Happy Friday everyone.  Fall is in the air and it is a beautiful day in the Mile High city.  Enjoy your weekend. Here is an Illustrated Guide to Pet Peeves of E-mail. The Truth about Fast Food.  (Warning: Infographic after jump.) Photo of the Week: Narwhal. Video of...

The Art of Silence

A few years back I heard a pastor talk about the art of silence.  We love surrounding ourselves with sound.  When we’re driving we turn on the radio.  When we’re at home the TV or the radio is on.  When we exercise we love having our iPod rockin’...

Rest and Recharge

Today’s a day of rest for me.  Yesterday was moving day and I am definitely feeling it.  There was a point this morning where I wondered if the creaking and groaning I was hearing was the stairs, only to realize that it was my bones that was making those...

Moving Memories and Part of My Story

Friday List – October 1st, 2010

Friday List – September 24, 2010

It’s the first Friday of fall.  Cool weather is coming and leaves are beginning to fall soon.  I’m a big fan of the fall months.  Happy Friday everyone. Now you can buy Hoof Heels made from cow hooves.  Seriously? UC-Irvine breaks world record for...
