Sitting here reading my textbooks, was listening to a video lecture, it rained on and off during the night, woke up to rain, and it’s still raining, alternating between sprinkling and out and out really hard showers (with lots of wind to boot). There are times when I can open my windows such that the […]

Miscellaneous thoughts
Such a nice day out there today, my favorite season is fall – the temp is “just right”. Too bad it only lasts 4-6 weeks here in MN. (Lol) I’ve got a few (good) stories to write about but I’m not doing it today. But, I’ll preview them for you: First one is about my […]
Excitement over school!

Infrastructure”) at Saint Thomas starts this Friday evening – never had a Friday evening course before (it’s probably going to ruin my very exciting social life – ha ha). 14 weeks/class sessions, final exam, no mid term exam, not sure if there is a team project yet, but […]

Lailah – Babysitting – Jordan picking her up
So Jordan comes by to pick her up tonight, after getting off work. We’re in the living room, she is “hiding” from her dad, as she always does – it’s a game with her. While waiting for her to show herself, we talk about his day, I compliment him on the recent “job completion” pics […]
