Holy shit. I forgot that volunteering to work at the clothes-selling place over the weekend of the Fourth meant volunteering to work on my feet all weekend while people went INSANE. Is time-and-a-half worth it? Yes. When I pick up my sweet n...

Here's the deal. I don't plan on voting for John McCain, but that doesn't mean I think he's the devil. Quite the opposite -- eight years ago, when I actually WAS young and naive, I would have voted for him. Seriously -- I thought he was like "R...

graduations and babies

2008-06-21T18:05:41Z

If you want to see some crazy shit, go to my friend Lyz's blog. She lives in Cedar Rapids, IA, which is currently being consumed by the Cedar River. With any luck, Lyz will be up here this weekend, where she can shower and use the internet at a...

I’d been tutoring Dee and Bri all year, watching these girls gain more confidence in math and celebrating when Bri got an A+ on a test. One day, one of them said something about the lattice method of multiple digit multiplication, and got a chanc...
