There’s a set of words deeply rooted in our everyday lexicon that, on the surface, seem to make our lives simpler – “just”, “easy”, and “simply”. We tend to use these words to demystify complex situations, impart advice, or share knowledge. But are we aware of the less apparent impact these words can have on…

Quebec
We just got back from a trip to Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. Laura’s sister, Ellen, got married up there and we had a great time. Check out the photos on Laura and my facebook pages. I took a bunch on my blackberry and Laura uploaded the ones from the digital camera. I think you should…

New House – Hurricane Ike
We closed on our new house Friday, September 5th and moved in unexpectedly on Thursday, September 11th! We originally planned to close on the 4th, but delays from the Seller’s bank caused a 1-day delay on the closing of the house.

Brewery Tour Photos
The photos from the Anheuser-Busch brewery tour in Colorado have been posted. Aaron (my brother-in-law) took about 150 pictures, but I posted the ones I liked best. It was fun getting to go through the tour and see the beer brewing process, but the best part was at the end where we got to taste…
