There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person. - G.K. Chesterton
“It is the immemorial privilege of letter-writers to commit to paper things they would not say; to write in a more grandiose manner than that in which they speak; and to enlarge upon feelings which would be passed by unnoticed in conversation.” -C. S. Lewis, in a letter to Arthur Graves

Another Christmas in the books…whatever that means. My efforts to eat healthier have been both a success and a failure. A success in the sense that we’ve bought healthy things to eat and snack on…a failure in that my stocking was full of candy and our fridge full of leftover desserts. [...]
In an effort to foster a sense of peace and good will towards men, the good folks at my local post office are despensing Christmas cheer with reckless abandon.
We live in a miniscule little town on the outskirts of Greensboro that only earns its townhood by the fact that there is a small post office. [...]

Overall I think the day [...]
This is one of two photos that document the fort-building prowess of me and my two best friends growing up. This one lasted the longest, I think, until it met an untimely demise at the hands of nature. (It was swept away when the creek overflowed during a really bad rain.)
