RIP Nick Adenhart
Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart, 24, was killed in a traffic accident early this morning in Fullerton, California only hours after pitching a six inning gem in Anaheim.

Pavement on the Road to Hell
One of my most vivid memories from high school is a project we did in Latin where we had to take a saying, translate it into Latin and then make a poster for it. My friend Sang chose “the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.” That is about as apt a parallel as there is for my blogging.

Hello From Denver
So my idea for travel notes from the road hasn’t gone as planned. Between the Edge network being slow as molasses and some flakiness with iPhone apps, here’s the first blog from the road. Howdy from Denver! Posted with LifeCast

In A Nutshell
It’s been several years since I bade my former personal blog farewell. I made a commitment at the time I shut it down that I would one day bring up a new personal blog. While I’ve had the domain parked…and even had hosting set up…for more years than I care to admit, it’s still sitting around undeveloped. Funny thing about blogging…I used to love it. I still do...
