I mean I really love it. But I’ve become aware that it could be because I grew up in Madison, Wisconsin. Even when we were terrible at football the [...]

“If you wait long enough people with impress you and surprise you.”
Wait long and people will surprise and impress you.

A couple of years ago, when my little sister, her husband and new baby, were planning to visit for Christmas, she made the requirement that there must be a tree if they were going to be there. I thought this was a good idea, but the holiday snuck up on me quicker than I expected [...]

About a week ago or so, I got called out acting in a way that [...]

Ok, so I love large community events. I think that’s why I love college football so much. I’m honestly not that knowledgeable about the actual sport. There’s just nothing more fun than getting together with 85,000 of your best friends and screaming your head off for no apparent reason. (Go Badgers!)
One of the movements that [...]

This weekend I ran the Charlottesville Half Marathon, with a few friends of mine.
