It seems that accessing the internet in Bordeaux, France isn’t nearly as convenient as in the United States, hence the recent decline in Lindsor’s regularly scheduled comments in my journal. Lindsor arrived in Paris several weeks ago and has now begun coursework at the Université de Michel Montaigne in Bordeaux. I guess double majoring wasn’t [...]

On Thursday, Jen and I finally went to the Radiohead concert!!! It was quite the wait, and not a cheap one, but I would gladly do it again for a chance to see Radiohead perform. As was our experience three years ago with Lindsor, we had an incredible time listening to just about the greatest [...]

This Saturday was Dustin C.’s birthday. I first met Dustin when he was a lowly 1st grader (my 5th grade year) through our mutual annoyance with his sister, Jen C. We spent much of our early days together playing basketball and Nintendo, though I still don’t understand how I was able to communicate with him [...]
