If any of you, for some reason, want to know what we want for Christmas, feel free to check out Ben’s list and Jenelle’s list. Please don’t spend too much on us — we’ve got a lot of stuff already. 🙂

Music Bookcase
I was considering the purchase of a bookcase at Ikea for all of my music books and related items. However, Jenelle noticed one that was on sale at Target, so we got that one instead. It was only $65, and we didn’t have to drive nearly as far. We set it up in about an […]
Back from Oregon
Jenelle and I spent almost a week in Oregon, and we just got back last night. We took a bunch of pictures along the Columbia Gorge Scenic Highway, so I uploaded some to share with everybody. I also took some movies at each of the waterfalls we visited, so I hope to have more online […]
Zoo!
Jenelle and I went to the Brookfield Zoo on Saturday. This is actually Brookfield, Illinois (a lot of you family members might be more familiar with a town in Wisconsin with that name). It was an absolutely beautiful day — I should have worn shorts. We went there to hang out with Jenelle’s roommate Sarah, […]
Office Rivalry
Tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. CDT, the Northwestern football team, which hasn’t lost this year, takes on Michigan State. Here’s a picture of me and Marc, a colleague who works in the office near where I sit. After tomorrow, it is likely that only one of us will be smiling. 🙂
Another Busy Week
Well, all of the playoff teams in the Midwest are out, so we don’t have any more baseball games to go to. Darn. However, there’s still plenty to keep us busy. Take this week for example. Besides work, here’s what we do: Monday: I went to a worship band practice because I’m playing at the […]
Playoff Bound
Lots of baseball for us this weekend. We had friends and family over on Friday night to watch the Brewers defeat the Cubs 5-1 and take a one-game lead in the wild card race. On Saturday, we were present to watch the Cubs win the second game of the series 7-3, putting the Brewers back […]
No-No Way!
As Adam and Allison mentioned in the comments, I count myself among a very elite few who had the great privilege of witnessing the first Cubs no-hitter since 1972, when Carlos Zambrano shutout the Astros at Miller Park last week. It was by far the best baseball game that I’ve ever been to. The entire […]
Poke poke poke
Even though I spent the first three days of this week in Nashville at a work-related conference, I didn’t find it especially exciting. Maybe that’s because the last time I was in Nashville, I ran my best marathon ever. Anyway, I’d like to post a link to a YouTube video of one of my favorite […]
Gonna Fly Now
My good friend, Mark, easily did ten push-ups with Caleb (his son, left), and David (oldest son of Steve & Mary, right) on his back. He can also beat me in running races 10 miles or shorter. 🙂
