Thomas Paine
I have resolved to take a US History class and become the foremost expert on Thomas Paine. I will write many books and essays. I will refer to him as T. Paine in all literary works. I will laugh hysterically. That is all.

Jeeping with Wes: Catastrophe
Just got back from Jeeping with Wes in Uwharrie. Wes decided to break in his BRAND NEW Jeep on the trail. He seriously got it no more than 10 days ago. It's a 2004, but it was in pristine condition at the beginning of the day. I fixed

So I've switched to WordPress on a newfangled server (ok just a newer old server, my old 2.4GHz P4 "Quagmire"). Migrating all of my Serendipity posts out was sort of a bitch. I lost all my comments, and am thinking of adding them back. Here&

Number 16, I will miss you
I had my Top Left Wisdom Tooth pulled today. Tooth #16. The dentist did a good job. It was a pretty big effort judging by how sore my skull is right now, but I was in and out of the office in 45 minutes. Pretty good time. I learned a
