I was riding my bike to work on Fri., June 12 and got stuck waiting for a motorcade at 17th and Constitution. It turned out to be President Obama.
The Day She Died
I’m waiting to board a flight home so I can help take my mom home from the hospital and help her adjust to life after a massive heart attack. Except now I’m not. I’m going home to plan her funeral.
993.5 Miles to Go!

Oh Tannenbaum! 2014
Mom makes the cover of Oh Tannenbaum! 2014 (kissing Santa Claus, no less) to honor her with the playlist bringing together clever new songs, incredible “oldies” and a few traditional favorites. Just like she’d like.
Throwback Thursday
This was the Christmas that really began my love affair with computers—the Christmas I got my very first one. It was a TI 99/4a and I was so excited! Thanks mom and dad!
