Confessions

No Spin Zone

April 20, 2011

It should come as no surprise to you that I run with a crowd of Disneyphiles. Which is really quite cool because there are a select few groups in which I can let my mouse card hang out without being shunned. That said, I have a confession to make. One that it appears as though [...]

That Thing I Do

February 13, 2011

I have a thing.  It’s a rather unbecoming trait, actually. It’s not that I’m abrasive.  Or that I lack self-awareness.  Or that I’m rude. Rather, I project. I’m not a psychologist, so I can’t say with 100% certainty that “projecting” is an accurate description of that thing I do.  But it’s the best explanation I [...]

The Grunion, They Run

November 17, 2010

When I was little my family used to go camping every Memorial Day weekend. We’d drive 70 miles up the coast until we reached our favorite spot of all: Plaskett Creek.  The sites there are grassy–some nestled right up against the woods.  Just across the highway is Sand Dollar beach.  Every year we’d pick up [...]

This Side

February 21, 2010

We had some friends over for breakfast this morning.  Friends–or maybe family– I can’t quite be sure.  Maybe a little of both. Not that it was always that way.  Far from it. We’ve known each other for more than half of my life.  For seventeen years. But we’ve only liked each other for, eh, maybe [...]

Conspiracy Theory

February 15, 2010

We take an annual vacation in late September/early October. We go to Walt Disney World, where we walk a cumulative hundred miles around the theme parks. Unfortunately for my waistline, we also eat our weight in fudge and ice cream and chocolate covered everything. And our return home is marked by the start of fall [...]
