hoop?
A lot. Not pictured here are the men standing behind the hoop and the ones farther out to the sides giving directions. They were setting it up for the basketball portion of the wheelchair games. I was in the process of carrying signs across the court when I snapped this picture so that’s why it is [...]

Rollin’ on the River
I had a couple photos for this post, but my phone is failing at its job in life so I must proceed without them.
My volunteer time at Rollin’ on the River, the 29th National Veterans Wheelchair Games ,went well. I worked in signage and graphics. It was my job to place signs directing people to correct locations. [...]

All I get is formatting text, candy and breakfast
I’ve been waiting for some time to collect enough entertaining search terms to blog about. But, I’m not very patient. I rarely get a good one because I really don’t have that many posts yet. So far, the terms have been in three main categories: justified text, gummy bears, and pancakes.
The justified text ones are [...]

More kitties!
Why? Because as they get bigger they become even more adorable. If adorable kitties won’t make your day, take your sad, bitter self away from the internets and see a therapist. Or at least skip this post and wait for the next, which will hopefully have more substance. But I promise nothing as there are also [...]

Highlights from the fourth
My 95-year-old grandfather decided he wanted a turn on the paraglider. Half the family thought it was a great idea. The other half thought it was crazy and far too risky. In the end, my grandfather loved it, bumpy landing and all. He had never seen the family land from such a view before. My cousins [...]
