One of my fraternity brothers, now a student at Northwestern Medical School, was on TV on Thursday, January 15. He won over $42,000 in cash prizes. Here’s a link to a story in the Daily Northwestern. Way to go, Ron! I missed two birthdays yesterday (the 23rd). They’re both siblings-in-law. Happy Birthday, Holly! Happy Birthday, […]

And I hope you like jammin’ too
We tried something new at church on Wednesday. Instead of piano, guitar, and drums, we had BASS, guitar, and drums. We sounded more like a rock band. We are blessed to have an opportunity to do that again next week, and we’re going to try a Newsboys song that is one of the most powerful […]
Who’s the big winner?
I finished in eighth place at the tournament last night. I’m not really disappointed — I sat at the table for over two hours, and I had the distinction of being the first person to go “all in”. AW let me deal for everyone else after I was out. That was almost as fun as […]
Texas Hold ‘Em
Tonight, I’m in an eight-person poker tournament. One of my groomsmen got a poker table AND some quality chips, and I’m thrilled that he’s sharing his gift with me and six of his other buddies. Thanks, AW! In other exciting news, people actually like the stuff I’m selling on eBay. The McDonald’s transformers, as of […]
Real bargains!
Last night, I took another step into the internet. I’m selling these items on eBay! In other news, I had a great time watching the football game with Jenelle and my parents tonight. Oh well, the Packers lost. You won’t see me showing any signs of depression. 🙂

It’s a brand new year, and it’s time to announce a new addition to the items on the right-hand column. That’s right, it’s the BenCam! I now have a camera mounted just above my computer screen, and it will take a picture every 90 seconds and upload it to the web. Neat, eh? You can […]
Truly a Family Company

She will be writing articles for SCJ’s internal paper and doing several other editing and writing tasks. There are many reasons to be happy about this. The pay is better, the hours are […]

TotallyWiredTonight
At around 6:00 p.m. tonight, I got an aura, which is a sign that I’ll soon be getting a migraine headache. I have some medication which I can take to make the pain less severe. However, the medication contains a LOT of caffeine. Knowing this, I took only one pill instead of the usual two. […]
